Reevaluation of Equilibrium Beach Profile Scale Parameter
Publication: Coastal Sediments '07
Abstract
A modification of the equilibrium beach profile scale parameter is proposed to account for wave effects. The modification is expressed in terms of a multiplication factor applied to the profile scale parameter and considered to be a function of the fall velocity parameter. The recommended modification is based on large-scale wave flume tests. The differences between summer and winter profiles in nature can be explained qualitatively by the proposed model and the application of the model to predict seasonal shoreline changes is promising.
