State of Knowledge on Measurement and Modeling of Coastal Overwash

Chantal Donnelly, +2 more
- 01 Jul 2006 - 
TL;DR: A critical review on the state of knowledge and calculation capability for coastal overwash is presented in this article, which covers general studies of overwash processes, studies from a geological perspective, physical modeling, field studies including measurements of washovers and related hydraulics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal and spatial scales of beach profile change, Duck, North Carolina

Magnus Larson, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1994 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an 11-year time series of high-resolution beach profile surveys made on an Atlantic Ocean beach was analyzed for spatial and temporal characteristics of beach profile change, including the morphodynamics of an inner and outer longshore bar, including depth to bar crest, bar height and length, and speed of bar movement onshore and offshore.

Total Longshore Sediment Transport Rate in the Surf Zone: Field Measurements and Empirical Predictions

Ping Wang, +2 more
- 13 Jan 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the longshore sediment transport rate by streamer traps at 29 locations along the southeast coast of the United States and the Gulf Coast of Florida and compared the measured results with published empirical formulas, most of which have been calibrated mainly by sediment tracer measurements made on the Pacific coast.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of cross-shore sediment transport at different spatial and temporal scales

Magnus Larson, +1 more
- 01 Aug 1995 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of compatible spatial and temporal scales for calculating sediment transport and morphology change is presented, and the main conclusion is that calculations at different scales can be related and reconciled if limitations in prediction of initial and boundary conditions and in the fluid forcing are recognized.

GENESIS: Generalized Model for Simulating Shoreline Change. Report 1. Technical Reference

Hans Hanson, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a numerical modeling system named GENESIS which is designed to simulate long-term shoreline change at coastal engineering projects as produced by spatial and temporal changes in longshore sand transport.
