(3 units). Key concepts in coastal engineering: (1) wave mechanics and coastal hydrodynamics, (2) sediment transport and coastal morphodynamics and (3) coastal structures and coastal zone management. Wave mechanics and coastal hydrodynamics to include small-amplitude wave theory, finite amplitude wave theories (Stokes, Cnoidal and solitary wave), wave generation, wave transformations, development and prediction, hydrodynamics of coastal circulation. Sediment transport and coastal morphodynamics to include: wave and current-induced sediment transport, coastal sediment processes, longshore and cross-shore beach morphologic transformations, etc. Coastal structures and coastal zone management to include: beach erosion control, coastal structures (dikes, breakwaters, groins, seawalls), beach nourishment, coastal pollution and control, nearshore area development. This course is equivalent to CIVJ 5605 at Carleton University. Course Component: Lecture
