Abstract:

This report is a users guide for the Beach Morphology Analysis Package BMAP, which consists of automated and interactive procedures to analyze morphologic and dynamic properties of beach profiles. The BMAP is a computation utility developed to support desktop computer simulation studies of cross-shore modeling of storm-induced beach erosion for beach fill design. The BMAP includes a graphical interface that produces on-screen plots of user selected profiles and calculation results that are easily exported to a printer. The present report covers Version 1 of BMAP which is capable of two-dimensional analysis, that is, analysis of beach profiles. This guide provides information to operate BMAP as a stand-alone program under the Disk Operating System DOS running on a personal computer PC.
