Nonuniform Sediment Transport Modeling at Grays Harbor
A depth-averaged two-dimensional nonuniform sediment transport model is applied to the beaches adjacent to Grays Harbor, WA, USA to test the model skill in predicting nearshore morphology change. The model considers bed material hiding, exposure, sorting, stratification, bed-slope effects, avalanching, non-erodible bed surfaces, and transport due to asymmetrical waves, Stokes drift, roller and ...
متن کاملWave Transformation and Alongshore Sediment Transport Due to Obliquely Oriented Shoreface-connected Ridges
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The present work is funded by the United States Geological Survey Hurricane Sandy, Fire Island Physical Processes Study under project number 2006V38. I want to thank my advisor, Dr. Kevin Haas, for giving me the chance to join his research team, supporting me with my work, teaching me patiently, giving me advice in every aspect and for repeatedly reviewing my thesis. The past y...
متن کاملSediment Transport Dynamics in River Networks Induced by Water Diversion
A river network is a typical completely open system formed by interconnected river channels. The interactions between the imports of a river (water and sediment) and the channel will cause the change of the channel patterns. This is actually a feedback between the erosion and the sedimentation states of the channel via an adjustment of the sedimentcarrying capability of the stream. This feedbac...
متن کاملWave-induced sediment transport and sandbar migration.
Onshore sediment transport and sandbar migration are important to the morphological evolution of beaches but are not well understood. Here, a model that accounts for fluid accelerations in waves predicts the onshore sandbar migration observed on an ocean beach. In both the observations and the model, the location of the maximum acceleration-induced transport moves shoreward with the sandbar, re...
متن کاملShelfbreak upwelling induced by alongshore currents: analytical and numerical results
Alongshore flow in the direction of propagation of coastal trapped waves can result in upwelling at the shelfbreak. The intensity of this upwelling can be comparable in magnitude to wind-driven coastal upwelling, with its associated ecological features. Recent numerical experiments by Matano & Palma indicate that this upwelling results from convergence of Ekman transport at the shelfbreak. The ...
