Influence of Wave Shape on Sediment Transport in Coastal Regions

Ostrowski R.

Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

2018

Vol. 65, nr 2

73--90

The paper deals with the influence of the wave shape, represented by water surface elevations and wave-induced nearbed velocities, on sediment transport under joint wave-current impact. The focus is on the theoretical description of vertically asymmetric wave motion and the effects of wave asymmetry on net sediment transport rates during interaction of coastal steady currents, namely wave-driven currents, with wave-induced unsteady free stream velocities. The cross-shore sediment transport is shown to depend on wave asymmetry not only quantitatively (in terms of rate), but also qualitatively (in terms of direction).Within longshore lithodynamics, wave asymmetry appears to have a significant effect on the net sediment transport rate.

On Uncertainties in Determination of Sediment Transport Rates in Coastal Regions

Ostrowski R.

Archives of Hydro-Engineering and Environmental Mechanics

2016

Vol. 63, nr 4

265--280

The paper deals with research uncertainties, difficulties, inaccuracies and unreliabilities related to the modelling of physical phenomena involving coastal lithodynamics. The considerations are focused on processes of wave transformation, wave-driven currents and sediment transport itself. It is shown that possible inaccuracies at individual stages of the modelling of coastal hydrodynamics can lead to serious uncertainties with respect to the ultimate modelling output, namely bed shear stresses and sediment transport rates. These inaccuracies result mostly from arbitrarily assumed parameters and constants. Other modelling biases discussed in the paper comprise simplifications and approximations with respect to sediment resources and size-graded properties, randomness of hydrodynamic impacts, bottom roughness and land-borne factors involved in coastal lithodynamics.
