Coasts And Estuaries Management And Engineering - SUNDAR V

Coastlines, Like Many Things Around Us, Are Constantly Evolving. Keeping Pace With The Changes And Their Development Is Necessary To Ensure Their Stability And To Maintain Eco-equilibrium For Nearshore Hydrodynamics And Morphodynamics. Supported With Field Measurements For Model Validation, Several Numerical And Analytical Tools Are Available To Us To Understand The Physical Processes In The Vicinity Of These Water Bodies.this Book Encompasses The Engineering Principles Involved In Field Data Observation, Measurement, Collection, And Processing; The Prediction Of Wave Climate And Sediment Transport Using Measured Field Data; Numerical Modelling Involving Calibration And Validation Of The Hydrodynamic And Morphodynamic Processes; And The Study Of The Underlying Physical Processes And The Application Of Sustainable Engineering Measures To Combat Coast- And Estuary-related Problems.the Book Has Three Sections: The First Section Is An Elaboration On The Need For And Framework Of The Existing Management And Engineering Notions.
