CROSTRAN - a model for beach profile changes due to cross-shore sediment transport under random breaking waves: Progress report 1

Shoreline Change and Strom-Induced Beach Erosion Modeling: A Collection of Seven Papers

This report consists of seven papers dealing with numerical simulation of beach change that were recently published by members of the Coastal Engineering Research Center, US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, and colleagues from other organizations. The papers collectively provide an overview of the state of research and engineering...

Analysis of Cross-Shore Movement of Natural Longshore Bars and Material Placed to Create Longshore Bars

This study develops empirical predictive expressions for design of nearshore berms formed of dredged material. Such berms are placed in the form of long linear sand bars and are expected to behave as natural bars. The study examines the cross-shore movement of natural longshore bars at Duck, North Carolina. Beach profile survey data are...

Bedforms and undertow in the surf zone; an analysis of the LIP 11D-data

The present report gives the results of a study on bedforms and undertow in the surf zone. It is the objective of this study to get a better insight into the physical processes in the surf zone. In this study, we make use of the data obtained during the LIP llDexperiments (Arcilla et al. [1994] and Roelvink and Reniers [1994]). We derive the...

Hurricane Opal: Structural damage and beach and dune erosion problems along the panhandle coast of Florida

In terms of both coastal erosion and structural damage Hurricane Opal may prove to have been the most destructive storm ever to impact the coastal zone of Florida. Structural damage, as well as, beach and dune erosion occurred throughout all of the Panhandle from Escambia to Franklin counties. Damage extended to a lesser degree into lower Gulf...

Simulation of a surf zone with a barred beach. Report 1. Wave heights and wave breaking

The present report describes some of the results obtained during experiments in the Large Wave Flume of the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of the Delft University of Technology. The experiments are part of the PhD-work of M. Boers. They follow on the LIP llD-experiments, carried out in the Delta Flume of Delft Hydraulics in spring 1993. During the...

Beach erosion and rip channels

Short note on the relation between rip channels and beach erosion.
