▼ Ocean entrances to coastal lagoons are a complex, sensitive and important component of the coastal environment. They provide estuarine water exchange between inland waterways and the open ocean, and are increasingly the focus of urban development. Coastal lagoons that are only intermittently connected to the ocean are particularly sensitive since during periods of closure water quality issues are exacerbated, along with the increased risk of flooding.Mechanical clearance was undertaken in 2006 at the ocean entrance to Narrabeen Lagoon, Sydney, Australia, which intermittently opens and closes with the ingress of marine sand into the entrance restricting water exchange between the estuary and the ocean. This `instantaneous reset' of the system provided a unique opportunity to monitor and quantify generic inlet sedimentation processes and mechanisms. An intensive data collection campaign was undertaken for two years following the clearance including video image data, hydrodynamic measurements and detailed morphological surveys of the lagoon entrance system.This data set was used to quantify the sediment ingress flux and pathways within the accreting flood-tide delta of the lagoon entrance. It was found that ingress of sand into the system proceeds via a rapid landward infilling process with the location of the divergence point of the flood
tidal current, available accommodation space within the entrance system and the influence of storm events being the key factors in the evolving morphodynamics of this type of coastal lagoon system.Classic inlet stability criteria were applied at the study site and it was found that the uncertainties in the determination of key parameters coupled with issues arising from compatibility of spatial and temporal scales preclude their use at this type of system. An alternative criterion is proposed which is an index of the tendency of an inlet toward instability and closure that is based on the evolution of the principle
tidal constituent.Potential impacts of climate change to intermittently open-closed coastal lagoons were investigated using a simple 1D numerical model. Results suggest that the opening duration can be anticipated to decrease, with sea level rise (rather than storm frequency/magnitude and longshore sediment supply) being the principle driver.

▼ The coastal zones in the vicinity of tidal inlets, which are commonly utilized for navigation, sand mining, waterfront developments, fishing and recreation, are under particularly high population pressure which will only be exacerbated by foreshadowed climate change (CC). Although a very few recent studies have investigated CC impacts on very large tidal inlet systems, the nature and magnitude of CC impacts on the more commonly found small tidal inlets (STIs) remain practically un-investigated to date. The combination of pre-dominant occurrence in developing countries, socio-economic relevance and low community resilience, general lack of data, and high sensitivity to seasonal forcing makes STIs potentially very vulnerable to CC impacts. This study was undertaken to develop methods and tools that can provide insights on potential CC impacts on STIs, and to demonstrate their application to assess these CC impacts. Two process based snap-shot modeling approaches for data poor and data rich environments are used to assess CC impacts and an innovative reduced complexity model is developed to obtain rapid predictions of CC impacts on the STI's stability. Results show that: STIs are unlikely to change their types, but their stability level is likely to change under CC impacts. The main driver for such changes in STI stability level is future variations in wave direction; not SLR as commonly thought.

▼ The importance of the persistence of multiple inlets in coastal systems is fundamental for
issues such as water quality, navigability, and beach/barrier stability. In long embayments, having
extended residence times, the stability of multiple inlets can be important for more efficient flushing
and water exchange between the embayment and the ocean.
Many approaches have been used to analyze inlet stability, but have focused on single
rather than multiple tidal inlet systems, relying solely on measured data to describe and predict
the behavior of tidal inlets and/or suggesting empirical stability relationships between inlet morphology
and inlet/bay hydrodynamics. At present, the only multiple tidal inlet stability model
available combines a linear analytical model for the flow and an empirical relationship for equilibrium,
suggesting that multiple inlet systems are unstable and ultimately all inlets will close or,
at best, one will remain open.
Focusing on shallow multiple tidal inlet systems and in particular on Ria Formosa, a shallow
coastal lagoon in the south of Portugal known to have maintained persistently multiple inlets
in a historical time scale, the morphodynamic and hydrodynamic response to disturbances in the
physical characteristics of the lagoon and inlets was studied through a) the analysis of historical
data of the region, b) the analysis of tidal data (velocity and water surface elevation) collected in
the study site, and c) through the numerical modeling of the system hydrodynamics under various
inlet scenarios (using RMA-2V, a vertically averaged finite element model), with emphasis on the
contribution of the hydrodynamic response (changes in tidal prism, residual discharge and current,
sediment transport capacity, tidal distortion, and cross-sectional averaged maximum velocity)
to maintain the multiple inlets open.
The model results show that multiple tidal inlet systems can exhibit stable inlet configurations,
and that the strong hydrodynamic interaction between inlets, as well as the non-linear
distortion of the tide, play a major role in multiple inlet persistence. Some of the results and findings
are specific to Ria Formosa, and others can be generalized and used to identify processes
contributing to stability in shallow systems with multiple inlets servicing a single embayment.

▼ The offshore tide becomes distorted as it propagates into shallow inlet/estuarine systems. Time asymmetries develop in the rise and fall of sea
surface with consequent time and magnitude asymmetries in tidal currents.
Flood-dominant estuaries are characterized by longer falling tides and
stronger flood currents while ebb-dominant estuaries have longer rising
tides and stronger ebb currents. The asymmetries are reflected in the non-linear
growth of harmonics and compound tides of the principal equilibrium
tidal constituents. This dissertation consists of three papers which
examine the development of tidal asymmetries in shallow estuarine systems:
a study of the recent migration history of Nauset Inlet (MA), a shallow
estuarine system located on Cape Cod; an analysis of the results of a series
of field experiments conducted at Nauset; a numerical model study of the
types of estuarine characteristics controlling tidal asymmetry. The analysis
of field results focuses on sea surface measurements. Non-linear
distortion of the tide at Nauset is characterized by the strong growth of
harmonics and compound constituents particularly in the quarter-diurnal
band. Phase relationships between the forced constituents and their parent
produce a flood-dominant estuary. Numerical modeling of M2 tidal propagation
in shallow estuarine channels utilizes the one-dimensional equations
of motion. Shallow, frictionally dominated channels with moderate tidal
flat area develop a flood-dominant asymmetry while deeper channels with
extensive tidal flats develop an ebb-dominant asymmetry. Model results
are supported by observations of tidal asymmetry in natural estuaries.
Implications of non-linear tidal distortion on bedload and suspended
material transport are profound. Flood-dominant estuaries tend to import
sediment if the supply is adequate whereas ebb-dominant estuaries can flush
entering sediment effectively. Over long time periods, flood-dominant
estuaries may eventually fill. Ebb-dominant estuaries may represent more
stable long-term configurations.

