Effect of offshore structures on shoreline evolution, Atlantic Generating Station

Creators

Description

A distorted scale hydraulic model investigation was performed to determine the potential effect, if any, of a proposed offshore nuclear power plant on shoreline evolution. Model measurements of current patterns and breaking wave characteristics (height, depth and angle to shoreline) were used to calculate longshore transport rates in the potentially affected areas. It was concluded that the proposed construction would have a negligible effect on future shoreline evolution
