Field Measurements of Hydrodynamics Around a Beach Defence System
An extensive program of field measurements of currents around a beach defence system is described and results are shown. The monitoring program was carried out in the last three years around a semi-submerged breakwater built in Lido di Dante, Italy to protect a beach nourishment and prevent erosion. The monitoring aims to study the complex hydrodynamics of Low-Crested Structures (LCS). Drifter tracks surveyed in the study area together with current and wave measurements through an ADCP provide a better comprehension of the hydrodynamics during typical wave storms and a tool for the calibration of numerical models.
