TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development of a mathematical model designed to be used by coastal engineers to study the effects of groynes on shingle beaches and predict the evolution of a beach under wave action, over a period of several years.
Abstract: The paper describes the development of a mathematical model designed to be used by coastal engineers to study the effects of groynes on shingle beaches. The main task of the model is to predict the evolution of a beach under wave action, over a period of several years, for alternative groyne profiles and spacings. Both alongshore and cross-shore sediment transport mechanisms are included.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of a shingle beach with groynes is described, given information on its initial position and information on wave conditions just offshore, and the model includes a method for dealing with varying water levels as the result of tidal rise and fall.
Abstract: This report describes the development of a mathematical model of a shingle beach with groynes. The development of the beach plan shape is calculated given information on its initial position and information on wave conditions just offshore. Different groyne profiles and spacings can be specified, so that alternative groyne systems can be investigated. The model includes a method for dealing with varying water levels as the result of tidal rise and fall.
