This paper discusses the abilities of numerical models to predict the morphodynamics over sandy beds. In the first part the sediment transport model is presented which solves the bed evolution equation in conjunction with sediment transport formulas. The flow field and the water depth are calculated using the depth-averaged hydrodynamic model TELEMAC-2D. The work consisted in setting up the met...

In the current practice of sandy shoreline change assessments, the local sedimentary budget is evaluated using the sediment balance equation, that is, by summing the contributions of longshore and cross-shore processes. The contribution of future sea-level rise induced by climate change is usually obtained using the Bruun rule, which assumes that the shoreline retreat is equal to the change of ...

Cliff-top boulder deposits (CBDs) are morphological indicators of high-energy conditions. Since 2014, a monitoring CBDs dynamics has been undertaken on the south-western coast Iceland (Reykjanes Peninsula) to monitor their long-term activation (quarrying, transport and deposition) as proxy inter-annual winter storminess variations basaltic cliff erosion processes in context rocky progradation. ...

in this paper, the large amount of sedimentation and the resultant shoreline advancements at the breakwaters of beris fishery port are studied. a series of numerical modeling of waves, sediment transport, and shoreline changes were conducted to predict the complicated equilibrium shoreline. the outputs show that the nearshore directions of wave components are not perpendicular to the coast whic...

The GENESIS model has proven its capabilities in numerous projects worldwide for simulating shoreline change and longshore sediment transport on wave-dominated beaches. Even though the model has been made generally applicable to “almost arbitrary” configurations of shoreline shapes and structural measures, some important features are not yet represented. This paper describes a new major capabil...
