Abstract
A model for predicting the evolution of an ebb tidal delta was developed based on the BG model, which was proposed by the present authors using the Bagnold concept of the equilibrium slope. Bathymetric changes around the inlet of Imakiri-guchi during 1978 and 2005 were quantitatively analyzed to investigate the evolution of the ebb tidal delta and sand accumulation offshore of the inlet. The model was applied to this inlet. The predicted bathymetric changes were in good agreement with the measured. Measures for preventing the offshore sand loss were also considered using the model.
