Abstract: A method is given for representing the action of a seawall in the 1-line numerical model of shoreline evolution. The method involves restriction of the shoreline position and adjustment of the longshore sand transport rate ...

Abstract: Design of detached breakwaters for shore protection is difficult because the response of the shoreline to these structures is governed by at least 14 geometric‐, wave‐, and sediment‐related variables. Numerical models of ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions provide a simple and economical means of quickly estimating qualitative and quantitative responses of the shoreline to a wide range of environmental and engineering conditions. This paper presents ...

Abstract: The purpose of this technical note is to present a new formula to compute the incipient breaking wave properties based on a simplified solution of the wave energy flux conservation equation combined with Snell’s law. The ...

Abstract: Topographic data from three different beach nourishment projects were analyzed using empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) to determine the response of the fills at different time and space scales. The studied nourishments ...
