Tuan, T.Q. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Visser, P.J. (author), Stive, M. (author)For management of coastal breaching hazards it is critical to be able to assess the potential of coastal barrier breaching as a result of wave actions during storm surges (wave overwash). This phenomenon is known as the breach initiation phase; the mechanisms behind this are not very well understood. In the present study, laboratory experiments...conference paper 2006

Visser, P.J. (author)A mathematical model for breach growth in sand-dikes and dunes is described. The model is based on the five-step breach erosion process as observed in several laboratory experiments and the Zwin 89 field experiment. A simplified Galappatti (1983) pick up mechanism for sand from the bed is combined with Bagnold's (1963) modified (Visser, 1988)...report 1994
