Abstract
The main objective of this study is constructing a numerical model
to predict shoreline changes at coastal inlets, specially the Egyptian
coastal inlets at the northern coast. EL- Burullus inlet has been chosen as
an examp Ie for the Egyptian inlets.
A special set of wave data is prepared to simulate the wave
conditions on the Egyptian Northern coast. This set is checked using the
Raylight Probabilistic Distribution.
The model is divided into many parts. The first part calculates
wave refraction and breaking. The second part calculates the amount of
transported sediment due to the wave generated current by using the
CERC formula. Then, the shoreline changes are calculated using the finite
difference method.
The sensitivity of the model is checked for various variables.
Where, the wave height is the most important one.
Measured offsets of EL-Burullus shoreline are used to verify the
model.
Finally, the model is used to predict the shoreline at EL-Burullus
Wet III 2039. It is found that dredging the inlet regularly and
compensating the lost beach material caused by wave attack are the best
solutions to stabilize the shorelin
