Obtaining water elevation in the lagoon and cross-sectionally averaged velocity of the tidal inlet by using one-dimensional hydraulic equation——a case study in Xincun InletLinshui,Hainan,China;

Stability analysis and equilibrium area calculation of tidal inlet——A case study in Xincun inlet,Linshui,Hainan Island;

Tidal inlets are common geomophological features in sandy coasts in the world.

The Caofeidian harbor for the new gigantic steel enterprise in China is located at the inlet of tidal bay having deep tideway.

Studies on the sediment transport pattern, deposition rate and tidal inlet evolution of Jiaozhou Bay were made, and it is shown from the study results that the net suspended sediment transport within the entrance channel directed towards the open sea, and the bay is characterized by lower suspended sediment concentration, less sediment supply and lower deposition rate.
