A practical introduction to how waves, currents, and coastal structures shape shorelines over time.
This concise, study-guide style report surveys the key ideas and methods used to model shoreline evolution. It focuses on long-term changes caused by wave-driven currents and the impact of navigation and shore-protection structures. With clear explanations and practical illustrations, it presents a flexible numerical approach designed for engineering use in coastal projects. This edition distills foundational theories, refinements, and important applications to help coastal engineers predict how shorelines respond to design work. It balances theory with engineering practicality, offering a method that can be adapted to real-world coastlines.
- How long-term shoreline change is defined and measured for coastal planning
- Two-line and one-line theories that model sediment transport near groins and headlands
- The role of wave diffraction, diffraction effects, and changing sea levels in shoreline evolution
- Examples and diagrams illustrating equilibrium profiles and dynamic responses

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating and complex world of shoreline evolution, a topic that has long challenged coastal engineers and scientists. The author delves into the history of mathematical models used to predict how coastlines change over time, starting with the pioneering work of Pelnard-Considere in the 1950s. He examines the limitations of early models and traces the development of more sophisticated approaches, including the two-line theory of Bakker, which attempts to account for the movement of sand both along and perpendicular to the shoreline. The book also delves into the intricate impact of wave diffraction on shoreline evolution, exploring how waves bend around obstacles like groins and headlands, shaping the coastline in unique ways. The author discusses the concept of "hooked beaches," which are often formed by the combined effects of refraction and diffraction around headlands, and examines various empirical and theoretical approaches to understanding their formation. The insights presented in this book provide a crucial foundation for understanding the forces that shape our coastlines. By examining the development and evolution of mathematical modeling, the author highlights the ongoing quest to develop reliable and practical tools for predicting future shoreline changes.
