دانلود کتاب Coastal Processes with Engineering Applications (Cambridge Ocean Technology Series)

The world's shorelines are geologic environments unique in their composition and the physical processes affecting them. Shoreline development is now causing a significant conflict with natural coastal processes. This text helps students understand these coastal processes and develop strategies to cope effectively with shoreline erosion. The book is organized in four parts: (1) an overview of coastal engineering, using case studies to illustrate problems; (2) hydrodynamics of the coastal zone, reviewing storm surges, water waves, and low frequency motions within the nearshore and surf zone; (3) coastal responses including equilibrium beach profiles and sediment transport; (4) applications such as erosion mitigation, beach nourishment, coastal armoring, tidal inlets, and shoreline management. Numerous home problems and references are key features.
