Natural Mechanisms of Sediment Bypassing at Tidal Inlets

D. M. FitzGerald / N. C. Kraus / E. B. Hands

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) describes mechanisms by which sediment bypasses both natural and improved tidal inlets. It pertains principally to inlets on alluvial or sandy shores and is a product of activities of the Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP), which is conducting both applied and basic studies at coastal inlets.
