This book can potentially serve as a comprehensive textbook for
students pursuing this subject either as degree or an elective
course. It covers all the fundamental physics behind the different
phenomena taking place in the near shore regions and the coast as
well as the various methods to estimate its impact. Basic knowledge
of water wave mechanics is crucial in understanding the coastal
processes taking place in the near shore. The assessment of
incident forces due to wind, wave, tide, current etc. is important
to evaluate the resultant impact they cause on the shoreline and
structures.This book emphasizes the importance of sediment dynamics
by analyzing the sediment characteristics, the physics of its
motion and movement, factors responsible for the fate of sediments
etc. It also highlights the erosion problem which is most prevalent
across the sandy coasts, additionally erosion combating methods and
techniques are also described with real time field problems and
their solutions.A wide range of coastal structures and their design
principles are included in this book in order to give the reader a
holistic understanding to the readers. This book also includes the
design challenges and introduces the reliable modeling tools and
techniques, which is very useful for beginners working in this
discipline.
