Abstract :

Abstract[1] Nowadays empirical methods as an effective tool for considering coastal process are the best for technical and engineering problems. According to different abilities of empirical methods Because of complexity of sediment transport phenomenon, sufficient studies for choosing the best method in coastal areas appear essential. In this research, wave models, current, sediment transport in the Rig port is examined by different empirical methods. First wind statistics analysis is done and then wind turned to a wave statistics based on SMB method which registered in last 30 years. On coastal weather station of Boushehr in 8 directions and 3-6-9 hours intervals of different speed classes and predicted periods up to 100 last years. Then sediment transport range is calculated by empirical methods. In this research CERC method is selected as sufficient method in this area. This method shows the best compatibility to residential data. * Corresponding Author; Email: [e-mail]
