Mechanics of Coastal Sediment Transport, Fredsøe

Mechanics of Coastal Sediment Transport by Jørgen Fredsøe offers the topic of sediment transport in the marine atmosphere by covering transportation of non cohesive sediment by waves and currents in- and outdoors the surf zone. It can be study independently, but a history in hydraulics and basic wave mechanics is required.

The main purpose of Mechanics of Coastal Sediment Transport is to describe the physical processes of sediment transportation and tips on how to symbolize them in mathematical models. The book can be divided in two key elements; in the initially, the related hydrodynamic theory is explained. This element contains a evaluation of elementary concept for water waves, chapters on the turbulent wave boundary layer and also the turbulent interaction between waves and currents, and lastly, surf zone hydrodynamics and wave driven currents.

The 2nd part addresses sediment transportation and morphological growth. The portion on sediment transportation introduces the basic concepts (critical mattress shear pressure, bed load, suspended load and sheet layer, near-bed focus, impact of sloping bed); it treats suspended sediment in waves and current and in the surf zone, and present and wave-generated mattress types.

Finally, the modeling of cross-shore and long-shore sediment transport is explained together with all the growth of coastal profiles and coastlines. Mechanics of Coastal Sediment Transport is hugely advised to study for coastal, civil engineers and practitioners.
