Mil Homens, J.P. (author), Ranasinghe, R.W.M.R.J.B. (author), Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Longshore sediment transport (LST) is one of the main drivers of beach morphology. Bulk LST formulas are routinely used in coastal management/engineering studies to assess LST rates and gradients. However, there is still great uncertainty in LST estimation with these bulk formulas. This uncertainty may have two sources: 1) experimental errors in...conference paper 2013

Mil-Homens, J.P. (author), Ranasinghe, R.W.M.R.J.B. (author), Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Longshore sediment transport (LST) is one of the main drivers of beach morphology. Bulk LST formulas are routinely used in coastal management/engineering studies to assess LST rates and gradients. Over 50 years of research has resulted in several bulk LST formulas that have been tested with varying levels of rigor. In this study, the predictive...conference paper 2012

Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Van Dongeren, A.R. (author), McCall, R. (author), Reniers, A. (author)The effect of the longshore dimension on dune erosion is examined numerically with a 2DH process based model XBeach. Exploratory simulations are presented to examine longshore effects due to directionally spread waves, longshore variation in topography and longshore variation in bathymetry. The simulations reveal that alongshore sediment...conference paper 2011
