Predicting Crenulate Bay Profiles from Wave Fronts: Numerical Experiments and Empirical Formulae

For crenulate-shaped bays, the coastal outline assumes a specific shape related to the predominant waves in the area: it generally consists of a tangential zone downcoast and a curved portion upcoast. Many coastal engineers have attempted to derive an expression of the headland bay shapes that emerg...
