Coastlines, like many things around us, are constantly evolving.
Keeping pace with the changes and their development is necessary to
ensure their stability and to maintain eco-equilibrium for
nearshore hydrodynamics and morphodynamics. Supported with field
measurements for model validation, several numerical and analytical
tools are available to us to understand the physical processes in
the vicinity of these water bodies.This book encompasses the
engineering principles involved in field data observation,
measurement, collection, and processing; the prediction of wave
climate and sediment transport using measured field data; numerical
modelling involving calibration and validation of the hydrodynamic
and morphodynamic processes; and the study of the underlying
physical processes and the application of sustainable engineering
measures to combat coast- and estuary-related problems.The book has
three sections: The first section is an elaboration on the need for
and framework of the existing management and engineering notions.
The second section details the measurement of the various
parameters such as wave climate (offshore and nearshore), shoreline
changes, beach profile variation, and sediment transport rates. The
third section describes the aspects of wave prediction to arrive at
design characteristics and modelling of the hydrodynamic and
morphodynamic processes along open coasts and tidal inlets.This
book is designed to benefit students pursuing coastal engineering
as their field of specialization. It could also serve as a
guidebook to engineers, planners, and decision makers working in
the fields of coastal, estuarine, and harbour engineering,
governmental and private agencies that plan the financial outlay
for coastal development projects, and private consultants dealing
with maritime hydraulics.
