Introduction

Flow and sediment transport in the coastal zone are important in relation to several engineering topics like sedimentation and erosion around structures, backfilling of dredged channels, changes in near -shore morphology and long- and cross-shore sediment transport rates. During the last decade the development in coastal sediment transport research has changed from simple phenomenological descriptions to sophisticated numerical models in which the flow as well as the resulting sediment transport are described in detail. The longshore sediment transport calculations can be mentioned as an example. For many years these have been based on the so-called CERC formula (see p 329 ), which relates the longshore sediment rate to the longshore wave energy flux. Today it is recognized that such a simple model which does not include essential parameters like sediment grain size and bed morphology (for instance the presence of bars ) does not give a full description of the complex problem of longshore sediment transport . On the other hand , more sophisticated methods like those described in this book often get very sensitive to variations in the input data , like the mean grain size. The cause might be that the cross -shore profile also varies with the sediment properties , and thus a longshore sediment transport calculation can not be made except with a fully three-dimensional model including grain sorting , a stage which until now has not been reached in the numerical modelling. Another example of the development in coastal sediment transport modelling is the cross - shore profile modelling . Formerly, the average cross-shore profile was described by empirical rules ( Bruun, Dean, see p 322 ), while the trend today is towards describing the on - offshore flow pattern as accurately as possible and then step by step describing the dynamic behaviour of the cross-shore profile by morphological computations . Like the longshore sediment transport calculation, this problem is not completely solved yet - particularly the resulting direction of sediment transport outside the surf zone and the detailed morphology of the bars which must be investigated much more thoroughly.

x Introduction

The purpose of the present book is to describe both the basic hydrodynamics and the basic sediment transport mechanisms which are of importance for the construction of a mathematical model for sediment transport in coastal areas. The main effort has been to describe the hydrodynamics as is usual in sediment transport description. The first six Chapters deal only with the hydrodynamics of waves and current in and outside the surf zone.

The reader's background should be a basic course both in wave hydrodynamics and in fluid mechanics (laminar and turbulent flow). The basic elements of wave hydrodynamics is consequently therefore only briefly listed in the introductory Chapter 1. Chapters 2 and 3 treat the turbulence made by non-breaking waves with and without the presence of a current. During the last decade significant progress has been made in this field, and today very accurate solutions can be obtained. However, these very accurate solutions are also very time-consuming and costly to compute, and it is not feasible today to introduce them in a numerical model of coastal sediment transport. Simpler as well as more advanced solutions to the wave boundary layer problem have therefore been described, from which the bed shear stress in combined wave-current motion can be obtained very accurately. Some of the simpler models are described quite in detail, so students should be able to work with these models on a PC. Chapters 4-6 deal with aspects of surf zone hydrodynamics that are important for the sediment transport. Wave kinematics is described, including the strong production of turbulence in the surf zone which will have to be included in a detailed sediment transport model. The depth-integrated wave-driven currents are treated for more or less complicated situations on uniform coastal profiles, that can be represented by a simple computer model. Furthermore, the flow over complex three-dimensional topographies like rip channels is described. The vertical distribution of the forces from breaking and broken waves is described in detail. This has been applied to model the circulation current (undertow) in the surf zone which is of major importance for cross-shore sediment transport. In Chapter 7 the sediment transport description starts with the basic concepts . The number of sediment transport formulae in current as well as in combined wave-current motion is very large today and rapidly growing. Many of these transport formulae are more or less empirical in their nature, and a simple deterministic description of sediment transport is still not available. In Chapter 7 an attempt is made to describe the construction of a simple transport formula for the bed load case, and some suggestions for the description of sediment transport at higher shear stresses are included as well. However, the sediment transport in the sheet flow layer as well as the bed concentration of suspended sediment are topics which still need to be investigated in more detail. Chapter 8 describes the behaviour of suspended sediment in waves. While the bed load even in this unsteady case usually can be calculated as the quasi-steady value from the instantaneous value of shear stress , the behaviour of suspended sediment gets quite complicated in the wave case due to the increase and decrease in turbulence intensity. Chapters 9 and 10 concern bed waves, which are of major importance for

the bed shear stress and for the transport of suspended sediment. The description again takes its starting point in the pure current case and extends these findings to the wave case as well. Finally, the last two Chapters 11 and 12 describe the construction of models which can describe long- and cross-shore sediment transport. It is not the intention of the book to give a broad review of the literature on this very wide topic. The structure of the book is more like a monograph where the subjects have been treated so much in detail that the book would be applicable as a student textbook. As a help for further reading on the subject, a section with additional references has been included at the end of the book. The list is far from being complete but should provide students with a good basis for an in-depth study. We would like to acknowledge the encouragement from Professor P.L.-F. Liu to make the book. Our Librarian Kirsten Djorup and Tom Foster, the Danish Hydraulic Institute, have tried to improve our written English. The book has been typewritten in TtX by Hildur Juncker and the drawings are produced by Eva Vermehren. Erik Asp Hansen, Danish Hydraulic Institute, has produced the figure for the front cover, and Julio Zyserman, Danish Hydraulic Institute, has been very helpful in constructing several figures in the book.

Finally we would like to thank the Danish Technical Council (STVF) for their large support to the field of Coastal Engineering in Denmark. This support has created a scientific environment which has made this book possible.

The main symbols used are listed below. Due to the large number of parameters, which stem from different disciplines of hydrodynamics, it has been decided to use double symbols. In most cases their use is restricted to a single chapter as stated in the symbol list. It should be easy to distinguish between these parameters from the context they are used in.
