Transport Analysis

Breaking wave near beaches is the main force to generate longshore currents, which moved the sediment at surrounding area. Due to its negative outcome, which are erosion and sedimentation, the need of longshore sediment transport analysis become very important. One of the tools for solving that problem is by using coastal protection structure such as permeable groin. Permeable groin may reduce the rate of longshore sediment transport respectively by changing the level of permeability of the groin itself. The objective of this research was to obtain analytical results of the longshore sediment transport reduction analysis by using permeable groins at Tanjung Bayang Beach of South Sulawesi. Reduction of sediment transport along the beach was analyzed by calculating reduction coefficient, which is the ratio between the longshore current before and after hitting the permeable groins. The result showed that with 40% of permeability, the groin can reduced longshore sediment transport at Tanjung Bayang Beach for almost 50%; from 341.37x103 m3/year to 170.68x103 m3/year.

The Cross

Existing models for longshore sediment transport rate computations assume the sediment grain size and grain sizerelated parameters to be uniform in both the cross-shore and longshore directions. Field results from tideless beaches, which are briefly described in the paper, show that the latter change in both directions due to changing wave energylevels. The sensitivity analysis described in the paper shows that both longshore current and transport rate computations are sensitive to the cross-shore changes in grain size.Finally, a modified linearity coefficient for the wave power equation is proposed based upon the cross-shore distributions of grain size as found in nature.

Longshore Sediment Transport

The distributions of longshore and on-offshore sediment transport rates in a surf zone were measured by an apparatus which was able to separately record both components of the sediment transport rate,, The characteristics of their distributions were discussed from the bottom shear stresses which were measured by the shear meter under the same wave conditions as the laboratory experiment of the sediment transport. The maximum bottom shear stress took place at the depth between the breaking depth of waves and the depth where the velocity of the longshore current showed a maximum. On the other hand, the maximum on-offshore and longshore sediment transport rates occured at the depth slightly shallower than the depth where the maximum bottom shear stress took place. What's more, the longshore sediment transport rates were represented by the longshore current velocity and the bottom shear stress generated by waves and the longshore current. However, the distribution of the on-offshore sediment transport rates showed more complicated profile than that of the longshore sediment transport rates because there were no eminent unidirectional flow in the direction normal to the shore line. Therefore, the on-offshore sediment transport rates could not be formulated by the bottom shear stresses.

Equilibrium Profile

The longshore current and longshore sediment transport distributions are described across an equilibrium beach profile comprised of an intersecting planar foreshore and a concave-up profile. Such a profile shape avoids the singularity associated with the infinite-slope at the shoreline described by traditional equilibrium profile forms and allows prediction of beach processes at and above the shoreline. The mathematical expressions which describe the distributions are simplified and can be more readily applied relative to expressions previously presented in the literature. The findings are in general agreement with similar previous analytic studies and indicate that the current and transport maxima are generally located at about the intersection of the planar and concave-up portions of the profile.

Natural beaches exhibit an equilibrium profile that is planar nearshore and non-planar, concave-up offshore. The longshore current on these Dean equilibrium beaches is shown to depend on the location of the intersection between the planar and non-planar profiles and on the dimensionless mixing strength parameter if the eddy viscosity coefficient is linearly dependent on the distance offshore. The effect of the profile intersection on the longshore sediment transport rate is demonstrated for two energetics based sediment transport models; viz. the Bagnold and energetics stress models.

Longshore Transport

Analysis of longshore transport at a littoral barrier is presented. Channel Islands Harbor, California was selected as the study site because its offshore breakwater and jetties form a unique complete littoral barrier. Through repetitive surveys an accurate determination of longshore material transport in one direction was made. Measured transport rates ranged from 160,000 to 1,284,000 cubic meters per year. Utilizing visual observations of surf parameters, estimates of longshore wave thrust were computed. The range of wave thrust was 145 to 1,988 Newtons per meter. Comparison of the relation of wave thrust and longshore sediment transport is made. This study indicates that in an environment of high transport, nearly twice as much transport is predicted tinder corresponding wave thrust as that of the data summarized in the Coastal Engineering Research Center's Shore Protection Manual.
