Book Description
Along much of the shoreline of the world, tidal inlets play an important role in nearshore processes, providing links between the coastal oceans and protected embayments. Their study is of particular importance not only for the understanding of fundamental processes in coastal oceanography but also for engineering and the proper management of the delicate equilibrium of our shorelines. This volume, based on the International Symposium on Hydrodynamics and Sediment Dynamics of Tidal Inlets held at Woods Hole, MA, presents the reader with an overview of contemporary research on these important features. The coverage includes: - mathematical modelling, including a review of inlet hydrodynamics, - observations on hydrodynamics, - sedimentology and morphology, - tidal deltas, - processes and policies pertaining to sedimentation, and the - impacts of shore protection and dredging in beaches.

Sediment dynamics and stability of tidal inlets
Stability of Tidal Inlets
Author: P. Bruun
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444598243
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
Developments in Geotechnical Engineering, 23: Stability of Tidal Inlets: Theory and Engineering focuses on all aspects related to tidal inlets on littoral drift shores where freshwater flow is small or non-existing. The selection first tackles the development and configuration of tidal inlets and inlet hydraulics. Discussions focus on flow dynamics and nearshore transport, combinations of waves and currents, sediment transport and storage in the tidal entrance, offsets of tidal inlets, natural inlet regimen, migration of inlets, and origin of tidal inlets. The manuscript then examines sediment transport in tidal inlets, stability of tidal inlets on littoral drift shores, and design and improvements of coastal inlets. Topics cover ocean entrance, overall stability condition, hydraulic and sedimentary principles, non-scouring channels, transport of sediments in wave agitated waters, and sediment transport by combined wave and current action. The publication explores improvements by structures, including natural bypassing, types of improvement, and bypassing by structures and bypassing plants or arrangements. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in the stability of tidal inlets.

Hydrodynamics, Sediment Transport and Morphodynamics at Inlets and River Mouths
Author: Jia-Lin Chen

ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Inlets and river mouths are among the most important coastal zones in terms of their economic, ecological and societal values. However, our current predictive capability on the hydrodynamics, sediment delivery and morphological evolution of inlets and river mouths remains qualitative. The overarching goal of this study is to enhance the physical understanding and model development of inlet/river mouth dynamics. The newly developed nearshore circulation model, SHORECIRC, using a hybrid finite-difference finite-volume TVD-type scheme, is coupled with the wave model SWAN and several sediment transport model. This new nearshore modeling system is called NearCoM-TVD. The capability and limitation of NearCoM-TVD for several coastal applications, including tidal inlet hydrodynamics, nearshore wave-current interaction and sandbar migration are evaluated.