▼ I assessed the composition of zooplankton communities at the three
tidal inlets connecting Lake Pontchartrain to Lake Borgne and subsequently to the Gulf of Mexico. The objectives of my research were to better understand the factors contributing to both spatial and temporal differences in zooplankton communities at the three locations. Monthly samplings of the neuston were conducted from September 2009 until April 2011 and then again from September 2012 until May 2013. Sampling consisted of triplicate tows using SeaGear “Bongo” nets. Water quality data along with water turbidity were recorded at each site and during each sampling effort. All specimens collected during the survey were quantified and identified to the lowest taxonomical unit. The results indicated that there were significant differences among the aquatic invertebrate communities composition among the three sites groups averaged across months (ANOSIM, R= 0.162,
p = 0.001). The outcomes from this study could have strong implications for fisheries management and will provide a baseline for future research.

Na lagoa de Óbidos, as ondas e as correntes de maré induzem rápidas alterações morfológicas levando ao fecho da sua embocadura. As dragagens são frequentes tendo o objetivo de manter a laguna aberta e proteger as construções marginais. No entanto, o efeito das dragagens no comportamento da embocadura é um tema pouco estudado, especialmente o impacto que poderá ter a adição de canais transversais aos tradicionais canais dragados.
No interior desta laguna as ondas induzem alterações significativas nas condições hidrodinâmicas. Através da aplicação de um modelo acoplado constituído por um modelo hidrodinâmico e um modelo de agitação marítima concluiu-se que as elevações da superfície livre dentro da lagoa aumentaram para uma direcção média da onda perpendicular à linha de costa. Foi também investigado o impacto que a interacção completa entre ondas e correntes tem na dinâmica sedimentar da lagoa de Óbidos, concluindo-se que o transporte de sedimentos para o interior aumenta em 30% durante a enchente se esta interacção for tida em conta no modelo numérico.
Os três planos de dragagens foram avaliados através da implementação de um modelo morfodinâmico. Os novos planos de dragagens aumentaram o prisma de maré e reduziram as diferenças de duração entre a vazante e a enchente devido aos canais principais norte e sul. Os canais transversais aumentaram o assoreamento no canal principal sul e promoveram a estabilidade do canal principal norte. No entanto, devido às baixas profundidades e a uma agitação marítima muito energética, as soluções de dragagens são incapazes estabilizar permanentemente a lagoa de Óbidos

▼ Tidal inlet systems are found all over the world. These highly dynamic coastal features can be classified into three main types wave-dominated, tide-dominated or river-dominated
tidal inlet systems. A
tidal inlet is described as an opening in the shoreline that provides a connection between the ocean and a bay and is maintained by
tidal currents.
Tidal inlet systems are the whole area of the near shore ocean, inlet and bay with river catchment area. Recently, Thuy (2013) developed a dimensionless hydraulic parameter tool to classify
tidal inlet systems. The study focusses on wave-dominated
tidal inlet systems and specifically the sub-class intermittently open natural
inlets. The question arises if the intermittently open natural
inlets can be distinct by use of the parameter. This type of sub-class has an alternately open or closed connection to the ocean, which is indicated by the word intermittently. A natural inlet is defined as an inlet with no other human interventions at the inlet entrance other than artificial breaching of the entrance berm when the lagoon water level exceeds a critical value. The distinction for the sub-class can be integrated into the wave-dominated classification parameter, therefore the overall objective is to make a contribution to the wave-dominated classification parameter of Thuy (2013) to make a more accurate classification for the sub-class intermittently open natural
inlets. The overall objective is too extensive to be answered completely by only this study, therefore a specific objective is formulated. The specific objective is to predict the lagoon water level of intermittently open natural
inlets forced by waves, tide and river discharge. The prediction of the lagoon water level will indicate the important forcing working on the inlet, while the entrance is in an open state. In total nine opening/closure events are found in the data and analysed. Data included, offshore wave climate,
tidal water levels, lagoon water level and rainfall. To get a more accurate representation of the wave climate near the research sites, the offshore wave climate is adjusted to get the near shore wave climate. Based on the analysis the following main conclusion is found. The lagoon water level is a crucial parameter for prediction of the entrance state open or closed. Therefore, it is important to understand in which way the high waves will affect the elevation of the lagoon water level. Two analytical models are introduces to understand the forces that work on the open inlet. A basic energy equation, after Nielsen (2009), is the starting point of both models. The basic energy equation describes the river discharge and flood tide as inflow parameters, but the effect of waves is not taken into account. The first introduced model is the extended energy equation. The data analysis indicated that shore-normal waves are dominant during the elevation of the lagoon water level. The shore-normal wave forcing is introduced by means of a wave overwash discharge. The outcome of this model gives an…

▼ In this report a model has been derived to simulate morphological behaviour under tidal conditions. The model is based on the set of equations of motion and mass-balance for both water and sediment. The study focused on the underlying assumption that the kinematic response of the water movement on the bottom variation is much stronger than the dynamic response. Application of the transport-field method (chapter 4) as suggested by De Vriend (1985) has been examined. The performed study is a next step towards a more efficient way of morphodynamic modelling and may contribute to a more thorough understanding of morphological models and processes in tidal regions.

