Enhancement and Development of Numerical Models for Simulating Coastal Sediment Transport and Morphology Evolution

Abstract

The main objectives of the research reported here were: (1) to develop an analytical model of erosion due to wave impact and sediment transport in the overwash; (2) to validate the model with high-quality field data; and (3) to develop methods to employ the model for estimating the statistical properties of morphological response in connection with storms based on long time series of input data on waves and water level.
