In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of changes in storm wave height and water level on beach response in a medium-scale wave flume. A schematic storm was simulated (rising, apex, and waning phases). A non-int...

Wind is a significant factor influencing the stability of breakwater armor stones. However, few existing studies have considered the effects of wind on these structures. In this study, two-dimensional laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the ...

Wave overtopping, mainly caused by growing coastal erosion processes, directly affects populations, causing coastal flooding and potential damages. This work aims to develop the relationship between overtopping phenomena and their impact costs through an...

Dredging materials from reef flats have become an important source of sand and aggregates for meeting the infrastructure needs of coral-lined shores in subtropical and tropical regions, especially for low-lying atoll islands. Dredging at the reef flats c...

In sediment mechanics, the conditions for the onset of sediment movement are of particular importance. However, despite decades of research, questions remain unanswered. Thus, physical logic suggests that sediments move more easily on beds inclined in th...

Many populated, tropical coastlines fronted by fringing coral reefs are exposed to wave-driven marine flooding that is exacerbated by sea-level rise. Most fringing coral reefs are not alongshore uniform, but bisected by shore-normal channels; however, li...

The assessment of the vulnerability of a site to tsunami events should take into consideration the geomorphological setting, which is strongly determined by the stratigraphic framework of the area. Lampedusa island is located in the central portion of th...

We present a fully coupled 2DV morphodynamic model, implemented in OpenFOAM® that is capable of simulating swash-zone morphodynamics of sandy beaches. The hydrodynamics are described by the Reynolds-averaged Navier?Stokes (RANS) equations with a k&#x...

Wave runup is a relevant parameter to determine the storm impact on barrier islands. Here, the role of the beach morphology on wave runup and storm impact was investigated at four coastal communities located on the northern Yucatan coast. Current wave co...