▼ After consulting the "Department of Environment" in Australia it was suggested that an extensive generic study about Tidal Inlets on Littoral drift shores gives them an insight in the processes at work and also the possibilities to improve the stability in order to make tidal inlets suitable for safe navigation. This report describes the most important issues related to tidal inlets on littoral drift shores in general. It is written with the intention to provide some general information to readers who are interested in tidal inlets in general. However this report also provides some specific information to be able to study the stabilisation of the Nerang River Entrance, Queensland Australia.

▼ In Alabama, the term "coastal shoreline" applies to the Gulf shoreline and the shorelines of estuaries, bays, and sounds connected to the Gulf of Mexico and
subject to its tides. However, Alabama shoreline studies have yet to include Little Lagoon, which has been connected to the Gulf of Mexico for most of the last 200 years, according to historical charts. This study used historical nautical charts, aerial photographs, and LIDAR derived shorelines from 1917 to 2004 to analyze shoreline change on Little Lagoon and its adjacent Gulf shoreline. The high water line was used as the common reference feature, and all shorelines were georeferenced, projected, and digitized in a Geographic In-formation System.
Between 1917 and 2001, the Gulf shoreline eroded an average of 40 m over 12.7 km, with some transects eroding almost 120 m while others accreted almost 60 m. The greatest changes to the Gulf shoreline were found near natural
inlets, downdrift of jetties, and coincident with nourishment projects. Between 1955 and 1997, Little Lagoon shrank 0.5%, or 51.4 km², from 10,285.9 km² to 10,234.5 km². The greatest changes to Little Lagoon were found on its southern shoreline and near
inlets, human development, and hurricane overwash fans. A correlation analysis conducted on the Gulf shoreline and Little Lagoon' s southern shoreline indicated that although weak overall correlation values exist when the entire 12.7 km study area is compared, strong correlation values are obtained in some areas when compared over one kilometer sections. The strongest correlations were found in the same locations as the greatest changes.

Cochin harbour inlet (90 58 1 04 J1N and 760 14 1 50 1J E) have beenconducted. A detailed study on the inlet regime of Cochin barmouth (permanent in nature) was attempted so as to elucidate information on: (a) channel characteristics (b) tidal hydraulics and (c) stability of the inlet. In this
connection, a naturally occurring seasonal sandbar formation at Andhakaranazhi, near Sherthallay, about 20 km south of Cochin inlet, was also chosen as a site ofstudy brought out conclusively the dynamical study. The aspects of ( 1) tidal influx/out flux (2) channel morphology (3) sedimentation regime and (4) stability and factors related
to stability of these locations. The above aspects are supported by suitable mathematical formulations to describe the associated coastal processes, wherever applicable

▼ The research presented in this dissertation qualitatively investigates the morphodynamic response of a large tidal inlet/basin system to future relative sea level rise (RSLR) using the state-of-the-art Delft3D numerical model. Understanding the potential impacts of RSLR on these systems is a prerequisite for the sustainable management due to their rich bio-diversity and the increase in economic activities and local communities in recent decades.The adopted approach used a highly schematised model domain analogous to the Ameland inlet in the Dutch Wadden Sea. Model simulations were undertaken applying tidal and wave boundary forcings with three IPCC projected RSLR scenarios (no RSLR, low RSLR and high RSLR). Predicted inlet evolution indicated a channel/shoal pattern typically observed at the Ameland inlet. RSLR enhances the existing flood-dominance of the system leading to erosion on the ebb-tidal delta and accretion in the basin. Under the no RSLR case, resulting bed evolution of the process-based model (Delft3D) tends to agree with empirical-equilibrium relations of the ASMITA model. Application of the low RSLR scenario resulted in quite stable tidal flat evolution. Model simulations with the high RSLR scenario indicated disappearing the tidal flats over time and turning the system into a lagoon. Applying nourishment hardly compensated the RSLR induced sediment demand of tidal flat evolution.

The Role of Marsh Platform Morphology in the Geomorphic Response of Tidal Inlet Systems to Sea Level Rise.

▼ Morphologic evolution of
tidal inlets depends on the ecogeomorphic behavior of the back-barrier basin, and exerts a strong influence on local shoreline response to sea level rise. A
tidal inlet channel acts as the principal valve for water and sediment exchange in a barrier system, but changes to back-barrier basin ecology, hypsometry, and flow network configuration can alter discharge conveyed through the inlet channel. We investigate the role of wetland vegetation on
tidal inlet response to sea level rise with three approaches, each investigating a set of process linkages: (1) Marsh vertical accretion control on changes to the
tidal prism, inlet channel cross-sectional area, and ebb shoal volumes due to sea level rise , (2) Feedbacks between marsh vertical accretion and sediment availability changes with sea level rise, controlled by alterations to the hydrodynamics in the back-barrier basin, and (3) the impact of marsh edge erosion on the
tidal prism, inlet channel cross-sectional area, and ebb shoal volume.
Tidal inlets communicate with the adjacent shoreline; Barrier islands, ebb and flood shoal complexes, and the contiguous wetlands act together as a sand sharing system. Alterations to one morphologic component will modify the entire budget of the system, leading to changes in the erosional-depositional patterns in local longshore sediment transport. Incorporating changes to wetland vegetation in the back-barrier basin is crucial to understanding how shorelines with barrier island systems will evolve under sea level rise worldwide. The first study investigates the role of initial marsh vertical accretion on changes to
tidal prism, inlet channel cross-sectional area, and ebb shoal volume due to a rise in relative sea level. We investigate this phenomenon by applying a numerical hydrodynamic model, paired with empirically derived morphologic relationships, to an inlet system typical of a mixed-energy, tide dominated barrier island system. We consider two end-member, marsh accretion scenarios:(A) no vertical marsh accretion, wherein marsh islands become submerged,changing both the flooded basin area and the spatial pattern of
tidal wave attenuation, and (B) a marsh accretion rate equal to the rate of sea level rise, wherein marsh
tidal channels deepen but maintain their courses and the associated friction reduction leads to a more efficient
tidal exchange between the ocean and back-barrier basin. Model results show a
tidal prism increase for both scenarios, leading to increases in channel cross-sectional area and ebb shoal volumes. Under both marsh accretion scenarios, the mechanism of improved
tidal exchange efficiency through channel deepening,produces increases of
tidal prism that are similar in magnitude. Under conditions with no marsh accretion, an additional mechanism, namely the expansion of flooded basin area, further increases the magnitude of the
tidal prism. Scenario A (no accretion) produced a
tidal prism increase four times that of the increase calculated for scenario B (pace-keeping…

