Abstract
Coastal engineering design studies often rely on detailed numerical models that involve various mono-disciplinary physical processes, complex numerics and large computational demands. As a consequence, these models are particularly useful to address specific questions that arise during project phases focusing on detailed design. In contrast, during early project phases focusing on project feasibility, proof-of-concept and preliminary engineering efforts, these detailed numerical models suffer from their aforementioned characteristics. Now, aspects such as interactivity, flexibility and multi-disciplinary assessment are of importance. Simple yet fast tools and empirical relations offer a lot of potential to fill this gap, but are typically not as systematically developed as detailed numerical models. This results in a deficit in consistent integration of disciplines, robustness, interactivity and potential flexibility.
Highlights
Coastal engineering design studies often rely on detailed numerical models that involve various monodisciplinary physical processes, complex numerics and large computational demands
The tools are linked to a consistent and easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) which is applicable around the globe
The usefulness of the Coastal Design and Support (CoDeS) framework is evident in preliminary design stages, to arrive at promising design solutions and effective communication to clients and stakeholders
Summary
Coastal engineering design studies often rely on detailed numerical models that involve various monodisciplinary physical processes, complex numerics and large computational demands. MOTIVATION In order to support clients and stakeholders in the early design phases of interventions in coastal systems, the Coastal Design and Support (CoDeS) tools framework is developed. This framework combines relatively simple tools and empirical relations to assess various aspects of designs and their impacts. The tools are linked to a consistent and easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) which is applicable around the globe.
