Numerical Study on Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Using a Submerged Breakwater
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Most coastal structures have been built in surf zones to protect coastal areas. In general, the transformation of waves in the surf zone is quite complicated and numerous hazards to coastal communities may be associated with such phenomena.

Effects of Coastal Groundwater Level on Beach Deformation [PDF]
한국해양공학회지, 2019 In order to understand the characteristics of beach deformation, in this study, numerical simulations were conducted using a 3-D hydro-morphodynamic model (HYMO-WASS-3D) to analyze the characteristics of beach deformation due to the coastal groundwater ...

WAVE CHARACTERISTICS IN THE SURF ZONE
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1978 The equations describing conservation of mass, momentum and energy in a turbulent free surface flow are derived for a controle volume extending over the whole depth. The effect of the turbulent surface oscillations are discussed but neglected in the following analysis, where the equations are applied to the energy balance in a surf zone wave motion ...

SEASONAL EVALUATION OF THE CONDITION FACTOR IN A SURF-ZONE ASSEMBLAGE FROM SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL
Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2019 The surf zone is a highly dynamic environment subject to seasonal fluctuations which could impose restrictions to the development of juvenile fish. The allometric condition factor index (K) provides a value of ‘well-being’ for fish, been used to compare ...

Internal waves and temperature fronts on slopes [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1999 Time series measurements from an array of temperature miniloggers in a line at constant depth along the sloping boundary of a lake are used to describe the `internal surf zone' where internal waves interact with the sloping boundary.

Open Geosciences, 2016 Swash zone topography rapidly responds to the surf zone waves. Understanding how sandy beaches respond to wave action is critical for beach erosion research, and plays a critical role in the design and maintenance of shore protection structures. The main

Laboratory investigation of shape and initial orientation effects on surf zone object migration
Applied Ocean ResearchDiscarded objects like munitions in marine environments pose public safety risks. The behavior of various density objects deployed at four cross-shore positions in the surf zone of a large-scale 120 m x 5 m x 5 m wave flume were observed under different ...

An equilibrium profile model for tidal environments
Scientia Marina, 2002 During a full tidal cycle, the beach profile is exposed to continuously changing hydrodynamical conditions. Consequently, the profile evolves constantly to adapt to these changes.

Emerging crescentic patterns in modelled double sandbar systems under normally incident waves [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2020 Double sandbar systems often characterize the surf zone of wave-dominated beaches and display a variety of poorly explained spatial configurations.
