Waves in Oceanic and Coastal Waters
TL;DR: The SWAN wave model as discussed by the authors is a wave model based on linear wave theory (SWAN) for oceanic and coastal waters, and it has been shown to be effective in detecting ocean waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
A summary of European experience with shore nourishment
TL;DR: In this article, a recently completed European collaborative project focused on contributing to the improvement and harmonisation of present design practices for artificial nourishment schemes in Europe is described, and the role of numerical models in design and evaluation is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical simulation of wave climate and extreme beach erosion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Kriebel and Dean's simple beach erosion and accretion model to quantitatively reproduce the extreme beach erosion volumes obtained from field measurements at Narrabeen Beach, Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A predictive Mesoscale model of the erosion and profile development of soft rock shores
Michael Walkden,Jim W. Hall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the development, application and behaviour of a generic model of retreating soft rock (e.g. clay) shores, which represents a broad system, in coastal modelling terms, comprising shore platform, beach, tidal range, wave transformation, cliff and talus.

Detection, measurement and prediction of shoreline recession in Accra, Ghana
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used historical data from 1904, 1974, 1996 and 2002 to estimate, by linear regression, shoreline recession in the Ghanaian coastal region of Accra, and used a variety of techniques ranging from a process-based numerical model, SCAPE, to geometric approaches including historical trend analysis, the modified Bruun model and Sunamura's shore platform model.