(more)
▼ Tidal inlets are narrow channels connecting coastal
lagoons to the sea and in this way controlling the exchange of
water while serving as navigational pathways. These important
components of the coast are also very dynamic environments, having
their morphology determined by multiple sediment transport
processes, making tidal inlets difficult to model. Expected future
sea level rise imposes an added challenge to the management and
maintenance of the inlets and also of the connected lagoons, in
particular for poorly studied regions that often lack data to
support more detailed morphological models. The present thesis
advances the development of new numerical and analytical models to
be used in preliminary studies and to serve as useful tools for
qualitative and quantitative assessment of tidal inlet hydraulics
and morphology. The study validated the developed approaches
against a natural and dynamic inlet-lagoon system: the Mundaú
Lagoon (northeastern Brazil). Furthermore, the research
investigated internal processes of this lagoon that are affected by
the flow through its inlet, such as the water exchange, during the
critical dry season scenario, and the impacts of the tidal exchange
on the lagoon salinity dynamics and population of its
characteristic mussels. A semi-analytical approach was developed
based on the classical Keulegan equations, resulting in a series of
expressions in non-dimensional form, describing key characteristics
of the inlet flow as the lagoon levels response to tides, tidal
prism, and inlet velocities, having as the main independent
variable the repletion coefficient. These flow expressions were
then used in a sediment balance equation for the inlet evolution
resulting in diagrams of inlet equilibrium for different scenarios
related to inlet geometry configurations. The numerical model for
the inlet morphology was applied in the Mundaú lagoon inlet
long-term (decadal) and validated through schematic simulations and
an application to a complex set of forcing conditions. In this way,
the inlet evolution was estimated through the evolution of the
inlet width, based on a geometrically similar idealization of the
cross-section. The approach taken resulted in a satisfactory
description of the inlet evolution through fast simulations and
showing potential for long-term assessment of the inlet morphology.
In conclusion, the developed models demonstrated the ability to
reproduce the main characteristics of the inlet flow and
morphological evolution, requiring only key information about the
inlet and lagoon geometries as well as the main forcing.
Furthermore, the fast execution times required by the numerical
model is promising for applications in a probabilistic manner
exploring multiple future scenarios

▼ Tidal inlet systems are found around the worlds coastline. They consist of a backbarrier
lagoon or basin which is connected to the adjacent sea by means of a narrow strait.
The basin is bounded by land and/or tidal watersheds. The motion in these systems is
predominantly driven by tides (compared to other forcing agencies such as waves), examples
are the inlets in the Dutch Wadden Sea. The focus of this thesis is on two aspects of tidal
inlet systems: 1. the physics of morphological pattern formation in the inner basin and 2. the
hydro- and morphodynamic interaction between the inner basin and outer sea, including the
dynamics of the outer delta (or ebb-tidal delta). Values used in the thesis are representative
for the Frisian Inlet system, located in the Dutch Wadden Sea.
The results show that bottom patterns in the inner basin can form as free instabilities of the
system. Both global patterns (channel/shoal patterns covering the whole basin) and local patterns
(tidal sand bars near the entrance of the basin) were found. The latter are characterised
by dominant advective sediment fluxes, whereas global patterns are found when advective and
diffusive fluxes are of the same order of magnitude or when diffusive fluxes are dominant.
Different physical mechanisms of pattern growth are described for each case. The advective
transport of sediment is mainly due to transport of the tidally averaged concentration by the
residual current.
Analysis of the interaction between the basin and the outer sea shows that the residual
water motion inside the basin is strongly influenced by a shore-parallel tidal wave in the outer
sea. The effect of earth rotation is much less in this respect. The interaction of the current
through the strait and the along-shore current causes asymmetries in the water motion but
not in the erosion and deposition pattern. Therefore, long-term simulations were performed
to study the morphological development of a recently formed inlet. The actual geometry
of the Frisian Inlet (a double inlet system) is used here with a flat bottom topography. The
Engelsmanplaat, situated between the two subsystems, is not included in the geometry. The
results show the development of two distinct outer deltas and channels and shoals in the
system. Apparently the width of the inlet allows for a double inlet systems, so that the
Engelsmanplaat is not a necessary condition for the stability of the Frisian Inlet. Initially the
two systems evolves symmetrically, but after some 200 years asymmetries can be observed
both on the outer delta (orientation of the main channel and different sizes of the two outer
deltas) and in the basin (faster development of the eastern system than the western one).
As waves are not included in the forcings, this means that tides alone can cause a preferred
orientation of the main channel on the outer delta.

