ECS-SS2 | NUMERICAL MODELLING OF SWASH ZONE MORPHODYNAMICS: METHODS, PROCESSES AND PHYSICAL INSIGHTS
Theme:
Estuaries, Coasts and Seas (ECS)
Short description on the session:
The session will address numerical modelling of swash zone processes. This will be from the point of view of working toward better modelling so as to achieve a better understanding of the physics, and therefore of the beach behaviour. This is important because net beach change is typically the (small) difference between two large quantities (in the swash, the uprush and backwash). So, accurate modelling depends on an appropriate representation of the controlling processes, as well as accurate and reliable numerical methods. And efficient, reduced.
