Download Application of the Dutch Method for Estimating Storm-induced Dune Erosion Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Delft Hydraulics Laboratory of the Netherlands has developed a reasonable and simple method for estimating dune and beach erosion caused by severe storms. The method requires knowledge of the sediment size, wave height, and surge level. Major assumptions are that the expected shape of the poststorm beach profile can be perdicted by the incident deepwater wave height and sediment size, and that the amount of material eroded will equal the deposition (i.e., cross-shore transport). The method has been verified for the Dutch coast based on both field measurements and laboratory experiments. An evaluation using a limited amount of data for the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States found quantitative agreement with the method, justifying its application to storm conditions in the United States. This report discusses the method and identifies its inherent limitations. The procedure may be solved graphically or by using the included FORTRAN computer program.

Download Feasibility Study of Quantitative Erosion Models for Use by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the Prediction of Coastal Flooding Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This report examines the feasibility of accounting for the processes of erosion and overwash in the determination of coastal high-hazard flood zones, or V-zones. Included in the report are discussions of the merits and limitations of existing theoretical, empirical, and parameterized models for predicting beach profile change and dune erosion. Also included are discussions of the variabil ity found in measured storm changes and an extensive review of the overwash literature. Of the models evaluated, two dune erosion models were found to produce reasonable dune erosion estimates. One model (Kriebel 1982) is based on the assumption of uniform energy dissipation in the surf zone and the concept of an equilibrium profile shape which responds to a rising water level by shifting upward and landward. The other model (Vellinga 1983) was developed from an extensive series of large scale physical model tests. Both of these models were evaluated using 14 profiles from four different storm events and found to produce comparable results. Of the two, the Kriebel model was found to be less demanding in terms of required input information (prestorm profile shape, storm surge height, etc.) and therefore easier to consistently apply. Used properly and in combination with historical data (aerial photographs and field surveys) and engineering judgment, these models can provide a consistent mechanism for the establishment of V-zones in areas prone to storm erosion.

Download Dune Erosion During Storm Surges Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Because large parts of The Netherlands lie below sea level and are largely protected from flooding by a narrow strip of sandy beaches and dunes, optimal management of this coastal strip is of vital importance. This work extends the existing knowledge of dune erosion during storm surges as it occurs along the Dutch coast. Among the areas discussed are: a large scale erosion experiment designed to improve insight into near dune hydrodynamics, sediment transport and interaction between dune face and swash zone; detailed modeling to study dune erosion physics, validated against measurements, and a morphodynamic dune erosion model applied in a variety of dune erosion conditions. This publication represents a valuable contribution to an improved understanding of dune erosion, an increasingly important area of study with regard to climate change and rising sea levels.
