Abstract: A mathematical model is presented for calculating the change in volume and sand-bypassing rate at ebb-tidal shoals. Conceptually and mathematically, the ebb-tidal shoal is distinguished from bypassing bars that emerge from ...

Abstract: A useful and computationally simple method is given for estimating the wave breaker height and angle behind structures on a uniformly sloping bottom. The breaking wave height behind a structure is assumed to be proportional ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic feasibility of a proposed third inlet to East Matagorda Bay, Texas, was examined by application of a two-dimensional, depth-averaged hydrodynamic model. Wind-driven flows in this remote, shallow bay ...

Abstract: The total longshore sediment transport rate in the surf zone was measured at a temporary groin installed at Indian Rocks Beach, west central Florida. Approximate mass balance between updrift accumulation and downdrift ...

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: This paper describes a numerical modeling system called NMLONG that was developed to calculate the wave height, wave direction, mean water level, and steady‐state time‐averaged longshore current velocity across a multiple ...
