ANALYTICAL MODEL OF SPIT EVOLUTION AT INLETS
CLASSIFICATION OF PROCESSES GOVERNING SPIT EVOLUTION
ANALYTICAL MODEL
Unrestricted Spit Growth
Fig. 2. Unrestricted spit elongation, constant and with time variation in transport.
Example 2: Spit Growth Restricted by Presence of Inlet Channel
Example 3: Spit Growth Restricted by Inlet Channel and with Increasing D
Example 4: Spit Growth in Presence of Lateral Force
Discussion of Analytical Model Examples
