This unique compendium comprehensively covers several important topics related to the field of maritime hydraulics, particularly the underlying physics in the wave structure interaction with the coastal structures, coastal and inland flooding during extreme events in addition to perineal erosion. These topics are well understood through physical and numerical modelling, in which the scale effects, proving the models and its range of applicability are vividly discussed.This useful reference text serves as a guide to engineers, planners, researchers, decision makers and graduate students working in the field of coastal, estuarine and harbor engineering.Contents: Introduction Coastal Structures: Seawalls, Groynes and Breakwaters Rubble Mound Structures Principles of Physical Modelling Physical Modelling of Nearshore Structures Wave Impact Response Multi-Functional Coastal Structures Numerical Modelling Concepts Coastal-Riverine Confluence Overview of Ecosystem-Based Coastal Structures Flood Control Structures Field Monitoring Readership: Researchers, professionals, academics and graduate students in coastal engineering.
