FIELD OBSERVATION AND NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF BARRIER ISLAND FORMATION AS RESULT OF ELONGATION OF SAND SPIT AND ITS ATTACHMENT TO OPPOSITE SHORE. (2017). Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1(35), sediment.5. https://doi.org/10.9753/icce.v35.sediment.5

Resumen

An artificial mound was produced from dredged materials containing sand and gravel in the Nakatsu tidal flat facing the Suo-nada Sea, and this artificial mound served as a supply source of sediment for the development of a barrier island. A sand spit extended from this mound in an extremely shallow sea and attached to the opposite shore, resulting in the formation of a barrier island. The planar changes in the sand spit were investigated using aerial photographs. Observations were compared with the results of a numerical simulation regarding the formation of a barrier island on a sloping bed with a 1/40 slope using the BG model (a model for predicting three-dimensional beach changes based on Bagnold's concept). The observed change in the barrier island and the calculated results were in good agreement.
