Sediment transport and morphological response to nearshore nourishment projects on wave-dominated coasts Open
Nearshore nourishments are constructed for shoreline protection from waves, to provide sediment nourishment to the beach profile, and to beneficially use dredged sediment from navigation channel maintenance. However, it is poorly understoo…

Feedback between Basin Morphology and Sediment Transport at Tidal Inlets: Implications for Channel Shoaling Open
Increasing societal pressures (e.g., population growth and urbanization) are driving land use change practices in coastal areas that could potentially alter the hydrodynamics and sediment transport patterns near coastal inlets in ways that…

An optimized combined wave and current bottom boundary layer model for arbitrary bed roughness Open
A robust method for computing the bed shear stress in unstratified combined wave and current flows is presented.The present approach follows from existing theories describing the nonlinear wave and current interaction in the benthic bounda…

Long-Term Morphological Modeling of Barrier Island Tidal Inlets Open
The primary focus of this study is to apply a two-dimensional (2-D) coupled flow-wave-sediment modeling system to simulate the development and growth of idealized barrier island tidal inlets. The idealized systems are drawn from nine U.S. …
