Modelling storm impacts on beaches, dunes and barrier islands

An experimental study on sediment transport and bed evolution under different swash zone morphological conditions

“…Brocchini (2006) reviewed this concept and illustrated the use of integral swash models to formulate shoreline boundary conditions (SBC). Recently, hydrodynamic numerical models have been proposed that include swash zone hydrodynamics with different degrees of complexity (Roelvink et al, 2009;Van Dongeren and Svendsen, 1997). In particular, Roelvink et al (2009) proposed a morphodynamic numerical model including swash processes in the hydrodynamics by means of the Generalized Lagrangian Mean (GLM) formulation (Andrews and Mc Intyre, 1978) and several swash zone processes in the sediment transport sub-modules, e.g.…”

Uniendo ingeniería y ecología: la protección costera basada en ecosistemas

“…Una sucinta revisión de modelos, herramientas y ejemplos para ayudar en la valoración cuantitativa de la protección se puede encontrar [72]. Otras revisiones y documentos se pueden consultar [48,[73][74][75]. También, en la 'web' 'Coastal Resilience' [76] proporciona información sobre experiencias y proyectos que reportan beneficios de protección (Figura 5).…”

Sensitivity analysis of climate change impacts on dune erosion: case study for the Dutch Holland coast

“…XBeach has been described extensively, for example by Roelvink et al (2009) andMcCall et al (2010) and Splinter and Palmsten (2012). Therefore, we forgo this description here.…”

“…The assumption of cross-shore response only is however seriously criticized, and precludes its use in regions with large gradients in alongshore sand transports, such as near headlands or tidal inlets. Ruessink et al (2012) have argued that to investigate this, a more general process-based approach is needed, for example by conducting simulation using the XBeach model (Roelvink et al 2009). This is confirmed by Van Rijn (2009) and who indicate an increase in dune erosion with shore oblique waves.…”
