Engineering parameters for expansion of MPT berths, Goa
Jayakumar, S.; Chandramohan, P.; Jena, B.K.; Pednekar, P.S. (Allied, Chennai (India), 1996)Comprehensive program for a harbour development and management requires general and detailed information on the coastal environment including engineering characteristics in addition to physical, chemical and biological ... -
Littoral drift sources and sinks along the Indian coast
Chandramohan, P.; Jena, B.K.; SanilKumar, V. (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2001)Numerous theoretical and field studies have been carried out to quantify the volume and direction of littoral sediment transport along the Indian coast. Nevertheless, very little effort has been made to identify the sources ... -
Longshore transport based on directional waves along north Tamilnadu Coast, India
Jena, B.K.; Chandramohan, P.; SanilKumar, V. (Coastal Research Foundation, 2001)The accurate assessment of longshore sediment transport pattern along Nagapattinam-Poompuhar, Tamil Nadu, India coastline bears significance due to the historical erosion and its geographical location adjoining the sheltered ... -
Nearshore waves and longshore sediment transport along Rameshwaram Island off the east coast of India
Gowthaman, R.; SanilKumar, V.; Dwarakish, G.S.; Shanas, P.R.; Jena, B.K.; Singh, J. (SNAK, 2015)Wave-induced Longshore Sediment Transport (LST) play an important role in the dynamics of the Dhanushkodi sandspit located southeast of Rameshwaram. The LST along the Dhanushkodi coast is studied based on data collected ... -
Post-tsunami changes in the littoral environment along the southeast coast of India
Jayakumar, S.; Naik, K.A.; Ramanamurthy, M.V.; Ilangovan, D.; Gowthaman, R.; Jena, B.K. (Elsevier, 2008)The 26th December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami devastated coastal regions of the Indian subcontinent. Andaman and Nicobar Islands, coastal stretches of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala were the most affected regions of ... -
RIP current zones along beaches in Goa, west coast of India
Chandramohan, P.; SanilKumar, V.; Jena, B.K. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Goa has a 125-km-long coastline of which two-thirds consists of beautiful sandy beaches. There are mainly 17 beaches having significant importance of tourism. Sporadically, surf drownings have been reported at a few stretches ... -
Seasonal and interannual changes of significant wave height in shelf seas around India during 1998-2012 based on wave hindcast
SanilKumar, V.; Joseph, J.; Amrutha, M.M.; Jena, B.K.; Sivakholundu, K.M.; Dubhashi, K.K. (Pergamon, 2018)Present study examines the interannual changes of significant wave height (Hs) in shelf seas around Indian mainland based on the 15-year (1998-2012) wave hindcast data obtained from numerical model. Validation of the ... -
Sediment transport near the Peninsular tip of India
Jena, B.K.; Chandramohan, P. (Cent. for Earth Sci. Stud., Cochin (India), 1997)Studies were undertaken at Kolachel on the western side of the Peninsular tip from April 1995 to April 1996, for a period of one year. Monthly measurements were made on littoral environment observations (LEO) and beach ... -

Kerkar, J.P.; Jayakumar, S.; Jena, B.K. (Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2020)Wave height trends off three sites along 100 m and 20 m depth contours off the central west coast of India have been estimated using 46 years hindcast-wind-wave data simulated for the Indian Ocean region. The wind waves ...
