About the Book

Computer models now provide an efficient and economic tool for the analysis of coastal engineering problems. In particular, they are increasingly being used in conjunction with measuring techniques to determine the extent of environmental problems and to take action when a disaster occurs, determining its extent and consequence, and optimizing available resources. Featuring the most recent advances in the field, this book contains papers presented at the Fifth International Conference on Computer Modelling of Seas and Coastal Regions. The contributions come from scientists working in many different countries, and span a multitude of topics and techniques in such areas as coastal erosion, sediment transport, coastal evolution and environment, coastal lakes and lagoons, harbours and marinas, shallow water tidal models, wave studies, pollution studies and coastal risk.

Table of Contents:
Section 1: Coastal erosion On the splitting of the sediment fluxes balance: a new formulation for the sand waves equation; Solving a harbour sedimentation problem in Yemen; On preferable location of a dewatering system in a sandy beach. Section 2: Sediment transport Securing manoeuverability of a deep draft ship in a sediment oaded tidal river berth; Prediction of suspended fine-sediment concentration and siltation at Kapar coastal region in Malaysia. Section 3: Coastal evolution and environment Stochastic prediction of long-term coastal evolution; A modular aquaculture modelling system (MAMS) and its application to the Broughton Archipelago, British Columbia (BC). Section 4: Coastal lakes and lagoons Water budget in coastal brackish lagoons; Eutrophication of the shallow Szczecin Lagoon (Baltic Sea): modelling, management and the impact of weather. Section 5: Harbours and marinas Water waves in harbour areas: appreciation of open boundary conditions; Breakwater overtopping under wave spectra conditions prevailing in the Adriatic Sea; Particle tracking velocimetry measurements to assess the performance of flow control structures. Section 6: Shallow water tidal models Atmospheric forcing impact study in M?t?o-France storm surge model; Wave directionality in shallow water; Comparing interpolation methods for processing randomly scattered bathymetric data; Numerical modelling of shallow water using an iterative solution algorithm; Section 7: Wave studies Numerical modeling of refraction and diffraction; An efficient finite element technique for water wave modelling; Wave load and wave propagation over forelands; Numerical study on breaking indices for solitary wave on slopes; A set of fully nonlinear equations for surface and internal gravity waves; Stability of low crested rubble mound breakwaters under wave attack. Section 8: Pollution studies Designation as sensitive area or vulnerable zone to pollution from urban waters of a marine reserve; Finite element techniques for water quality models; Atmospheric forcing impact in MOTHY oil drift model. Section 9: Coastal risk Assessment of erosion and wave risk over coastal areas; Airborne laser mapping of coastal topography and inshore bathymetry; Return periods of summer-time sea storms in the central Mediterranean Sea; The influence of freshwater distribution on SPM transport in the Dutch coastal zone.
