Modelling shoreline evolution in the vicinity of shore normal structures: Implementation and validation of ShorelineS model using the case study of Constanta, Romania

While waves are propagating towards the shore and are interrupted by an obstacle like a groyne, they will turn around the tip into the sheltered region of the groyne. This sheltered region is called the shadow zone and contains a reduced wave climate. The turning of the waves is based on the lateral transfer of wave energy along the wave crest,...
