Literature Review of Nearshore Berms

Abstract

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering special report is a general overview of the current state of nearshore berm placement research.The report describes current design guidance for nearshore berm placement, as well as the major findings of existing numerical andphysical modeling studies. Field experiments are also summarized. Numerical and physical models are important as they help to illustratein greater detail the morphological evolution and hydrodynamic effects the berm has on the surrounding area. Physical models allow fortwo- and three-dimensional illustration of these concepts.
