These include breakwater (solid or porous) impacts on wave attenuation and beach process, irregular and breaking wave impacts on sediment transport on beaches, maximum turbidite at the river estuaries and feasibility of natural based protection for coastal flooding.
Model simulation of flow dynamics around offshore breakwaters due to combined waves and tide
Model simulated cross-shore distribution of cross-shore, alongshore and vertical Eulerian and Stokes velocities over bared beach (DUCK94) due to breaking waves.
