This study is about recognition of complex sandbar development pattern under
wave action in a sandbar. The study of is for determination energy loss in a sandbar
is rarely in morphology or hydrodynamic study. Therefore, a small scale experiment
of physical model was conducted to determine the velocity of wave action in sandbar
under several conditions of wave action. The objectives of the laboratory experiment
is to build the physical model, to measure the wave action velocity and to calculate
changes kinetic head inside a sandbar caused wave action. The pool will be used is
3m, 10m and 1.5m in size of width, length and height, respectively. The wave
generator is used to generate wave in the pool to ensure the movement of wave
steadily. This experiment was conducted in two types of wave which were short wave
and long wave (tidal). The waves was measured with Cera Diver Data Logger.
