Study of the Evolution of Sanur Beach Nourishment Project for Beach Enhancement

Abstract

Beach nourishment, or also commonly known as beach fill, is a technique widely used in coastal engineering to rehabilitate eroded beaches or create new beaches and widen existing beaches. However, once an instance of beach filling has occurred, it needs to be repeated on a regular basis because the new beach would be more prone to abrasion than natural beaches. This paper describes the of beach change based on numerical modeling in the study of the evolution of a beach nourishment project. The measured beach profile, wave height and sediment in Sanur beach, Bali are used for the numerical analysis based on the existing studies are applied in the analysis of the beach. The simulation results show that there are three segment of the coastal area in between the groin need to be overcome.
