Abstract

Morphodynamic models are a great support in water environment management and decision-making, as well as in integrated coastal zone planning. In the present paper, a 2DH model is presented, able to deal with both currents, waves and their mutual interaction. The model is briefly presented and the results of its application to some benchmark tests are discussed.

Highlights

  • Morphodynamic models are numerical models able to couple the hydrodynamic issue to the sediment transport analysis and to the morphological evolution that represents the changes in bottom height due to sediment transport

  • Two configurations were chosen among those originally presented by van Rijn; their geometric and hydrodynamic conditions are summed up in table 1 and sediments and morphodynamic characteristics are summarized in table 2

  • With a view to developing a model useful in coastal and riverine environments, a morphodynamic model is presented in the present paper and applied to some validation tests
