Simulation of Shoreline Changes on the Delaware Coast near the Indian River Inlet
The purpose of this study is to model long-term shoreline changes on the Delaware coast near the Indian River Inlet (IRI) by using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers shoreline evolution model, GenCade. By utilizing shoreline survey data and bathymetrical data of the inlet, this site-specific model was validated by hindcasting a 12-year-long historical shoreline evolution. The corresponding coastal processes simulated in the model include inlet sediment transport, offshore waves, longshore sediment transport, and coastal protection practices such as sand bypassing operation and beach nourishment. The evolution of shoals and bars around the inlet was simulated by using the inlet reservoir model (IRM). Model simulation skill was evaluated in terms of statistical errors by comparing simulated shoreline changes with observation data. The effect of sand bypassing operation is examined by comparing simulated shoreline changes with and without the bypassing.
