. Analytical solutions of the one-line model of shoreline change. Coast changes; Beach erosion; Shore protection. 4 6 TIME (et/aa) Figure 8. Percentage of sand volume lost from a rectangular fill as a function of dimensionless time Sand has to be added to the corner of the fill at the following rate: 2y, Q = (27) The spread of the moving shoreline front (Equation 26) is illustrated in Figure 9. 37. It is advisable to use the analytical expressions describing shore- line evolution for a rectangular fill with great care, even for rough estima- tions, because the linearization procedure (Equation 8) is based on small shoreline orientation angles, a condition which is violated on the sides of the rectangle. In fact, the linearized transport equation implies an infi- nitely large initial sand transport rate at the edges of the fill. However, the original transport equation (Equation 7) gives a zero transport rate at the corners; thus, a rectangular beach form is stable to parallel incident waves. In reality, sand transport occurs at the corners because of 22.
