Numerical Modeling of Coastal Processes

Course content

Overview of current modeling methods (SPH, Reef3D, Delft3D, Mike, Telemac, SMS, Untrim), their fields of application, limitations and recent developments. Fundamentals of numerical modeling, numerical modeling of sea state, wave action equation, mild slope equation, phase-averaged and phase-resolved wave modeling, tidal flow, transport processes of sediments and salt, modeling of erosion processes and coastal barrier failure due to storm surges, applications of open source and internationally accepted numerical models for modeling with e.g. Delft3D, SWAN and XBeach.
