Popis: The Enshu Coast with about 75 km coastline, located about 160 km south of Tokyo and faced the Pacific Ocean, has been affected by strong waves, high storm surges and strong coastal evolution. To investigate the regional sediment transport and local shoreline response in the vicinity of Imagirguchi Inlet, a one-line numerical model of shoreline change combined with a 2D wave transformation model and inlet reservoir model was applied and compared with measurement data. The simulation area extended from west Tenryu River mouth to downdrift area of Imagireguchi Inlet (see Fig. 1). A 9-year time series of measured wave data at a station near the Tenryu River mouth were used as input data to the models. The simulated shoreline agreed well with the measurement shoreline, both the calibration and validation periods. The simulated longshore transport shows that the net sediment transport is highly decreased from both the sides of Imagirguchi Inlet to the inlet channel.
