Abstract: This study work has been conducted for estimation of longshore sediment transport and coastline evolution as well. Dedicated hydrodynamic model using MIKE 21 FM is developed, calibrated, and validated for studying nearshore hydrodynamic analysis and hydrodynamic result is used as input in LITDRIFT and LITLINE model. Dedicated wave model has been developed using MIKE 21 SW and the simulated wave climate has been used in LITDRIFT model and LITLINE model. Simulated hydrodynamics of coupled wave-tide model are used in LITDRIFT model to estimate the rate of longshore sediment transport. It is found that overall net sediment ......
