Morphological and sedimentological response of a mixed-energy barrier island tidal inlet to storm and fair-weather conditions

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of high-energy, wave-dominated storm conditions to mid-term, tide-dominated fair-weather conditions on the morphology and sedimentology of the mixed-energy tidal inlet Otzumer Balje between the East Frisian barrier islands of Langeoog and Spiekeroog in the southern North Sea has been compared.

Headland sand bypassing — Quantification of net sediment transport in embayed beaches, Santa Catarina Island North Shore, Southern Brazil

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive study of headland bypassing around seven headlands with different orientations and degrees of wave and tide-induced current exposure, located on the northern shore of Santa Catarina island, southern Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the genesis and evolution of barchan dunes: morphodynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, a large-eddy simulation approach was used to study the evolution of barchan dunes in a subaqueous environment by employing a simulation approach that couples turbulent flow and sand-bed morphodynamics.

Guidance on Setup, Calibration, and Validation of Hydrodynamic, Wave, and Sediment Models for Shelf Seas and Estuaries

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of model performance guidelines for shelf sea and estuarine modellers seeking to demonstrate to clients and end users that a model is fit for purpose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observed and predicted bed forms and their effect on suspended sand concentrations

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of bed forms on suspended sand concentrations was studied and three existing bed form predictors were compared to field and laboratory measurements over a wide range of conditions and proposed a new predictor that better collapses the measured bed form dimensions.
