Wave reflection on natural beaches: an equilibrium beach profile model
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2003Waves are the most energetic phenomena that control beach morphology. The beach profile mostly depends on the way in which the incident wave energy distributes along the profile, dissipation and reflection being the main mechanisms. While the dissipation phenomena have been widely studied, the effect of wave reflection on the beach profile has ...

The configuration of equilibrium beach profile in South China
Geomorphology, 2007Abstract To understand the evolution and stability of beaches, prediction of the equilibrium beach profile (EBP) is theoretically and practically important. In the present paper, a new equation, h = Ae Bx + C is developed to predict the change in beach profile for sections above the water level and the adjacent nearshore portions.

Long-Term Equilibrium Beach Profile Based on Maximum Information Entropy Concept
Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering, 2008 This paper presents an application of the maximum information entropy concept to formulate an equilibrium beach profile (EBP) associated with the long-term beach evolution.

Equilibrium Beach Profile Concept for Delaware Beaches
Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 2007We utilize beach profile data from 37 profile locations on the Atlantic coast of Delaware that were surveyed an average of 12 times between 1964 and 1993 to assess the validity of several equilibrium beach profile (EBP) formulations. Under consideration are (1) a power law formulation; (2) a formulation including the effects of downslope transport; and

Extended equilibrium beach profiles
Coastal Engineering, 2005Abstract The idea of an equilibrium beach profile has been a useful concept in both theoretical and practical coastal engineering studies. In essence, the subject has thus far evolved to a choice of shape functions, which are described by a small set of parameters.

Equilibrium Beach Profile Scale-Model Relationship
Journal of the Waterways, Harbors and Coastal Engineering Division, 1972A model law for two-dimensional, laboratory beach profiles assumed to be at equilibrium is considered herein. An experimental program has been performed and the extensive laboratory beach profile data indicate a relationship or model law between the four basic scale ratios; the horizontal scale, vertical scale, sediment size ratio, and the relative ...

VERIFICATION OF DEAN’S EQUILIBRIUM BEACH PROFILE FORMULA FOR LARGE MAN-MADE LAKES
Materials of XXIV International Coastal Conference, devoted to the 60th anniversary of the “Sea Coasts” Working Group of RAS Council SEA COASTS – EVOLUTION, ECOLOGY, ECONOMY, 2018In the paper the possibility of using Dean’s equilibrium beach profile formula for a large man-made lake coastal conditions was studied. A stringent test of its adequate use was made based on mathematical statistics.
