When the wave approaches to coast, the wave steepness, which is the ratio of wave height to water depth increases due to depth re-duction. This increase continues to a certain extent, until finally at this limit, the wave breaks. Wave breaking results in t ...
A numerical study was conducted to investigate the influence of tides on the fate of terrestrially-derived BTEX discharging through an unconfined aquifer to coastal waters. Previous studies have revealed that tide-induced seawater circulations create an ac ...
On permeable beaches, tides and waves lead to an upper saline plume underneath the beach face in addition to the saltwater wedge. The transport and fate of land-derived chemicals depend on process dynamics at the land-sea interface, which can be examined u ...
Shore protection in confined water bodies is of major importance in Switzerland where many lakes suffer severe shore erosion. It occurs mainly in shallow zones due to several reasons such as: the fluctuations of the water level , the wind-wave impact durin ...
The discovery of oiled and non-oiled honeycomb material in the Gulf of Mexico surface waters and along coastal beaches shortly after the explosion of Deepwater Horizon sparked debate about its origin and the oil covering it. We show that the unknown pieces ...
Quantifying the interaction of the atmosphere and water surfaces is of great importance for water resources management, climate studies of ocean-atmosphere exchange and regional climate in coastal areas. Atmospheric dynamics over water surfaces have genera ...
The interactions between fluid and sediment in the swash zone dominate the erosion or accretion of the beach, and they act as boundary conditions for nearshore hydrodynamic and morphodynamic models. Thus, the evaluation of sediment transport is of particul ...
The prediction of watertable fluctuations in a coastal aquifer is important for coastal management. However, most previous approaches have based on the one-dimensional Boussinesq equation, neglecting variations in the coastline and beach slope. In this pap ...
Wave and tide are important forcing factors that typically co-exist in coastal environments. A numerical study was conducted to investigate individual and combined effects of these forces on flow and mixing processes in a near-shore subterranean estuary. A ...
An important task for coastal engineers is to predict the sediment transport rates in coastal regions with correct estimation of this transport rate, it is possible to predict both natural morphological or beach morphology changes and the influence of coas ...
