ABSTRACTSince the late eighties a huge effort has been put into the development of coastal morphological models. The morphological models have now reached a stage where they are useful tools in the process of design of ports, harbours, beach parks and other structures in the coastal zone. The paper will illustrate the present state-of-the-art through a number of practical examples. These examples will concentrate on the optimisation of harbour layouts on sandy beaches with regard to natural by-pass and minimisation of sedimentation. The use of the computational fluid dynamics technique to study details around harbour entrances will be presented and the potential of this technique will be discussed. Furthermore, examples of successful beach restoration projects will be presented. The key to success for these projects has been to develop schemes, which utilise the natural possibilities on the specific site. |
