The present paper deals with the determination of longshore sediment transport rate. Specifically, case study of Saline Joniche (Reggio Calabria, Italy, is discussed. This case is of interest because, in this location, an artificial basin was built in the 70’s. After few years, port entrance experienced total obstruction by sand. Actually, the area is abandoned and several projects have been proposed for revitalising port activities. This paper discusses a method for estimating the longshore sediment transport rate at Saline Joniche and complements previous methodology.

The Cross

Existing models for longshore sediment transport rate computations assume the sediment grain size and grain sizerelated parameters to be uniform in both the cross-shore and longshore directions. Field results from tideless beaches, which are briefly described in the paper, show that the latter change in both directions due to changing wave energylevels. The sensitivity analysis described in the paper shows that both longshore current and transport rate computations are sensitive to the cross-shore changes in grain size.Finally, a modified linearity coefficient for the wave power equation is proposed based upon the cross-shore distributions of grain size as found in nature.
