    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Emanuel Schmidt; [2017]
    Keywords : Nearshore currents; currents; swimming safety; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The South East Coast of Scania is a popular destination for both Swedish and foreign tourists. The long and wide sandy beaches are well visited by swimmers and beachgoers, but the waters have shown to be treacherous at times. READ MORE

  3. 2. Wave transformation at a rock platform in Victoria, Australia - A study combining field measurements with numerical modelling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Hanna Kowalczyk; [2016]
    Keywords : Wave dynamics; wave modelling; shore platform; rock coasts; EBED; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Even though a large part of the world's coastline consists of rocky shores, it is still a neglected field of study in coastal research. To increase the knowledge of wave transformation processes on these shores is important in order to understand erosional patterns and to manage coastal risks. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modeling wave, currents and sediment transport in Ystad Bay

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Seyed Abbas Hosseini Sadabadi; [2012]
    Keywords : Ystad Bay; EBED Model; SWAN; Modelling Wave; Sediment Transport; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Coastal areas around the world are being shaped by many natural phenomena, as well as by man-induced activities. Hydrodynamic phenomena such as wind-generated waves, extreme storms and seasonal tides cause a continued change in topography and the natural sediment formation in the nearshore zone as a result of erosion and accumulation.
