Table 3 provides a list of modified theories and additional details. 

 Bowen (1969a) also compared his theory against the experiments of Galvin 

 and Eagleson (1965), as shown in Figure 59. The 6 parameter here related 

 mixing coefficient, friction, etc., but in a different manner than P. B 

 is a grouping of independent variables to give a dimensionless, relative 

 longshore current velocity. The results shown are for K = 0,4 (eq. 68) 

 and include normal wave incidence and setup effects. Because of the 

 relatively simplistic shear stress and lateral mixing models employed, 

 Bowen 's theory has not been subjected to further analysis.

 of Galvin and Eagleson, 1965 (after Bowen, 1969). 



Thornton (1969, 1970a) included wave setup in his theory that 

 in all aspects except lateral mixing was very similar to Longuet-Higgins 

 (1970). A comparison with one experiment of Galvin and Eagleson (1965) 

 is shown in Figure 60. Also shown are distributions of lateral mixing
