Abstract
The present paper describes the application of a range of computer models to describe the seasonal variation of seabed bathymetry in the vicinity of Chukpyon Harbour, which is situated on the east coast of Korea. The coastal conditions at the harbour site are dominated by waves and wave-induced currents. Consequently, wave-period-average models were used to predict waves and wave-induced-currents for three wave conditions for two wave directions. A new three-dimensional wave-period-average sediment model was then used to describe particular patterns of seabed change, which were, in turn, combined to predict seasonal changes. Use was made of a variety of field data on waves, currents, and sediment transport rates to set up and calibrate the model. Comparison of model results with field data confirmed the presence of residual sediment movement towards the harbour entrance and the location of shoal zones near the west groyne and east breakwater. The model was subsequently used to study new additions to the existing structures to control nearshore siltation.
