ERDC/CHL CHETN-IV-35
June 2001
FUTURE WORK: Research is underway in the CIRP to provide a convenient interface for
implementing the numerical solution of the channel infilling model. The solution will allow
time-dependent wave information to generate a longshore current, calculate the width of the surf
zone, and channel infilling by sections with different ambient depths along the channel.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This CHETN was written by Dr. Nicholas C. Kraus of the
U.S. Army Research and Development Center (ERDC), Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory and
by Dr. Magnus Larson, University of Lund, Sweden. The research was jointly supported by the
Coastal Inlets Research Program, Inlet Channels and Adjacent Shorelines Work Unit, and by the
Coastal Navigation and Sedimentation Program, Diagnostic Modeling System Work Unit.
