Coastal Changes due to the Construction of Artificial Harbour Entrances and Practical Solutions, including Beach Replenishment

When longshore sediment transport is interrupted by a construction along a coast, e.g harbour moles or a dredged approach channel, the equilibrium of the coastline may be disturbed. When the disruption is caused by breakwaters, the longshore transport that is held back will cause accretion updrift of the breakwaters and erosion downdrift of them...

Littoral drift computations on mutual wave and current influence

11th Conference on Coastal Engineering in London 1968, the author presented a method for computing the littoral drift starting from the longshore current velocity as this is generated by the waves and with the assumption that the material is stirred up by the waves. In this paper measurements in a model basin are described by which the procedure...

Scouring of a sand bed in front of a vertical breakwater

The scouring profile of a bottom consisting of movable material as this is formed in front of a vertical wall under influence of the standing wave against this wall is discussed. The form of this profile is different for coarse and fine material. In the case of fine material this material is moved in suspension by the mass transport currents...

Bed-load transportmeter for find sand "Sphinx"

A new bed-load transportmeter has been designed particularly for very fine bed material (below 400 micron). The basic conception is the same as for the so-called Delft-bottle used for measuring transport by turbulent suspension. The instrument is of the flow-through type. The flow enters through a narrow and relatively high nozzle and is...
