    Description

    This book describes the latest developments in the hydrodynamics and morphodynamics of tidal inlets, with an emphasis on natural inlets. A review of morphological features and sand transport pathways is presented, followed by an overview of empirical relationships between inlet cross-sectional area, ebb delta volume, flood delta volume and tidal prism. Results of field observations and laboratory experiments are discussed and simple mathematical models are presented that calculate the inlet current and basin tide. The method to evaluate the cross-sectional stability of inlets, proposed by Escoffier, is reviewed, and is expanded, for the first time, to include double inlet systems. This volume is an ideal reference for coastal scientists, engineers and researchers, in the fields of coastal engineering, geomorphology, marine geology and oceanography.

    • Summarises and synthesizes new knowledge on the water motion and morphology of tidal inlets
    • Concepts of cross-sectional stability and location stability are explained, both of which are important for the design of new inlets and for the expansion, improvement and maintenance of existing inlets
    • Discusses misconceptions about the Escoffier Diagram

    Antarctic Science

    : Journal

    Antarctic Science provides a truly international forum for the broad spread of studies that increasingly characterise scientific research in the Antarctic. Whilst emphasising interdisciplinary work, the journal publishes papers from environmental management to biodiversity, from volcanoes to icebergs, and from oceanography to the upper atmosphere. No other journal covers such a wide range of Antarctic scientific studies. The journal attracts papers from all countries currently undertaking Antarctic research. It publishes both review and data papers with no limits on length, two-page short notes on technical developments and recent discoveries, and book reviews. These, together with an editorial discussing broader aspects of science, provide a rich and varied mixture of items to interest researchers in all areas of science. There are no page charges, or charges for colour, to authors publishing in the Journal. One issue each year is normally devoted to a specific theme or papers from a major meeting.

    Journal of Fluid Mechanics
    Journal of Fluid Mechanics

    : Journal

    Journal of Fluid Mechanics is the leading international journal in the field and is essential reading for all those concerned with developments in fluid mechanics. It publishes authoritative articles covering theoretical, computational and experimental investigations of all aspects of the mechanics of fluids. Each issue contains papers on both the fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, and their applications to other fields such as aeronautics, astrophysics, biology, chemical and mechanical engineering, hydraulics, meteorology, oceanography, geology, acoustics and combustion.The journal was founded in 1956 by George Batchelor, who was also its Editor until 1996 (with Keith Moffatt as co-Editor from 1966 to 1983). Since then the Editors have been David Crighton, Tim Pedley and Steve Davis. The current Editor is Grae Worster, assisted by Deputy Editors Paul Linden and Charles Meneveau. They are part of a team of Associate Editors who handle submissions autonomously. JFM does not impose page charges for regular publication. Optional inclusion of colour figures in the print edition is charged at a rate of £200 per figure. Accepted papers may be published under an open access license in exchange for an article processing charge of £1695/$2700.

    • J. van de Kreeke , University of Miami

      J. van de Kreeke is Emeritus Professor at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, where his research focused on coastal engineering and estuarine and nearshore hydrodynamics. He has published extensively on tidal inlets and is the editor of Physics of Shallow Estuaries and Bays (1986). In 2004, Professor van de Kreeke received the Bob Dean Coastal Research Award from the Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association for world-renowned research on tidal inlets.

    • R. L. Brouwer , Technische Universiteit Delft, The Netherlands

      R. L. Brouwer, while at Technische Universiteit Delft, The Netherlands, wrote both his MSc and PhD theses on the subject of cross-sectional stability of double inlet systems. He continued working on this subject as a postdoctoral fellow and at the same time did pioneering work in deploying drones for coastal and inlet research. He has published several papers on double inlet systems in refereed journals and conference proceedings. Presently, he is employed as a senior researcher at Flanders Hydraulic Research in Antwerp, Belgium.
