Abstract Beaches subjected to erosion and there are many scenarios to protect beaches against erosion, one of these scenarios is constructing breakwaters. There are many types of breakwaters such as rubble mound and caisson; this is from material, which they made from it. In addition, there are many types of it according to the system of it such as detached breakwaters and floating breakwaters and sea wall and groins. The study applies numerical model consists of three modules, wave module, hydrodynamic module and sediment transport module, Damietta harbour and also Ras El Bar resort. The study also makes verification of these harbours , gives some suggestions to improve the effect of the breakwaters in both Damietta harbour and Ras El Bar resort and shows the results of these suggestions and its effects on sediment transport in the both harbours. In this study it is suggested to lengthen the main breakwater of Damietta harbour to control the sediment transport at inlet of the navigable channel. |
