Cross-shore suspended sediment transport under tidal currents
The transport of sediment over an intertidal mudflat by a cross-shore tidal current is investigated analytically by formulating a mathematical model of the fluid and particulate motion. The model exploits the low gradient of the intertidal flats and is based upon a shallow-layer approximation. It is found that the sediment transport comprises advection with the mean flow, deposition and erosion...
متن کاملSandbar Migration Due to Cross-Shore Sediment Transport; A Case Study of Noshahr Coasts, Iran
Cross-shore sediment transport is one of the effective factors in erosion and sedimentation, and affects dynamics of the beach profile in coastal areas. Furthermore, sandbar migration due to cross-shore sediment transport mostly effects beach nourishment, displacement of pollutions trapped in sediments, and organism and plants’ lives. In this manuscript, sandbar migration due to cro...
متن کاملA coastal morphodynamic model for cross-shore sediment transport
A numerical model to represent the mechanisms of cross-shore sediment transport induced by wave and storm events has been established. The model consists of three sub-models (wave transformation, morphodynamic movement, and sedimentation) capable of representing the transport and redistribution of four grain sizes over a coastal area. It is designed to simulate the morphological evolution cause...
متن کاملBeachWin: modelling groundwater effects on swash sediment transport and beach profile changes
Field and laboratory observations have shown that a relatively low beach groundwater table enhances beach accretion. These observations have led to the beach dewatering technique (artificially lowering the beach water table) for combating beach erosion. Here we present a process-based numerical model that simulates the interacting wave motion on the beach, coastal groundwater flow, swash sedime...
متن کاملInteractions of Waves, Tidal Currents and Riverine Outflow and their Effects on Sediment Transport (RIVET II)
Studying the mixing of riverine freshwater and coastal water is the fundamental step to further understand the balance of a coastal/estuarine ecosystem (e.g., Hickey et al. 2010), seabed properties, sediment budgets (Gelfenbaum & Kaminsky 2010), and the sustainable management of the fluvial-estuary habitat (e.g., damming, dredging). The nearfield of a river plume represents an energetic environ...
