Study of Shelf Waves vs Sand Drift in NW Coast of Taiwan
Publication: Coastal Engineering 1988
Abstract
For the planning and design of harbor and coastal Engineering, most important affected factors are waves and Littoral drift.
This research deals with analysis of the measured waves and the budget of the beach material whether it is deposited or scoured in the North-western coast of Taiwan; and the relationship between wave energy and littoral transport rate. For processing this research the field Survey wave measurement, sand sampling, and echo sounding is necessitated. The objective of this research is to establish the model of waves and littoral transport budget. Therefore, the results of this research are planned to submit to the planning and design of harbor and coastal engineering works of the Taiwan west sandy coast.
