About Longshore Sediment Transport

A short writing about longshore sediment transport as a note-taking thingie. Also, I wanna try the formula plugin in this platform, but SADLY, it only works for inline equation and not for the other. Thats why the equations are ugly here. Help me if you know something. Anyway…. Longshore sediment transport rate (LST) is the volume of sediment which moved parallel to the coastline per unit time ($latex Q_{LST}$). LST can occur in two alongshore direction following the breaking wave angle. Conventionally, LST is assigned positive when the sediment is transported to the right hand side of an observer looking out to the sea, and vice versa. The net LST is the sum of the positive and negative component, while the gross LST is the sum of the magnitude of both directions. (more…)...

Interface Matlab dan Octave

Matlab adalah salah satu software computing yang cukup powerful dengan GUI dan bahasa yang relatif mudah dipelajari. Juga salah satu software favorit saya. Sayangnya software ini berbayar dan cukup mahal. Untungnya untuk students, ada student version yang bisa diperoleh dengan harga sekitar 500k - 1jt rupiah (tergantung kurs tentunya). Alternative free-software yang cukup dekat dengan Matlab adalah Octave dan Sci-Lab. Pertama, mari kita lihat interface Octave apabila dibandingkan dengan Matlab. (more…)...
