Oil pollution: human damages on hydraulic regime in sandy beach ecosystems
Various anthropogenic pollutants ultimately threaten coastal areas. One of the most significant anthropogenic pollution is oil pollution. It is estimated that 1.7- 8.8 X 106 tons of petroleum hydrocarbon are released into marine environment annually (Natu

Preface
In this book, the authors address present-day methodology to explore natural phenomena. Highly advanced computational fluid mechanics contributes to the rationalization of experimental work. By taking sandy beach and tidal flat ecosystems as an example, results from interdisciplinary collaboration between environmental experimentalists and applied mathematicians are presented in an interactive manner. In 1994, an environment
