Abstract

The spatial distributions of the cross-shore sediment transport rate for berm formation and erosion were examined using a 2.5-year data set of beach profiles. The investigation area was set from the maximum wave run-up position to the shoreline position at the mean tide level. The cross-shore sediment transport rates for berm formation and erosion were modeled with the offshore wave energy flux and the berm height, respectively. Moreover, the model was applied for the calculation of a one-month beach profile change. The results revealed that the model well predicts the beach profile change of the berm formation and erosion in a qualitative sense.
