Comment:
we have also offshore harbours which are connected
to the shoreline by single long breakwater

Sedimentation, various scenarios
OCDI, 2002
How sand deposits at SMB port entrance?
More depth; no wave breaking, no much reflection, no more sed. suspension see
No more radiation stress gradient, step-geometry, no more high current velocity see
Oscillating wave current towards the lee of breakwater, where is calm see
Stokes drift in wave direction towards the lee of breakwater (by diffractn-refractn) see
Interaction of sand and SMB harbour
Accretion at upstream shoreline
Erosion at downstream shoreline
Sand reaches the harbour entrance after years (small port or large?)
Natural bypass & deposition in access channel or entrance
Sand bar development in front of harbour entrance see
To be considered for SMB layout
Entrance inside surf-zone or outside? see
It is part of session 14
How sand moves forward?

sand deposition at port entrance
deeper zone
no wave breaking
no more sand suspension force
Deposition of suspended sand
Back to presentation
sand deposition at port entrance
deeper zone
Wave breaking no wave breaking
makes radiation stress gradient no more radiation stress gradient
which generates long-shore current no more current force
step-like geometry
current divergence and weakening
Back to presentation
sand deposition at port entrance
Suspended sediment moves back and force
by the periodic current of wave
it acts as diffusion
The back & force movement
of current under wave,
brings suspended sediment
to the calm area behind brkwtr

sand deposition at port entrance
Stokes drift
moves sand in wave direction.
After storm;
Wave direction turns towards
sand bar moves back towards
the lee of breakwater
shoreline by Stokes drift
by diffraction
and also by refraction
