Towards a coupled morphodynamic model of the nearshore zone and the beach at the Sand Engine: Combining waves, tide, morphodynamics and aeolian sediment transport into a process-based model

Morphodynamic models are widespread in coastal engineering practice and indispensable to predict the effectiveness of (large-scale) sandy interventions. These models enable quantification of the effects on enhanced safety against flooding and on environmental impact over time, based on physical processes such as hydrodynamics and sediment...

The reset of a subtidal bar during an energetic event: Application to Le Truc Vert beach case (France)

A large number of beach morphologies across the world exhibits nearshore sandbars with complex 3D patterns. During large storms, these shapes disappear and the bars get to a certain extent alongshore uniform. This phenomenon is called a reset. Numerous studies have been conducted on the development of the bar shapes (3D) or on the cross-shore...