▼ In the south-western part of the Netherlands, the system of estuaries,
tidal basins and islands called the Delta, has been shaped and studied by humans for centuries. By far the largest event that determined its current configuration was the storm surge that occurred in 1953. This giant flooding gave rise to one of the largest engineering programs in the world: the Delta Plan. The aim of this plan was to ensure safety against flooding, while at the same time allow for other utilisations of the Delta. This system of dams, barriers and sluices has had, and is still having a strong effect on the morphology of the Delta coast and basins, especially the Eastern Scheldt
tidal basin. The objective of this research is to gain understanding of the mechanisms that govern the exchange of sediment between the Eastern Scheldt basin and its ebb-
tidal delta, and the effects of human interventions on these mechanisms. In order to gain better understanding of the processes determining the morphology of the Eastern Scheldt inlet, analysis of bathymetric and hydraulic data is combined with process-based numerical modelling. From this study on the Eastern Scheldt and its surroundings, it has become clear that the Eastern Scheldt is a basin that has been shaped strongly by a multitude of human interventions throughout the past few centuries. It will also take in the order of centuries before the morphological effects of these interventions will have levelled out.

▼ A vast amount of
tidal inlet systems worldwide are multiple inlet
tidal systems. Numerical modelling studies have been, however, mainly focussed on single inlet
tidal systems. Furthermore, some semi-analytical models suggest that multiple inlet
tidal systems are not stable on geological timescales. In this thesis a numerical morphodynamic model is used to investigate whether double inlet
tidal systems can subsist on longer timescales in an environment without waves, and what effect a different inlet spacing and artificial lowering of the bed have on sediment transport patterns and on the bed level profiles.
It is found that when developing from an initially flat bottom, a channel-shoal network develops that has a similar structure as that observed in the Wadden Sea. The main channels in terms of net sediment transport are tilted downdrift in the basin, making the system more asymmetrical. After 185 yr of morphological evolution, the total eroded sediment and sediment transports in the basin reach a quasi-steady value, indicating the development of a steady double inlet system. However, a continuous import of sediment occurs, which is due to
tidal asymmetry, but in the updrift inlet mainly due to the residual flow. In the basin a
tidal watershed develops — separating the basin parts drained by each inlet — which is shifted downdrift as a result of the phase difference between the
inlets.
When the inlet spacing is increased, the main channels in terms of net sediment transport shift from a dominant direction away from the watershed to a dominant direction towards the watershed. The system imports sediment for all studied distances between the
inlets, but for increasing inlet spacing, the import due to the residual flow increases, whereas the import due to
tidal asymmetry decreases. Furthermore, the sediment transports of downdrift and updrift sub-system become more equal with increased inlet spacing, consequently the updrift sub-system becomes less dominant. Regarding the
tidal watershed, its location shifts downdrift with increasing inlet spacing (due to the phase difference between the
inlets), whereas it forms a less effective separation of the two sub-systems for a larger distance between the
inlets.
Finally, when the bed level is lowered artificially, almost no morphological changes occur in the proximity of the peak lowering, mainly caused by a decreased velocity due to mass continuity. The
tidal prism in the updrift sub-basin increases, resulting in increased erosion of the updrift inlet. Counterintuitively, a lowering of the bed level causes a decreased sediment import.

▼ Tidal inlet systems are found around the worlds coastline. They consist of a backbarrier
lagoon or basin which is connected to the adjacent sea by means of a narrow strait.
The basin is bounded by land and/or tidal watersheds. The motion in these systems is
predominantly driven by tides (compared to other forcing agencies such as waves), examples
are the inlets in the Dutch Wadden Sea. The focus of this thesis is on two aspects of tidal
inlet systems: 1. the physics of morphological pattern formation in the inner basin and 2. the
hydro- and morphodynamic interaction between the inner basin and outer sea, including the
dynamics of the outer delta (or ebb-tidal delta). Values used in the thesis are representative
for the Frisian Inlet system, located in the Dutch Wadden Sea.
The results show that bottom patterns in the inner basin can form as free instabilities of the
system. Both global patterns (channel/shoal patterns covering the whole basin) and local patterns
(tidal sand bars near the entrance of the basin) were found. The latter are characterised
by dominant advective sediment fluxes, whereas global patterns are found when advective and
diffusive fluxes are of the same order of magnitude or when diffusive fluxes are dominant.
Different physical mechanisms of pattern growth are described for each case. The advective
transport of sediment is mainly due to transport of the tidally averaged concentration by the
residual current.
Analysis of the interaction between the basin and the outer sea shows that the residual
water motion inside the basin is strongly influenced by a shore-parallel tidal wave in the outer
sea. The effect of earth rotation is much less in this respect. The interaction of the current
through the strait and the along-shore current causes asymmetries in the water motion but
not in the erosion and deposition pattern. Therefore, long-term simulations were performed
to study the morphological development of a recently formed inlet. The actual geometry
of the Frisian Inlet (a double inlet system) is used here with a flat bottom topography. The
Engelsmanplaat, situated between the two subsystems, is not included in the geometry. The
results show the development of two distinct outer deltas and channels and shoals in the
system. Apparently the width of the inlet allows for a double inlet systems, so that the
Engelsmanplaat is not a necessary condition for the stability of the Frisian Inlet. Initially the
two systems evolves symmetrically, but after some 200 years asymmetries can be observed
both on the outer delta (orientation of the main channel and different sizes of the two outer
deltas) and in the basin (faster development of the eastern system than the western one).
As waves are not included in the forcings, this means that tides alone can cause a preferred
orientation of the main channel on the outer delta.

