Reservoir Model of Ebb-Tidal Shoal Evolution and Sand Bypassing
Kraus N. 2000. Reservoir Model of Ebb-Tidal Shoal Evolution and Sand Bypassing. Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering. 126(3):305-313
A mathematical model is presented for calculating the change in volume and sand-bypassing rate at ebb-tidal shoals. Examples of extension of the model by numerical solution are given for a hypothetical case of mining of an ebb-tidal shoal and for an idealized case of bi-directional longshore sand transport, in which updrift and downdrift bypassing bars and attachment bars are generated.
