Cross-shore morphodynamics of coarse grained beaches and beach/structure interaction : numerical modelling and large scale measurements

Coastal defence systems are implemented in many countries for the stability of coastlines and prevention of erosion and flooding. The maintenance of such schemes includes the use of 'soft' engineering techniques, which require accurate predictions of sediment transport and profile change....
