YEARLY SIMULATION WITH A COMPLETE NON LINEAR 2DHMODEL FOR NOURISHMENT STRATEGIES ON MEDITERRANEANBEACHES

摘要

A modified 2DH morphodynamic model was employed to simulate the evolution of large-scale features with major implications for beach nourishment. The study is focused on modeling the evolution of material artificially placed in different parts of the profile, extracting or adding material to the natural bars, and quantifying how the profile responds to different wave climates and nourishment placements. The simulated results were compared with field data from a Mediterranean beach.
