{"product_id":"9789814449229","title":"Coastal Dynamics","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur world is constantly changing, governed by continuity, dynamic interactions and boundary conditions. For many coasts, the common denominators contributing to these changes are sand, waves, tides, salt gradients, and human interaction, all themes that are treated in this valuable textbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfining itself to essentials, the coverage reflects centuries of theoretical and practical knowledge of Dutch coastal engineers. Focussing, where applicable, on linear theory, the book shows how the essentials of local coastal behavior can be reproduced and predicted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dutch Coast: A Coastal Engineering View:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 Years of Beach Measurements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jarkus Measurements (Holland Coast)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSand Transport by Waves and Tides (Uninterrupted Coast)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTides, Shaping a Coast: Lessons from Van Veen and Other Old Masters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChanges of the Zealand coast by Man and Nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLine Theories in Coastal Dynamics:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Line Theory, No Diffraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-Line Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore-Line Theories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymbols Concerning Chapter 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDetermination of Coastal Constants:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Considerations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalculation of Coastal Constants from Hindcasting of Field Data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputation of Coastal Constants in Longshore Direction from theWave Climate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocussing on cross-shore interaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymbols Concerning Chapter 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eExperimental Verification:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperiments in Laboratories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResults of Groin Application in Nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eValuation of the One- and Two-line Model:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemarks on the Sand Transport Mechanism Assumed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffect of Variable Wave Conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects of Groins as Result of the One- and Two-line Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eInteraction Between Outer Delta's and Tidal Basins:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMomentaneous velocities: Linear Tidal Hydraulics.
