Coastal Engineering
Wikiversity Department of Marine Engineering
Content summary
The course will deal with basic coastal engineering concepts such as water waves, their propagation and transformation, statistical representation of the sea state, tides and currents, sediment transport and beach dynamics, coastal structures, wave interaction with structures, environmental issues near coastal zones.
Goals
To help the reader to appreciate coastal engineering methods with a firm understanding of the underlying theoretical principles.
