The coastal erosion feature and morphological evolution at the Feiyantan coast are studied in the light of the topography and section depth, and the corresponding dynamics of wave and current. Results indicate that the protruding topography left after the Diaokou River distributary was abandoned is the main cause of strong coastal erosion. Further research suggests that waves start up the sediment and the tidal current transports it, and the waves and tidal current are combined to be the dominant dynamic mechanism of coastal erosion, in which the tidal residual current takes and transports the sediment outward, thus causing the sediment to wane in the coast.展开更多
