Morphodynamics of tidal inlet systems
HE De Swart, JTF Zimmerman - Annual review of fluid …, 2009 - annualreviews.org
In this review we discuss the morphodynamics of tidal inlet systems that are typical of barrier
coasts formed during a period of continuous sea-level rise during the Holocene. The …

Modelled channel patterns in a schematized tidal inlet
Tidal inlets in the Dutch Wadden Sea show typical morphological features, ie westward
oriented main inlet channel and ebb-tidal delta. The objective of this study is to find the …

Models of deltaic and inner continental shelf landform evolution
S Fagherazzi, I Overeem - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2007 - annualreviews.org
The morphology of passive continental shelves is dictated by the input of sediments from
rivers and their redistribution by waves, currents, and gravity-driven flows. The pathways …

Process-based 2DH morphodynamic modeling of tidal inlets: A comparison with empirical classifications and theories
The economical and ecological importance of tidal inlets has fostered the development of
empirical tools for inlet management during the last century. This study aims at confronting …

Tidal and subtidal hydrodynamics and energetics in a constricted estuary
The dynamics of coastal plain estuaries are mainly associated with variable tidal forcing and
local winds in combination with bathymetric complexity and coastline irregularity. Specific …

Net sediment transport in tidal basins: quantifying the tidal barotropic mechanisms in a unified framework
VM Gatto, BC van Prooijen, ZB Wang - Ocean Dynamics, 2017 - Springer
Net sediment transport in tidal basins is a subtle imbalance between large fluxes produced
by the flood/ebb alternation. The imbalance arises from several mechanisms of suspended …

Three-dimensional numerical modeling of deltas
Deltaic systems are controlled by a complex interaction of sediment supply, accommodation,
and coastal energy, each varying in time and space, making three-dimensional study …

Dynamics of a wave-dominated tidal inlet and influence on adjacent beaches, Currumbin Creek, Gold Coast, Australia
Currumbin Creek on the Australian Gold Coast is a wave-dominated tidal inlet which
exhibits a particularly active morphology. The recent history of Currumbin Creek entrance …

Cyclic channel-shoal dynamics at the Ameland inlet: The impact on waves, tides, and sediment transport
Ebb-tidal deltas are shallow features seaward of tidal inlets, acting as a wave filter for the
nearby barrier island and a source of sediment for the landward tidal basin. On many ebb …
