Shoreward Displacement of Shoreline Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shoreward Displacement of the Shoreline = Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line/(tan(Beach Slope)-Cross-Shore Balance Momentum)
Δ_x = η_s/(tan(β)-dη'dx)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)

Variables Used

Shoreward Displacement of the Shoreline - Shoreward Displacement of the shoreline is the pattern that persists for different water levels influencing Wave-driven dynamics of Shoreward propagation.
Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line - (Measured in Meter) - Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line is the increase in mean water level due to the presence of breaking waves.
Beach Slope - Beach Slope is the slope of the foreshore or beach face, a dynamic feature that changes with changes in wave conditions as well as the gain or loss of different sediment sizes on the beach face.
Cross-Shore Balance Momentum - Cross-Shore Balance Momentum is the equilibrium state of forces acting in the cross-shore direction, which is perpendicular to the shoreline.

What is Wave Runup & Wave Setup and Setdown?

Wave runup is the maximum vertical extent of wave uprush on a beach or structure above the still water level (SWL). It is the sum of wave set-up and swash uprush (see Swash Zone Dynamics) and must be added to the water level reached as a result of tides and wind set-up.
The wave setup is the increase in mean water level due to the presence of breaking waves. Similarly, wave set down is a wave-induced decrease of the mean water level before the waves break.
The wave setdown is a wave-induced decrease of the mean water level before the waves break (during the shoaling process). For short, the whole phenomenon is often denoted as wave setup, including both increase and decrease of mean elevation.

Define Breaking Wave & cause of Regular Waves.

In fluid dynamics, a breaking wave or breaker is a wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at which some process can suddenly start to occur causing large amounts of wave energy to be transformed into turbulent kinetic energy.
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As the wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. The gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on the Earth causes waves.
