SEDIMENTATION PROCESS STUDY AT ENTRANCE CHANNEL,CASE STUDY: PULAU BAAI PORT

ABSTRACT
Dynamical process in tidal inlet or entrance channel is affected by littoral transport due to wave action and onshore-offshore transport due to tidal action. The equation to formulate the relationship between depth and other parameters such as tide velocity, sediment discharge due to tide, and littoral drift in tidal inlet. The equation in this thesis is defined by applying continuity equation of sediment. It can then be used to predict variation of depth in time as the function of sediment discharge out of the inlet and sediment discharge into the inlet and also to predict equilibrium depth at entrance channel.
