Parameterization of coastal engineering analysis curve / Hamdan Ali

Design curves in Shore Protection Manual are the most important element to refer and widely used in the study of coastal engineering. The design curves is the most common method of representing the relationship between various parameters. The use of design curves is very tedious, and the graph plots are mostly based on measured field and laboratory test data, This study is thus aimed at providing simplified equations on the relationship of the parameters. The wide spreed use of computer makes it necessary to have the graph in the form of equations for any numerical simulations With the simplified equations it is hoped that a coastal model using these equation will required less computation and result in faster simulation with an acceptable degree of accuracy.
