This book was released on 2007 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the STWAVE/GENESIS modeling, the SBEACH modeling, and the related technical analysis that the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory has provided the U.S. Army Engineer District, Galveston, in support of their feasibility project: Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay, Texas Shoreline Erosion Feasibility Study. The main goal of this effort has been to set up and calibrate the numerical models so that they can provide a predictive capability that will be used to objectively evaluate alternative measures for beach restoration/protection projects within the study area. The predictive capabilities address both long-term performance, evaluated using GENESIS, and short-term storm-induced performance, evaluated using SBEACH. The setup of the GENESIS model proved to be particularly challenging. As had been found by previous researchers, the use of standard procedures led to the model's prediction of an unrealistic net sediment transport direction on Galveston Island. However, a careful analysis of the important forcing functions, particularly the effects of the local wind field, led to the development of an appropriate alternative procedure which produced GENESIS results in agreement with observations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Proceedings contains over 260 papers on cutting-edge research presented at the eighth international Symposium on Coastal Sediment Processes, held May 11 - 15, 2015, in San Diego, California, USA. This technical specialty conference was devoted to promoting an interdisciplinary exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge among researchers in the fields of coastal engineering, geology, oceanography, and related disciplines, with the theme of Understanding and Working with Nature.Focusing on the physical aspects of the sediment processes in various coastal environments, this Proceedings provides findings from the latest research and newest engineering applications. Sessions covered a wide range of topics including barrier islands, beaches, climate and sea level, cohesive and noncohesive sediments, coastal bluffs, coastal marsh, dredged sediments, inlet and navigation channels, regional sediment management, river deltas, shore protection, tsunamis, and vegetation-sediment interaction. Several special sessions included: Relevant science for changing coastlines: A Tribute to Gary Griggs; North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study and post-super-storm Sandy work; long-term coastal evolution; barrier islands of Louisiana; sea-level rise and super storms in a warming world; predicting decadal coastal geomorphic evolution; and contrasting Pacific coastal behavior with El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), are also featured.

Birkemeier and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the feasibility of accounting for the processes of erosion and overwash in the determination of coastal high-hazard flood zones, or V-zones. Included in the report are discussions of the merits and limitations of existing theoretical, empirical, and parameterized models for predicting beach profile change and dune erosion. Also included are discussions of the variabil ity found in measured storm changes and an extensive review of the overwash literature. Of the models evaluated, two dune erosion models were found to produce reasonable dune erosion estimates. One model (Kriebel 1982) is based on the assumption of uniform energy dissipation in the surf zone and the concept of an equilibrium profile shape which responds to a rising water level by shifting upward and landward. The other model (Vellinga 1983) was developed from an extensive series of large scale physical model tests. Both of these models were evaluated using 14 profiles from four different storm events and found to produce comparable results. Of the two, the Kriebel model was found to be less demanding in terms of required input information (prestorm profile shape, storm surge height, etc.) and therefore easier to consistently apply. Used properly and in combination with historical data (aerial photographs and field surveys) and engineering judgment, these models can provide a consistent mechanism for the establishment of V-zones in areas prone to storm erosion.
