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...
