Numerical Study over the Effects of a Designed Submerged Breakwater on the Coastal Sediment Transport in the Pescara Harbour (Italy)

In 1997, in front of the Pescara Harbour (Italy), a detached breakwater was constructed. In the successive years, the sediment transport due to the combined action of waves and coastal currents, in the area between the detached breakwater and the entrance of the Pescara Harbour, produced an accumula...
