The role of cuspate spits on wave attenuation and energy redistribution in a coastal lagoon, Lagoa dos Patos, Brazil

Abstract: This research uses a process-based model (Delft3D), validated with measured wave data, to investigate the controls that a cuspate shoreline and its associated submerged morphology have on wave generation, propagation and attenuation within a large elongated lagoon (Lagoa dos Patos, Brazil). A method based on the Energy-Flux-Method was applied to the historical wind dataset to define representative wind cases to be used as forcing conditions in the model. The results show that, during extreme wind conditions, t… Show more

“…Onsite observations made during data collection indicate that the wave propagation behavior described in this study is not solely responsible for erosion on the banks of the lake, since it may also be associated with wind tracks, human activities, deposit of transported sediments resulting from operations at the power plant, as well as other factors such as those indicated by Miranda et al (2020) andSajinkumar et al (2020).…”
