Abstract
Larson et al. (1987) proposed a closed-form solution to describe the development of river delta coastlines owing to sediment supply from the river. This solution is for a beach of infinite extent adjacent to the river mouth. However, in reality, the beach length is always finite due to the existence of man-made structures or headlands. It is, therefore, useful to derive a new analytical solution to gain a better understanding of beach behavior under the effect of boundaries.

Larson et al (1987) proposed a closed-form solution to describe the development of river delta coastlines owing to sediment supply from the river
Characteristic differences between the new analytical solution and the solution provided by Larson et al (1987) for the formation of river delta shorelines will be discussed
There has not been any analytical solution for the development of a river delta coastline with a finite length, there is a comparable study about the heat conduction in a medium between two insulated boundaries (Myers, 1971)
