Stability of Tidal Inlets: Use of Hydraulic Pressure for Channel and Bypassing Stability
Bruun P and Adams J. 1988. Stability of Tidal Inlets: Use of Hydraulic Pressure for Channel and Bypassing Stability. Journal of Coastal Research (JCR). 4(4):687-701
This paper reviews briefly existing procedures and methods of channel stabilization and bypassing. The objective in all cases is to achieve an even, non-interrupted stability of the channel in its full length and a reliable, continuous and economical bypassing which retains an essential part of the longshore drift material. Modulation of inlet sub-bottom hydraulic pressures are shown to increase bed load transport, to create major offshore traps, and to transport sand by fluidization to bypassing pumps.
