Variability of Hydrodynamic and Lithodynamic Coastal Processes in the East Part of the Gulf of Gda«sk

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented new findings concerning motion of water and sediment in the coastal zone of the east part of the Gulf of Gda«sk, from the Vistula River mouth at ewibno (Poland) to Cape Taran (Russia, Kaliningrad Oblast).

Sediment transport in the coastal zone

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided basic information on the description of sediment transport in the coastal zone of the sea and explained the mechanisms of sediment movement under the influence of the waves and currents interactions.

Sediment transport modelling for coastal morphodynamics.

TL;DR: In this article, Bijker's model has been implemented within the TELEMAC Modelling System to predict the longshore sand transport rate, and results corresponding to wide ranges of wave and current conditions are obtained based upon both prescribed and predicted values for ks.

Evaluating the impact of dredging strategies at tidal inlets: Performance assessment.

TL;DR: The shoal removal, which is a new soft-engineering strategy, is found to be the most efficient to improve the navigational channel operativity, defined as the percentage of navigable hours per year for different vessel drafts; this operativity improves up to 60% compared to the other strategies.

Spatial and temporal variability of longshore transport along gold coast, australia

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the spatial and temporal variability of longshore transport potential for a 35km stretch of sandy coastline on the east coast of Australia using a 25-year data set.
