Modelling the response of a double‐barred sandy beach system to time‐varying wave angles

Abstract: Summary Sandy beaches typically have one or more shore‐parallel bars with superimposed smaller‐scale three‐dimensional (3D) bars. Knowledge of their morphodynamic behaviour under more realistic wave conditions is limited. This study investigates the response of beaches with two shore‐parallel bars to sinusoidally time‐varying angles of incidence, using a non‐linear morphodynamic model. Different periods and amplitudes of this sinusoidal variation are considered, as well as different time‐mean wave angles. For … Show more

“…Including time-variable wave angles does not affect migration rates (Nnafie et al, 2020), but they decrease for larger grain sizes (Dong et al, 2015) or when including roller dynamics (Ribas et al, 2011). Finally, merging and splitting (as observed at Castelldefels) is clearly enhanced for variable offshore wave conditions (Castelle & Ruessink, 2011;Nnafie et al, 2020Nnafie et al, , 2021, due to the system adjusting to the new forcing.…”

“…However, the comparison can only be done qualitatively, as the bathymetries and wave conditions in the models were most of the time ; see also Price et al 2013). More advanced models that include directional spreading in the wave forcing (Reniers et al, 2004;Smit et al, 2008) or use a time-variable wave angle (Castelle & Ruessink, 2011;Nnafie et al, 2020Nnafie et al, , 2021, cross-shore transport (Rutten et al, 2019) or algorithms to evaluate the cumulative effects of waves and their variations (Tiessen et al, 2010), predict formation for larger angles but still fail to reproduce the wide range of angles at which formation occurs at Castelldefels beach. The same applies to crescentic bar straightening, which is observed for angles much larger than those predicted by models (Garnier et al, 2013).…”
