STRAND—A Model for Longshore Sediment Transport in the Swash Zone [PDF]
Coastal Engineering 2000, 2001 In this paper we report on the development and performance of an engineering model, STRAND which has the aim of predicting longshore movement of coarse sediment above the still water line of steep beaches. The model assumes that this transport is driven by swash run-up at the edge of an unsaturated inner surfzone and uses Nielsen's (1992) formulation ...

Ciencias Marinas, 2008 Punta Banda Estuary, located within Todos Santos Bay, on the northwest coast of the Baja California Peninsula, is separated from the bay by a single sandbar, approximately 8 km long. From 1972 to 2003 this sandbar showed a longitudinal net growth of 420

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 The nearshore wave characteristics and variations in littoral drift (longshore sediment transport; LST) are estimated based on different approaches for four years along the Vengurla coast, with comparable wind-sea and swell energy assessed. The waverider

Intertidal intercepted sediment at jetties along the Gulf of Thailand
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Sand bypassing is one of the promising solutions to rectify jetty-induced coastal erosion. Estimating alongshore sediment transport rate and understanding hydrodynamic conditions at a jetty are crucial for successful downdrift erosion management.

Short-term development of Arctic beach system: Case study of wave control on beach morphology and sedimentology (Calypsostranda, Bellsund, Svalbard) [PDF]
Polish Polar Research, 2019 The objective of this research is to determine the impact of waves on the segregation of sediment within the area of its supply in the context of meteorological conditions.

LONGSHORE SEDIMENT TRANSPORT ALONG THE BELGIAN COAST [PDF]
The Proceedings of the Coastal Sediments 2011, 2011 The littoral drift along the Belgian coast is strongly influenced by the presence of different types of structures but the mechanisms driving these effects are not yet fully understood. In addition, beach and foreshore nourishments are frequently performed and dredging and dumping is a constant activity to guarantee safe navigation.

Longshore Sediment Transport on Dean Beach Profiles
Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984 Natural beaches exhibit an equilibrium profile that is planar nearshore and non-planar, concave-up offshore. The longshore current on these Dean equilibrium beaches is shown to depend on the location of the intersection between the planar and non-planar profiles and on the dimensionless mixing strength parameter if the eddy viscosity coefficient is ...

Computation of longshore currents and sediment transport [PDF]
Computers & Geosciences, 1994 Abstract A numerical model for the steady-state profile of the longshore current induced by regular, obliquely incident, breaking waves is presented. The wave parameters must be given at an arbitrary depth. A rapid convergent numerical algorithm is described for the solution of the governing equation.

Sediment transport by runoff on debris-mantled dryland hillslopes [PDF]
, 2012 Hillslopes supply sediment to river channels, and therefore impact drainage basin functioning and evolution. The relationship between hillslope attributes and sediment flux forms the basis of geomorphic transport laws used to model the long-term ...
