“…Over the past several decades, considerable progress has been made in physics-based models based on wave action and momentum balance principles. Various numerical models have been used to estimate hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and morphological changes in coastal areas (e.g., Rego et al, 2010;Trouw et al, 2012;Li and Huang, 2013;Boudet et al, 2017;Luijendijk et al, 2017;Hopkins et al, 2017;Yao et al, 2018;Luan et al, 2018;Herrling and Winter, 2018;Yao et al, 2018;Liang et al, 2020;van Ormondt et al, 2020;Johnson et al, 2021;Ruiz-Reina and López-Ruiz, 2021;Rey et al, 2020;Kim et al, 2020;King et al, 2021;Zhu et al, 2021). For example, Hu et al (2018) applied the Delft3D modeling suite to study the influence of Hurricane Sandy (2012) on salt marsh morphology in Jamaica Bay.…”
