Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Unveiling the dynamics of shoreline change in the presence of man-made structures, this book presents a valuable tool for safeguarding coasts and beaches. The author seamlessly integrates the latest scientific understanding with practical engineering solutions, offering a comprehensive guide to modeling shoreline evolution under the influence of seawalls. The text elucidates the seawall boundary condition, a critical factor often overlooked in shoreline modeling, empowering coastal engineers and scientists with a refined approach to erosion control and beach preservation. By unraveling the complex interactions between waves, sediment transport, and seawalls, this book provides indispensable insights into the preservation of our vulnerable coastal environments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the results of a 1985 field experiment that collected detailed data on longshore sand transport rates in the surf zone, a critical component of beach change and stability, previously not well understood. The author, an expert in the field, describes the setup of the experiment, techniques used, and analysis of collected data. The data collected during the experiment provide a comprehensive view of the sand transport process and its dependency on environmental factors, significantly improving the ability to predict longshore sand transport rates in various conditions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the critical issue of coastal erosion and its impact on the vulnerability of coastal communities to flooding. The author delves into the complex interplay of natural forces that shape our shorelines, including storm surges, wave action, and the movement of sediment. By examining the history of coastal research, the book reveals the limitations of existing methods for predicting beach profile change and dune erosion. The author presents a detailed analysis of three prominent models currently used for estimating dune erosion, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. The book then explores the concept of the "equilibrium beach profile," a fundamental concept in current dune erosion models, demonstrating how this principle can be applied to develop a more reliable understanding of coastal erosion. The book's examination of the "Vellinga" and "Kriebel" models provides insights into the feasibility of incorporating quantitative erosion models into the determination of coastal flood zones. The author thoughtfully analyzes the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating these models into existing methodologies for predicting storm events. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable contribution to the field of coastal engineering, underscoring the importance of accurate and comprehensive modeling of coastal erosion for the protection of coastal communities.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the fundamental principles of tidal flow at inlets and the numerical modeling techniques used to analyze them. The author presents a rigorous theoretical foundation for numerical modeling, focusing on shallow-water equations and implicit finite-difference techniques. 'DYNLET1', the numerical model developed in the book, is a valuable tool for engineers and scientists involved in inlet stability, beach evolution, and bay and lagoon flushing studies. The book's in-depth analysis of tidal flow dynamics, coupled with its practical applications, makes it an essential resource for anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of inlet hydrodynamics and improve their ability to design and manage coastal waterways.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of the coastal processes studied for and observed along the coastline from Sea Bright to Ocean Township, New Jersey. Undertaken at the request of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the research in this book combines historical and contemporary data to provide predictive tools, interpret existing data, and develop stage-frequency relationships for the back-bay and ocean coast. The authors have developed numerical models of long-term shoreline change and storm-induced beach erosion, allowing estimation of storm-induced erosion and recession-recurrence curves. The book also explores the effects of potential beach-fill borrow sites on wave refraction patterns. Ultimately, the research in this book serves to provide coastal engineers, urban planners, and environmental scientists with necessary data for both immediate use and future reference, thus aiding in the preservation of New Jersey's coastline.
