One method of producing energy is to use a tapered channel (TAPCHAN), which diverts sea water into a reservoir as shown in the figure. As a wave approaches the shore through the closed tapered channel at A, its height will begin to increase until it begins to spill over the sides and into the reservoir. The water in the reservoir then passes through a turbine in the building at C to generate power and is returned to the sea at D. If the speed of the water at A is VA = 2.5 m/s, and the water depth is h4 = 3.4 m. Assume the fluid is an ideal fluid, that is, incompressible and frictionless. (Figure 1)

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
