Abstract

ABSTRACT Hesp, Patrick A. and Smyth, T.A.G., 2016. Surfzone-Beach-Dune interactions: Review; and flow and sediment transport across the intertidal beach and backshore. In: Vila-Concejo, A.; Bruce, E.; Kennedy, D.M., and McCarroll, R.J. (eds.), Proceedings of the 14th International Coastal Symposium (Sydney, Australia). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue, No. 75, pp.8–12. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The original wave-beach-dune model (Hesp, 1982) stated that in the medium to long term, modal dissipative beaches display maximum onshore wave driven sediment transport, maximum aeolian transport off beaches, the largest foredune heights and volumes, and the largest Holocene dunefields. Modal reflective beaches display the opposite, while modal intermediate beaches display a trend in these from relatively high to relatively low sediment transport, foredune volumes, and Holocene barrier volumes with a trend from dissipative to reflective. New Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modelling of fl...
