Longshore current dislocation on barred beaches
[1] We present a numerical investigation of longshore currents driven by breaking waves on barred beaches. Alongshore inhomogeneity in the wave envelope or bathymetry leads to the generation of strong dipolar structures when the waves are breaking. The dynamics of these structures transfer momentum from the bar of the beach into the trough. This study is pursued using a new model that allows lo...
متن کاملAssessment of the Longshore Sediment Transport at Buarcos Beach (west Coast of Portugal) through Different Formulations
This study applies some of the most practical longshore sand transport formulations and evaluates their adequacy to estimate the total (suspended and bed load) longshore sediment transport rate (LSTR) at Buarcos Beach, in the West coast of Portugal. The straightforward methodology here present is simple to apply and therefore useful to quickly obtain a first estimate of the littoral transport i...
متن کاملA multi-decade dataset of monthly beach profile surveys and inshore wave forcing at Narrabeen, Australia
Long-term observational datasets that record and quantify variability, changes and trends in beach morphology at sandy coastlines together with the accompanying wave climate are rare. A monthly beach profile survey program commenced in April 1976 at Narrabeen located on Sydney's Northern Beaches in southeast Australia is one of just a handful of sites worldwide where on-going and uninterrupted ...
متن کاملAlongshore Topographic Variability at a Nourished Beach
The present paper examines the generation and inter-annual evolution of alongshore variability in topography measured after the implementation of a sand nourishment. The magnitude of the topographic variability is quantified using 3.5 years of monthly survey data. The emergence and temporal change in alongshore morphological variability is compared with environmental and topographic controls pr...