▼ Blind Pass, a heavily structured wave-dominated tidal inlet on the west central coast of Florida, has undergone substantial morphologic changes in the past 150 years. Initially Blind Pass was a mixed-energy inlet. In 1848 a hurricane opened a new inlet to the north called Johns Pass, which captured a large portion of the tidal prism of Blind Pass. Since then Blind Pass migrated southward until it was structurally stabilized in 1937. The decreasing tidal prism resulted in significant inlet channel filling. The channel has been dredged 12 times since 1937. The present inlet is stabilized by two jetties and a series of seawalls.
Detailed time-series field measurements of bathymetry and tidal flows were conducted between 2001 and 2004, after the last channel dredging in the summer of 2000. The measured depositional rate in the inlet channel approximately equals the net southward longshore transport rate. This suggests that the inlet has served as a trap for the southward longshore transport allowing negligible bypassing to the eroding downdrift beach. Most of the active sedimentation occurs on the northern side of the inlet. The sediment in the thalweg is largely coarse shell lag, indicating adequate sediment flushing by the ebbing tide. The cross-channel flow measurements revealed that ebb flow was approximately twice as high in the channel thalweg as compared with the rest of the channel. The flood flow was largely uniform across the entire inlet and dominated over the northern portion of the inlet due to the weak ebb flow there. This cross-channel flow pattern is crucial to the understanding of the sedimentation patterns in the Blind Pass channel. Two years after the last dredging the mouth has become shallow enough to induce wave breaking across the shoal area. Distinctive seasonal patterns of sedimentation were measured thereafter in the inlet channel, influenced by seasonal wave climate. The sedimentation is event driven from passage of cold fronts bringing elevated wave energy that accelerates the southward longshore transport. During normal conditions the sediment deposited in the mouth area is redistributed further into the inlet by the flood current combined with wave-driven current.

▼ Florida's Department of Transportation requires design storm tide hydrographs for coastal waters surrounding
tidal inlets along the coast of Florida. These hydrographs are used as open ocean boundary conditions for local bridge scour models. At present, very little information is available on the effect that
tidal inlets have on these open coast storm tide hydrographs. Furthermore, current modeling practice enforces a single design hydrograph along the open coast boundary for bridge scour models. This thesis expands on these concepts and provides a more fundamental understanding on both of these modeling areas. A numerical parameter study is undertaken to elucidate the influence of
tidal inlets on open coast storm tide hydrographs. Four different inlet-bay configurations are developed based on a statistical analysis of existing
tidal inlets along the Florida coast. The length and depth of the inlet are held constant in each configuration, but the widths are modified to include the following four inlet profiles: 1) average Florida inlet width; 2) 100 meter inlet width; 3) 500 meter inlet width; and 4) 1000 meter inlet width. In addition, two unique continental shelf profiles are used to design the ocean bathymetry in the model domains: a bathymetry profile consistent with the west/northeast coast of Florida (wide continental shelf width), and a bathymetry profile similar to the southeast coast of Florida (narrow continental shelf width). The four inlet-bay configurations are paired with each of the bathymetry profiles to arrive at eight model domains employed in this study. Results from these domains are compared to control cases that do not include any inlet-bay system in the computational domain. The ADCIRC-2DDI numerical code is used to obtain water surface elevations for all studies performed herein. The code is driven by astronomic tides at the open ocean boundary, and wind velocities and atmospheric pressure profiles over the surface of the computational domains. Model results clearly indicate that the four inlet-bay configurations do not have a significant impact on the open coast storm tide hydrographs. Furthermore, a spatial variance amongst the storm tide hydrographs is recognized for open coast boundary locations extending seaward from the mouth of the inlet. The results and conclusions presented herein have implications toward future bridge scour modeling efforts. In addition, a hindcast study of Hurricane Ivan in the vicinity of Escambia Bay along the Panhandle of Florida is performed to assess the findings of the numerical parameter study in a real-life scenario. Initially, emphasis is placed on domain scale by comparing model results with historical data for three computational domains: an ocean-based domain, a shelf-based domain, and an inlet-based domain. Results indicate that the ocean-based domain favorably simulates storm surge levels within the bay compared to the other model domains. Furthermore, the main conclusions from the numerical parameter study are verified in the hindcast study: 1) the…

▼ Tidal inlets play a significant role in barrier island sustainability along the barrier islands of southern Louisiana. With increasing
tidal prism, major changes are taking place within and adjacent to the
inlets. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how Caminada Pass, a
tidal inlet along the Caminada-Moreau headland, has evolved through time. Fundamental to this effort is evaluating which processes have contributed toward inlet evolution and what is the response of the inlet-bordering barrier island shorelines of Grand Isle and Elmer’s Island. This effort summarizes previous results and utilizes published bathymetric data, aerial photographs, vector shorelines, satellite images, and seafloor grab samples. The intent of this research is to document the variety of data that are available for future studies of Caminada Pass, an evaluation of long and short-term changes to the system, and an overall better understanding of the inlet dynamics of Caminada Pass.

▼ This study is concerned with a 29km long barrier island system along the New Brunswick coast of Kouchibouguac Bay. Over the past 150 years these islands have been retreating shorewards and have been affected by storm wave action. The changes in the island configuration, the characteristics of the island topography and the seasonal variations in the beach profile suggests that these islands are similar to better known ones along the United States coastline. The sediment characteristics of these islands reveal that there is an interplay of wind and wave processes on the sands, an interplay that is constantly mixing beach, dune and lagoon sands. The dominant southwest winds in summer cause most of the beach and dune sands to take on the characteristics of wind affected sands while the fall and spring storms impart characteristics of wave deposition to the beach sands at these times. The sediment characteristics revealed seasonal changes in the islands but simulation modelling of the energy distribution of waves in the bay after wave refraction accounts for most of the long term change in the island configuration. This modelling emphasizes field work which revealed that not all parts of the islands are affected by the same storm waves. Nort-northeast waves have a better chance of affecting the southern part of the bay while more easterly approaching waves will only influence the northern part. Over a period of time form 1894 to 1964, wave refraction modelling also shows that much of the change in the configuration of South Beach can be accounted for by wave refraction over a changing offshore bathymetry. Storm wave action thus accounts for most of the change in island configuration but the change around the inlets is most likely dependent upon the ability of these inlets to maintain stability at all times. Richibucto Inlet has achieved a stable equilibrium between the strength of the tidal currents passing through the inlet and the amount of incoming longshore drift, so that its position has remained static over the last 30 years. It is unlikely that Blacklands Gully or Little Gully have achieved this stability.

