Synopsis

Understand how coastlines change with waves, storms, and structures
Explore a focused literature survey on mathematical models of shoreline evolution. This edition highlights practical numerical methods for predicting shoreline change thanks to wave action, currents, and shoreline structures, with emphasis on long-term trends relevant to coastal design.

The book provides a clear overview of key theories, from the Pelnard-Considere framework to Bakker’s two-line model, and examines how wave diffraction and onshore-offshore transport shape shorelines near groins and headlands. It emphasizes engineering applicability, data needs, and the limitations of early, idealized approaches, offering a path toward flexible, usable modeling for coastal projects.

• Grounded explanations of long-term shoreline evolution and the role of waves and currents


• Fairly practical discussion of numerical schemes that engineers can apply


• Insights into how structures like groins and breakwaters influence sediment transport


• Review of how diffusion, diffraction, and two-line theories interact to predict changes

Ideal for engineers, researchers, and planners seeking a rigorous, accessible introduction to coastal morphodynamics.
