Book excerpt: The susceptibility of a tidal inlet to closure involves a consideration of two opposing agencies, namely, (a) the onshore wave energy which tends to drive littoral material towards the entrance and (b) the tidal flow which attempts to scour this material to keep the entrance channel open. This concept has been explored with reference to the stability of the inlets on the south shore of Long Island. A generalized criterion for stability is proposed, and it is found that this criterion can be used to classify inlets ranging in size from a laboratory model to large natural entrances.

Book excerpt: Methods used in analyzing flow through tidal entrances on sandy coasts make assumptions regarding the geometry of the inlets and related flow regime, which depart substantially from flow conditions at real entrances. A volume of reduced data on tides, currents and the geometry of tidal entrances is contained in the Tide Tables, Tidal Current Tables and navigation charts of National Ocean Survey. The described approach makes use of these data to characterize the flow in real inlets by means of empirical coefficients which are defined by a simple flow relationship. The evaluation of the published data pertaining to the hydraulics of entrances indicates that the data are sufficiently accurate and representative, despite some yet unexplained discrepancies, to permit the determination of discharge coefficients of inlets, and to identify categories of entrances with characteristic flow regimes.

Book excerpt: Developments in Geotechnical Engineering, 23: Stability of Tidal Inlets: Theory and Engineering focuses on all aspects related to tidal inlets on littoral drift shores where freshwater flow is small or non-existing. The selection first tackles the development and configuration of tidal inlets and inlet hydraulics. Discussions focus on flow dynamics and nearshore transport, combinations of waves and currents, sediment transport and storage in the tidal entrance, offsets of tidal inlets, natural inlet regimen, migration of inlets, and origin of tidal inlets. The manuscript then examines sediment transport in tidal inlets, stability of tidal inlets on littoral drift shores, and design and improvements of coastal inlets. Topics cover ocean entrance, overall stability condition, hydraulic and sedimentary principles, non-scouring channels, transport of sediments in wave agitated waters, and sediment transport by combined wave and current action. The publication explores improvements by structures, including natural bypassing, types of improvement, and bypassing by structures and bypassing plants or arrangements. The selection is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in the stability of tidal inlets.

This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along much of the shoreline of the world, tidal inlets play an important role in nearshore processes, providing links between the coastal oceans and protected embayments. Their study is of particular importance not only for the understanding of fundamental processes in coastal oceanography but also for engineering and the proper management of the delicate equilibrium of our shorelines. This volume, based on the International Symposium on Hydrodynamics and Sediment Dynamics of Tidal Inlets held at Woods Hole, MA, presents the reader with an overview of contemporary research on these important features. The coverage includes: - mathematical modelling, including a review of inlet hydrodynamics, - observations on hydrodynamics, - sedimentology and morphology, - tidal deltas, - processes and policies pertaining to sedimentation, and the - impacts of shore protection and dredging in beaches.
