Dominic Reeve: Beach Planshape Modelling, Gebunden

Klappentext

Beach Planshape Modelling summarises the theory, solution methods, and applications of what has become known as the 1line beach model, whereby changes in the planform shape of a beach can be described by the movement of a single height contour. This effectively describes shoreline response to interventions such as the construction of groynes and beach nourishment. This book covers the underlying theory; analytical solutions to the equations for restricted cases; semianalytical methods for less restricted cases; computational methods for more general situations; applications to specific sites, with a focus on the 'tricks of the trade' that allow complicated cases to be modelled; extensions of the 1line method to find parameters from observations; and a discussion of uncertainties in the results of predictions. It provides reallife applications and guidance for creating a realistic and effective model for use in line with the commercial GENESIS/GENCADE beach modelling package.
