The course is aimed at introducing the student to the hydrodynamics and morphodyanics of the coastal region. In particular the problem of wind wave propagation and interaction with the bottom and the coast is tackled. Moreover, the course provides a basic knowledge of tides and sediment transport
Trained skill: ability to formulate problems of coastal engineering involving wind waves, tidal currents and their interaction with the sea bottom, the coastline and human interventions. Moreover, during the course, simple problems of practical interest will be formulated and solved.
The course consists of lectures (~40 hours) and exercises (~10 hours)
Linear and nonlinear Stokes waves, potential and kinematic wave energy, wave celerity and group celerity, wave shoaling, wave action equation, Snell law, wave refraction and diffraction phenomena, mild slope equation, linear and nonlinear theory of the bottom boundary layer, shallow water equations, solitary and cnoidal waves, Boussinesq equation, edge waves, depth and time averaged equations, radiation stresses, wave breaking, wave set-up and wave set-down, longshore current, random sea waves, tides, sediment transport, coastal morphodynamics.
