Abstract

This paper is written in continuation of earlier published material (2, 4, 5) dealing with stability of tidal inlets on littoral drift shores. The experience available at that time was responsible for the introduction of two parameters: .vmean max/ defined as the mean max. velocity in the gorge at spring tide and the K/M-tot ratio (tidal prism at spring tide divided by material transport to the entrance from the adjoining shores) as the most pertinent parameters for description of overall stability. A more detailed justification for this choice is given in this paper, based on computation of the relative sediment transport at various tidal phases. Examples of earlier date (4) and twelve new examples from India are given.
