(TU Delft Coastal Engineering) Contributor Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (promotor) Vuik, V. (copromotor) Degree granting institution Delft University of Technology Date 2023-06-28 Abstract Sandy foreshores, beaches and dunes play an eminent role in flood risk reduction in coastal areas, reducing the impact of wind waves and storm surges on the hinterland. In some areas, sandy protection is naturally present. In other coastal areas, engineering solutions are needed to provide safety. “Soft” sediment-based solutions often serve multiple objectives, including flood safety, but also provide other ecosystem services. Knowledge of morphodynamics of these “soft” solutions (i.e. beaches) is crucial for protecting and managing coastal areas prone to flood risk. The aim of this thesis is to understand and quantify how hydrodynamic processes drive morphological development of low-energy, non-tidal, sandy beaches.
