According to L
OWRY AND
C
ARTER
(1982
apud

ARTER
, 1988)
there are two types of cell boundary - fixed and free, which
comprise three different configurations: divide or divergent drift,
meet or convergent drift and pu
lse (same drift direction). The
classification of boundaries was ma
de based on the direction of
longshore current, obtained from the
equation 2. It was made in
GIS environment for each swell (table1).