▼ HYDRODYNAMICS OF
TIDAL INLETS ON
TIDAL AND SUBTIDAL TIMESCALES The hydrodynamics of
inlets are studied using observational data as well as a simple analytical model on
tidal and subtidal temporal scales. These
inlets, where the momentum balance is typically between pressure gradient, friction and advection, are
subject to variability due to bathymetry, winds and stratification. Three main research topics are studied in this work. The first research topic investigates a basin of connected
inlets. In this basin with two
inlets, frictional influences decrease
tidal velocity and sea surface elevation away from the
inlets to a minimum in the middle of the waterway. Secondly,
tidal flow over a hollow is studied and along-channel velocities are found to be asymmetric between ebb and flood tides. Along-channel depth-averaged velocities follow Bernoulli dynamics with decreased velocity over the hollow. Enhanced mixing occurs along the seaward slope of the hollow which decreases stratification at the end of ebb and increases stratification during flood. Lastly, the variability in the subtidal flow in three
inlets is studied. This investigation provides observational evidence for theoretical results on
tidal, wind-driven and density-driven flows in semienclosed bodies of water with lateral variations in bathymetry. ( en )

▼ John’s Pass is a stable mixed-energy inlet located on a microtidal coast in Pinellas County, Florida. It is hydraulically connected to the northern portion of Boca Ciega Bay. Morphological analysis using a time-series of aerial photographs indicated that anthropogenic activities have influenced the evolution of the tidal deltas and adjacent shorelines at John’s Pass. Previous studies have documented the channel dimensions at the location of the existing bridge and calculated the tidal prism. A chronological analysis of these data yielded an increasing trend in the cross-sectional area at John’s Pass from 1873 to 2001. Anthropogenic activities occurring in Boca Ciega Bay impacting this trend begin in the 1920’s when Indian Pass, approximately 7 km north of John’s Pass, was artificially closed. Other significant events causing an increase or decrease in the crosssectional area at John’s Pass include dredging and filling in the bay, channel dredging at John’s Pass, and jetty construction.
More recent data collected from a simultaneous current meter deployment at John’s Pass and Blind Pass were used to calculate the bay area serviced by each inlet resulting in an area serviced by John’s Pass being 1.8x104 km2 and 0.33x104 km2 serviced by Blind Pass. In comparison, Blind Pass captures 14 percent of the tidal prism that John’s Pass captures and John’s Pass captures 87 percent of the bay prism while Blind Pass captures 13 percent. Using the discharge equation and assuming the channel area was largely constant the tidal prism at John’s Pass was 1.07x107 m3 during the twenty-one day deployment. Based on a historical analysis of the tidal prism this study is within 40 percent of the tidal prism calculated by Mehta (1976) and Becker and Ross (2001) and within 20 percent of the tidal prism calculated by Jarrett (1976) and Davis and Gibeaut (1990). An analysis of the current meter time-series indicated that flood velocities in the channel were influenced by a frontal system passing through the study area during the deployment increasing the amount of potential sediment being deposited in the channel thalweg. The maximum ebb and flood-tidal velocities during the deployment were 143 cm/s and 115 cm/s, respectively.
Morphological analysis of cross-sectional data from 1995 to 2004 indicated that sediment tends to accumulate along the northern portion of the channel. The channel thalweg tends to accumulate more sediment east of the bridge where wave energy is lower and currents are not as strong. An average net accumulation of 0.5 m per year was estimated along all seven cross-sections. Given the length and width of the surveyed channel, 610 m by approximately 150 m, the sediment flux through the inlet is approximately 45,800 m3 /yr along the channel thalweg. A small amount of sediment accumulation has occurred southwest of the bridge in response to channelized flood flows along the newly constructed jetty. An annual sediment budget was estimated for the John’s Pass inlet system using the beach profiles and inlet bathymetry data…

▼ A numerical model has been developed for the study of stratified tidal circulation in Indian Arm - a representative inlet on the southern coast of British Columbia. Equations for horizontal velocity, salt conservation, continuity, density (calculated as a linear function of salinity), and the hydrostatic approximation govern the dynamics. All equations have been laterally integrated under the assumption of negligible cross-inlet variability. The model is time dependent and includes nonlinear advective terms, horizontal and vertical turbulent diffusion of salt and momentum, and variations in width and depth. Provisions for surface wind stress and a flux of fresh water are also included, although neither was utilized in this study. An explicit finite difference scheme centred in both time and space was used to solve for the horizontal and vertical velocity components, salinity, and surface elevation on a staggered rectangular grid. A backward Euler scheme was used to suppress the computational mode. Tests using a semi-implicit scheme to solve the finite difference
equations over realistic topography led to numerical instabilities at modest values of the time step - in spite of the unconditional stability criteria - suggesting that linear stability analysis may give misleading results for strongly nonlinear systems. Surface elevations
calculated from tidal harmonic analysis and salinity timeseries derived from linearly interpolated CTD casts were prescribed at the open boundary.
Initial and boundary conditions based on observations in Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm during the winter of 1974-75 were used to study the inlet's response to tidal forcing and to simulate the deep-water renewal that occurred during this period. Coefficients for the horizontal
turbulent diffusion of momentum and salt were set equal to 10⁶ cm² s⁻¹. Reducing this value by a factor of two was found to have little impact on the solution. A further reduction to 10³ cm² s⁻¹ led to numerical instabilities under conditions of dense water inflow. The side friction term in the momentum balance was tuned to match calculated and observed dissipation rates in Burrard Inlet; leading to good agreement between the observed and calculated barotropic tide. Contour plots of tidal amplitudes and phases for model currents and salinities revealed a standing wave pattern for the K₁ and M₂ internal tides in Indian Arm; thus allowing for the possibility of resonance. A comparison of model results with vertical amplitude and phase profiles from harmonic analysis of Cyclesonde current meter timeseries at two locations in Indian Arm was consistent with this result. A least-squares fit was made of the vertical modal structure in the model to the complex tidal amplitudes. This led to calculations of the kinetic energy contained in each of the modes along the model inlet for the M₂ and K₁ constituents. Most of the energy was found to be contained in the barotropic and first baroclinic modes, with the latter dominating in the deep basin, and the former dominating near the…

