Submarine canyon development controlled by slope failure and oceanographic process interactions [PDF]
The southeastern Australian margin hosts a series of submarine canyons. Although the origin and evolution of canyons within the northwestern segment of the margin is relatively well studied, their quantitative morphology, interaction with longshore drift

Numerical Simulations of Effects of the Layout of Permeable Pile Groin Systems on Longshore Currents
Coastal permeable groins have been used to protect beaches from erosion for centuries. However, the hydraulic functioning of permeable groins has not been fully understood and their design heavily depends on engineering experiences.

Longshore Current Profiles and Instabilities on Plane Beaches with Mild Slopes
The accurate determination of cross-shore longshore current profiles in the surf zone is essentially important in understanding of coastal physical processes and modelling of longshore sediment transport.

The shelf-edge and continental slope current off the west coast of Canada has been monitored at a site off West Vancouver Island since 1985. However, observations at this site may not represent the characteristics of the shelf-edge and slope current off ...

Flow Characteristics of the Rip Current System near a Shore-Normal Structure with Regular Waves
Rip currents are the strong narrow seaward current produced by waves breaking on the coast. Of the many types of rip currents, the present study investigates, experimentally and numerically, the rip current system produced by the wave reflection on a ...

River Jets Versus Wave-Driven Longshore Currents at River Mouths
At river mouths, fluvial jets and longshore currents (LSCs) generated by waves interact hydrodynamically. This idealized numerical modeling study simulates a large number of hydro-morphodynamic conditions (650) to explore the emergent hydrodynamics ...

Even though submerged breakwater reduces incident wave energy, it redistributes the coastal area's wave-induced current, sediment transport, and morphological change.

The shoreline temporarily recedes significantly as incoming storm waves reach the beach and cause wave breaking and energy dissipation. However, since the existing shoreline change model simulates shoreline change based on the longshore sediment ...

The presence of wave coherence, which contributes to the inhomogeneity of wave characteristics and significantly affects wave processes over nearshore regions of the Yellow River Delta (YRD), was simulated and analyzed in this study.
