Aggregated morphodynamic modelling of tidal inlets and estuaries

Morphodynamic processes in shallow estuaries: influence of tidal flats and channels on sand transport

Flood/ebb-dominance in net sediment transport of shallow sandy estuaries with tidal flats and channels (typical around the U.K.) is investigated using a 2D model (TELEMAC). The micro-tidal Dyfi Estuary is used as a case study. The along-estuary net sediment transport in the Dyfi has been predicted and characterised as ebbor flood-dominant. The simulations illustrated that shallow waters (inner-...

Engineering of Tidal Inlets and Morphologic Consequences

Tidal inlets are part of the coastal sediment-sharing system, and an inlet will modify the nearshore and estuary morphology, as well as the up-drift and down-drift beaches. Morphologic response to an inlet varies over several time and spatial scales. This chapter discusses inlet morphology and related functional design considerations that must balance navigation and shoreprotection requirements...
