The economical and ecological importance of tidal inlets have fostered the development of empirical tools for inlet management during the last century. This study aims at confronting these empirical theories with recent ...

We propose an empirical law for vertical nodal placement in tidal simulations that depends on a single parameter, p. The influence of dimensionless numbers on the optimal value of p is analysed through a series of numerical ...

The efficient resolution of the boundary layers occurring in geophysical flows has motivated the search for criteria to optimize the vertical nodal placement in three-dimensional shallow water models. This paper describes ...

Coastal area morphodynamic modeling systems couple modules for tidal hydrodynamics, wave propagation, sediment transport and bottom update. The non-linear coupling between these modules generates spurious oscillations and ...

Morphodynamic modeling systems are being subjected to a growing development over the last decade and increasingly appear as valuable tools for understanding and predicting coastal dynamics and morphological changes. The ...

Due to the increasing sand demand for construction and beach nourishment, offshore extraction is being considered as an alternative source. Long term morphological changes caused by such an extraction must be predicted ...
