Storm and tsunami induced sediment transport and morphology changes in vicinity of tidal inlets
Abstract
This study comprises of numerical modelling studies on the morphology changes in the vicinity of tidal inlets. Two real case scenarios comprising of a very severe cyclonic storm and the mega Indian Ocean tsunami were considered as case studies. Satellite images before and after the storm were used to study the morphology changes. Sediment transport is estimated utilising available sediment transport formulae and the hydrodynamics forcing obtained from a depth averaged hydrodynamic model
