Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offset coastal inlets are common on the coasts of New England and the northern Gulf of Alaska. In both areas, the dominant waves approach the shore at an oblique angle, resulting in a strong net littoral drift. The most common type of offset on these coasts is a downdrift offset (i.e., the downdrift side of the inlet protrudes further seaward than the updrift side). Wave refraction around the ebb-tidal deltas at the inlets is an important process in the formation of the downdrift offsets, inasmuch as it creates a local reversal in drift direction just downdrift of the inlet, and allows sediment to accumulate there. Forms of sediment accumulation in the beach zone include ridge-and-runnel systems, berms, a multiplicity of types of nearshore bars, cusp-type sand waves (or rhythmic topography), complex sand bodies affiliated with ebb-tidal deltas, and an ordered system of minor features (bedforms) that correlate with flow-regime conditions. Most sand beaches undergo a simple cycle of erosion and deposition in response to the passage of coastal storms. (Author).

Download or read book Stability of Tidal Inlets written by P. Bruun and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estuarine Research, Volume II: Geology and Engineering contains the papers presented at the 1973 Second International Estuarine Research Conference, held by the Federation at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This volume is organized into two parts encompassing 35 chapters. It provides publications on geology, with collections on Estuaries with Small Tidal Ranges, Intermediate Tidal Ranges, and Large Tidal Ranges, and an additional section on Wide-Mouthed Estuaries. This text also includes materials on Engineering, with emphasis on Use of Vegetation in Coastal Engineering and on Estuarine Dredging Problems and Effects. This book will prove useful to estuarine biologists and ocean scientists.
