SHOALING WITH BYPASSING FOR CHANNELS AT TIDAL INLETS

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...

High resolution multibeam and hydrodynamic datasets of tidal channels and inlets of the Venice Lagoon

Tidal channels are crucial for the functioning of wetlands, though their morphological properties, which are relevant for seafloor habitats and flow, have been understudied so far. Here, we release a dataset composed of Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) extracted from a total of 2,500 linear kilometres of high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) data collected in 2013 covering the entire networ...

Bypassing of Channels in Eden

We describe automatic bypassing, an optimization of Eden’s implementation to reduce the number of messages and/or threads at runtime. Eden [BLOP97] extends the lazy functional language Haskell with a set of coordination features, aimed to express parallel algorithms. These include process abstractions (or process schemes) and process instantiations (or applications of a process scheme to actual...
