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...

Erosive bar migration using density and diameter scaled sediment

Mobile bed scaling (for scales smaller than 1:1) does not allow for ideal similarity between all nondimensional parameters. This leads to an exaggerated presence of one process over another or the development of scale effects. The complexity of the surf zone makes it especially difficult to separate and quantify the effect of sediment scaling on...
