Modelling gravel barrier profile response to combined waves and tides using XBeach: Laboratory and field results
TL;DR: XBeach, a process-based numerical model capable of computing nearshore circulation and morphodynamics, including overwash and breaching, has been used in 1D mode to simulate erosion occurring on a gravel barrier beach (D50 ǫ = 11 mm) subjected to wave and tidal forcing during selected tests undertaken during the BARDEX experiments.

Response of sand dunes to variations in tidal flow: Fraser Estuary, Canada
Ray Kostaschuk,James L. Best +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) is used to measure three-dimensional velocity profiles and estimate sediment transport and a digital echosounder is measured bed profiles and dune characteristics.

Modelling the effect of time-dependent river dune evolution on bed roughness and stage
Andries Paarlberg,Catarine M. Dohmen-Janssen,Suzanne J.M.H. Hulscher,A.P.P. Termes,Ralph Mathias Johannes Schielen +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an approach to incorporate time-dependent dune evolution in the determination of bed roughness coefficients applied in hydraulic models, which helps to reduce uncertainties in flow models, especially for river systems with strong variations in discharge with time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sediment resuspension mechanisms and their contributions to high-turbidity events in a large lake
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution field data, collected during April to October of 2008-2009, were analyzed to investigate the quantitative contribution of sediment resuspension to high-turbidity events in central Lake Erie.

Simulating morphodynamics with unstructured grids: Description and validation of a modeling system for coastal applications
TL;DR: In this article, a 2DH unstructured grid morphodynamic modeling system is presented, which includes the implementation of an adaptive morphodynamic time step, the integration and full coupling of a wave model and the forcing by large scale wave and tide models.
