Abstract

In this paper an improved bulk formulation for the longshore sediment transport rate is presented. It is based on a simplified hydrodynamic analysis of surf zone flow and supplemented by an exhaustive dimensional analysis. The proposed model includes the effect of the surf zone dynamic state (e.g. variation of longshore sand transport, II, with breaker type) and it is now being used in the one- and twoline shoreline evolution models developed by the Maritime Engineering Laboratory in Barcelona.
