Sediment Dynamics and Wave-current Interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
Described here is a model for the long-time formation and evolution of erodible beds under the action of waves and currents. It is an extention of a model rst developed by Craik and Leibovich, which describes the dynamics of Langmuir circulation cells, later adapted by McWilliams and Restrepo to model the interaction of a gravity wave eld with global oceanic ows.

Sandbar 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 کاملDevelopment of a Computer Model for the Prediction of Littoral Sediment Transport Rate
In this paper, longshore sediment transport in littoral zones is investigated. For investigation of sediment transport in the nearshore zone, the effects of waves, currents and topographical conditions of coast are considered. Linear wave theory was used for the investigation of the wave behaviour. Governing equations of littoral current are continuity and momentum ones. For calculating concent...

متن کاملA model of sediment resuspension and transport dynamics in southern Lake Michigan
A quasi-three-dimensional suspended sediment transport model was developed and generalized to include combined wave-current effects to study bottom sediment resuspension and transport in southern Lake Michigan. The results from a threedimensional circulation model and a wind wave model were used as input to the sediment transport model. Two effects of nonlinear wave-current interactions were co...

In this study, Mazandaran province's coasts have been classified by using Relative Tide Range, and hydrodynamic models. For this, investigations of waves hydrodynamics, measurement of bed morphology's profiles and sediment characteristics along surfzone, and analyzing of hydrographic maps at 7 stations in east (Neka, Larim and Babolsar), middle (Mahmudabad and Kohnesara) and west pa...
