Macro-Meso Tidal Beach Morphodynamics: An Overview

TL;DR: A review of the literature reveals a considerable range in macro-tidal beach morphology and dynamics but with little perceived order in the range as mentioned in this paper, and identifies three types of macro tidal beaches.

Beach face and berm morphodynamics fronting a coastal lagoon

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model for berm morphodynamics is presented, based on sediment transport shape functions measured during the two modes of berm growth, i.e., vertical growth at spring tides or following significant beach cut due to substantial swash overtopping, and horizontal progradation at neap tides through the formation of a proto-berm located lower and further seaward of the principal berm.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship between wave action and beach profile characteristics

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a series of preliminary hydraulic model experiments carried out by the author prior to a model study of the behaviour of groynes in stabilising beaches are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laboratory study of scale effects in two-dimensional beach processes

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of wave height and sediment size on the shore line movement and equilibrium beach profiles are discussed based on the results of experiments made by the authors and other experiments with smaller and larger scales by some researchers.

The submarine equilibrium profile: a physical model

TL;DR: In this article, a series of physical equilibrium conditions, including the major mechanical forces involved in particle movement, are used to derive an analytical model, where x is a function of y, in relation with the offshore wave period (or wave length).
