QUANTIFICATION OF TIDAL WATERTABLE OVERHEIGHT DUE TO THE SLOPING BEACH IN UNCONFINED AQUIFERS

[摘要] Based on a liberalized one-dimensional Boussinesq model and the previous study results, this paper provides two experience solutions to quantify the tidal groundwater overheight behind arbitrary sloping beaches. One solution is obtained with an asymptotic matching method advanced by Guo, and the other solution is origined by the analytical solution as perturbation parameter less than unity, the errors of both solutions compared with numerical solution are small and acceptive for the application.
