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...

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...

KOMAR, P.D., 2010. Shoreline evolution and management of Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand: tectonics, coastal processes, and human impacts. Journal of Coastal Research, 26(1), 143–156. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The evolution of the coast of Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, and its erosion problems have been governed by multiple factors, including its tectonic setting with an earthquake in 193...

The sensitivity of a one-line longshore shoreline change model to the incident wave direction is evaluated at Narrabeen Beach (Australia). As previously observed, application using conditions generated along 10-m depth contour produces long-term reorientation coastline, with an initial transition period and then new stable equilibrium during 10-year from 2005 2015. However, this coastline in pl...

The Northwest Portuguese coastal sector Esmoriz-Nazaré is exposed to a very energetic wave climate that promotes net littoral drift estimated be around 1.1x106 m3/year. This study aimed characterize the in Esmoriz-Nazaré, discussing past and future trends by applying two bulk longshore sediment transport formulas: CERC (1984) Mil-Homens et al. (2013). Generically, results present variability at...
