Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book unpacks the history of hydraulic modeling used to solve complex coastal engineering problems. The author traces the evolution of tidal, estuarine, and coastal models that predict wave patterns, storm surge, shoaling rates, and more. The author also shows how these models simulate how structures such as jetties, seawalls, and breakwaters will perform under a variety of environmental conditions, including storm-induced flooding and long-term changes to the coastline. Concepts are illustrated with examples of existing models and case studies, making this a valuable guide for practicing engineers, graduate students, and researchers concerned with coastal hazards and the design of coastal structures. The book represents decades of advances in coastal engineering modeling and is a comprehensive guide to physical modeling in coastal engineering.
