TOWARDS MODELLING COASTAL SEDIMENT TRANSPORT

Sediment Transport Modelling for Coastal Morphodynamics

The accurate prediction of sand transport rates in the coastal zone depends not only upon the choice of sediment transport model but also, rather critically, upon the formulation used to predict the bed roughness (ks). Sand transport rates are modelled here using both a One-equation, turbulence-closure, TKE-model and also Bijker’s sand transport model. Following some remarks about the nature an...

Modelling of Sediment Transport in Beris Fishery Port

In this paper, the large amount of sedimentation and the resultant shoreline advancements at the breakwaters of Beris Fishery Port are studied. A series of numerical modeling of waves, sediment transport, and shoreline changes were conducted to predict the complicated equilibrium shoreline. The outputs show that the nearshore directions of wave components are not perpendicular to the coast whic...

Wave Induced Mine Burial and Sediment Transport in Coastal Environment: Wave and Sediment Transport Modeling Studies

The long-term goal of this work is to develop numerical simulation techniques for predicting waveinduced sediment transport and bed evolution in the coastal zone (order 10 meter depth outside the surf zone), at horizontal scales of tens of meters or less, and the scouring/burial around objects/obstacles (mine-like), partially buried in the bottom. This research was initially motivated by the Na...
