INTRODUCTION TO COASTAL ENGINEERING

Catalog description

Analysis of waves, including linear wave theory, wave transformation, wave statistics, and wave-induced flows. Analysis of the dynamics of tides, currents, and sea level variations and extreme events, the effects of coastal processes on cross-shore and alongshore sediment transport, on coastal morphology, and on the different types of coastal engineering stabilization measures. Design of beach nourishment and inlet stabilization. Discussion of the fundamental design considerations for coastal engineering structures.
