Numerical cross-shore profile evolution models have been good at predicting beach erosion
during storm conditions, but have difficulty in predicting the accretion of the beach during …

Although relatively common features in nature, only a handful of laboratory studies have
examined the dynamic response of gravel beaches and barriers to combined tidal and wave …

In this paper, the profiles of three artificial coarse-grained beaches located at Marina di Pisa
(Tuscany, Italy) were monitored from April 2008 to May 2009 in order to define the response …

Although relatively common features, few laboratory studies have examined the dynamic
response of gravel beaches and barriers to both tides and waves. To address this a …

Coarse-grained beaches are particularly prevalent in the UK, composed of accumulations of
either gravel, or mixed sand and gravel sediments. The aim of the work presented in this …

This thesis addresses the need to calibrate longshore sediment transport equations for use
on heavily managed mixed sediment beaches, which are becoming increasingly common …

The depth of sand activation on a beach under the action of waves is a key parameter for
many scientific and applied projects in coastal engineering. Although there is a good …

This paper reports progress made in modifying and applying the X-Beach code to predict
and explain the observed behaviour of coarse grained beaches. In a previous study a …

The effects of tidal level fluctuations on low-energy beaches can become increasingly
important and can affect the beach profile. Therefore, this paper investigates the …

As few prototype-scale laboratory experiments have investigated the dynamic response of
gravel beaches and barriers to tides and waves, a prototype gravel barrier (5 m wide and 4 …