Stability and geomorphology of Pass Cavallo and its flood delta since 1856, central Texas coast.

▼ Because the volume of flow through an inlet is proportional to the
tidal range and the area of the
tidal basin, Texas
tidal inlets have some of the largest
tidal basins relative to their entrance area of any inlet. Matagorda Bay at Pass Cavallo has an area of about 200 square miles, but only a mean diurnal
tidal range of about 1.1 feet. From tide gage records the most important events modifying
tidal currents in Pass Cavallo are the numerous wind tides each year that occur most frequently during the cooler months, November through May. Wind tides are most noticeable in Matagorda Bay because the astronomical
tidal range is small, the fetch long (10-20 miles) and the depth only about 12 feet. Hurricanes and river floods that would raise water levels in Matagorda Bay by even 0.5 foot occur too infrequently to affect equilibrium conditions in the inlet. Pass Cavallo has passed through three time periods since 1856: 1856-1930, 1930-1965, and post 1965. Each time period was characterized by a different, and subsequently smaller
tidal discharge, cross-sectional area and
tidal channel length. The
tidal discharge decreased between 1929 and 1935 when the Colorado River delta cut off part of east Matagorda Bay to reduce the
tidal area of Matagorda Bay, and in 1965, the Matagorda Ship Channel was dredged across Matagorda Peninsula to reduce the volume of water passing through Pass Cavallo. Other features that changed with decreasing discharge, but remained stable during each time period, were the channel pattern, and location and shape of the Gulf bar and Pelican Island. During all three periods Pass Cavallo maintained stable cross-sectional shape, and
tidal flow by-passing characteristics, except during the post 1965 when neither
tidal flow by-passing nor bar by-passing were dominant. Since 1856 Pass Cavallo has remained geographically stable relative to its width. The axial trough has migrated southwestward about 1000 feet during the past 100 years – or about 1/9th the distance between Matagorda Peninsula and Matagorda Island. Shorelines adjacent to the inlet also have tended to move southwestward, but at a faster rate than the axial trough. Along the western side of the pass, shoreline erosion is related to jetties interrupting sediment transport southward from the western shoreline of Matagorda Bay, and to storms eroding the constructional beach extending northward from Matagorda Island. The modern flood delta at Pass Cavallo consists of a large, sandy platform, that is lobate into Espiritu Santo Bay with salt marsh, storm-
tidal flats and
tidal channels. The flood delta is located to the side of the channel pattern of Pass Cavallo, and appears to be active only during the high tides of hurricanes, tropical storms and "northers". There are three informal physiographic provinces on the flood delta, each one reflecting a different sediment supply and energy regime inherent in each bay and in the Gulf. 1) The Gulf of Mexico Province has the largest and best-developed intertidal beaches, surge channels, storm-
tidal flats and…

▼ Data of water surface elevations, currents, winds, discharge and salinities collected throughout a system of interconnected shallow barrier island lagoons are analyzed to describe the circulation and transport processes. In addition, a three-dimensional curvilinear model, representing the Sarasota Bay System, is calibrated to the data, tested for sensitivity and used to isolate the forcing mechanisms driving the flow. Spectral and harmonic analysis of the tides and currents quantified the distribution of energy across five frequency bands, the sub-tidal, diurnal, semi-diurnal, third diurnal and fourth diurnal. the analyses showed that the inlets and constrictions act as low pass filters for the tides reducing the semi-diurnal energies, while increasing the semi diurnal energy with the currents. The shift in current energy is driven by the change from rotational flow within the Gulf to more unidirectional flow. Currents within lagoons which recieve tidal forcing from opposite direction exhibit similar characteristics, such as increased residual flow energy, and equivalent distribution of energy between the semi-diurnal and diurnal. Regions which are forced more uni-directionally exhibit opposing characteristics. All regions no matter the depth exhibit some level of three-dimensionality in the currents, both in the short term and residual flows. Filtering of the winds, water levels, and current identified the driving mechanism for the residual fluctuation as Ekman Transport and local wind forcing. the Ekman Transport acts within the lower frequency bands (7 to 10 days) while the local wind forcing acts within higher band (3 to 4 days). The three dimensional numerical model is calibrated to the collected data by comparing the simulated energy distribution with those described above. The model accurately simulates the short term tides and currents and captures the general characteristics of the residual water level fluctuations and currents. The model is unable to accurately simulate the absolute transport of salinity but succeeds in capturing some of the general trends. Finally, a term by term analysis of the equations of motion identified the primary forcing mechanisms driving residual flow throughout the lagoons as wind and mean water surface gradients. The level of detail in the data analyses, the determination of the distribution of energies and forcing mechanisms, as well as the quantification of the model accuracy is largely unprecedented. This approach provides insight into the physics of the overall circulation and transport within the shallow lagoons as well as quantifying the capability of three-dimensional numerical models to simulate the complex flow patterns.
