This review focuses on recent advances in process-based numerical models of the impact of
extreme storms on sandy coasts. Driven by larger-scale models of meteorology and …

Computer modeling of sediment transport patterns is generally recognized as a valuable
tool for understanding and predicting morphological developments. In practice, state-of-the …

The morphology of estuaries and rivers changes constantly due to the dynamic imbalance
between the forcing actions (eg river flow, tides, surface waves and wind) and the …

This book is based on the author's 49 years of experience as a practicing coastal engineer
and 34 years as professor of coastal engineering and management at Queen's University …

Evaluating the performance of numerical models of coastal morphology against
observations is an essential part of establishing their credibility. In the past, this has usually …

Effective coastal engineering is expensive, but it is not as costly as neglect or ineffective
intervention. Good practice needs to be based on sound principles, but theoretical work and …

Process-based morphodynamic Modeling is one of the relatively new tools at the disposal of
coastal scientists, engineers and managers. On paper, it offers the possibility to analyse …

Tidal stream turbines are exploited in regions of high tidal currents. Such energy extraction
will alter the hydrodynamics of a tidal region, analogous to increasing the bed friction in the …

We present a new modeling system for wave‐current interaction based on unstructured
grids and thus suitable for very large‐scale high‐resolution multiscale studies. The coupling …

The Arcachon Lagoon on the French Atlantic coast is a triangular shaped lagoon of 20 km
on a side connected to the ocean by a 3-km wide inlet between the mainland and an …
