The beachface evolution under the action of two swash events created by
two solitary waves have been
investigated. It is shown that shock-shock (incoming bore and
backwash bore) interaction occurs
in two swash events. However, in the present examined events,
the shock-shock interaction is weak, and the structure after interaction
is an incoming bore. The second incoming bore disappear because the flow
velocity becomes positive. The final bed change pattern under two
swash events is similar to that under one single swash event but with smaller
magnitude.
