Numerical Investigation of the Impact of Jetties on Accretion Problem at Rosetta Promontory, Egypt
Ali Masria, Abdelazim Negm, Moheb Iskander, and Oliver C. Saavedra
Abstract—Estuaries are very sensitive and vulnerable to any
interventions in coastal dynamics. Erosion began to take place
since the beginning of the 20th century along Rosetta area, and
increased dramatically since the construction of the High Dam
in 1964. Many protective works have been implemented and/ or
under construction since 1989 and up to the present time.
Erosion is not the only problem facing the area but also, the
accumulation of sediments inside the inlet is also taking place
because of the littoral drift and the absence of the outflow of
water from Rosetta branch. This paper aims to reach a new
condition of stability of Rosetta Promontory by using boundary
jetties to reduce coastal dynamics at the outlet. Moreover the
effect of the angle of the western jetty was investigated to reach
suitable position of it. This target is achieved by using a
hydrodynamic model Coastal Modeling System (CMS). About
eight scenarios were tested to reach suitable solutions that
mitigate the coastal problems at the inlet specially the accretion
problem. The results show that 360 m jetty combined with an
inclined western jetty of 800 m length enhances the stability of
the inlet.
