Beach nourishment—the addition of sand to increase the width or sand volume of the beach—
is a widespread coastal management technique to counteract coastal erosion. Globally …

The swash zone largely influences nearshore hydrodynamics and morphodynamics through
dissipating or reflecting wave energy and controlling whether sediment will be stored on the …

A number of models are available for science and engineering purposes that numerically
simulate nearshore hydrodynamics and the corresponding morphological evolution …

Coastal erosion is an adverse impact of extreme water levels during major hurricanes. A
warmer climate is expected to increase storm surge and wave hazards due to hurricane …

Sandy coastlines are very dynamic spaces affected by a variety of natural and human
factors. In Central Chile, changes in oceanographic and wave conditions, modes of inter …

Modeling wave runup on beaches and structures is an important step toward accurate
coastal flood prediction. Depth-averaged non-hydrostatic models such as XBNH (XBeach …

A large, low pressure Nor'easter storm and Hurricane Joaquin contributed to multiple weeks
of sustained, elevated wave and water level conditions along the southeastern Atlantic coast …

Along sandy coastlines, submerged, shore-parallel sandbars play an essential role in
shoreline morphology by dissipating wave energy through depth-induced wave breaking …

Dunes and beaches are vulnerable to erosion during storm events. Numerical models can
predict beach response to storms with fidelity, but their computational costs, the domain …

Predicting coastal erosion requires an accurate morphodynamic model. XBeach has been
widely adopted to simulate storm-induced coastal erosion. Because of the large number of …
