Seawall Constraint in Shoreline Numerical Model
Publication: Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 6
Abstract
A method is given for representing the action of a seawall in the 1-line numerical model of shoreline evolution. The method involves restriction of the shoreline position and adjustment of the longshore sand transport rate so as to conserve sand volume and preserve direction of transport. Sample calculations are presented, and the results are in accord with experience.
