Abstract

Sediment transport and, consequently, the beach profile changes in the swash zone are important to the overall sediment budget and beach profile evolution because the hydrodynamic condition in this zone is complex. One of the swash zone morphodynamic difficulties is estimating the beach profile accretion and erosion above the mean water level. Although there have been considerable studies and investigations into the swash zone morphodynamic, numerical models for predicting sediment transport rate and beach profile changes are limited. Therefore, this study examined a morphodynamic numerical model to predict beach profile evolution in the swash zone using a nearshore beach profile dataset measured at the Narrabeen-Collaroy beach, Australia.
