| Abstract |
In the present study, the impact of the storm event on the bed morphology of a typical Belgian coastal profile, is numerically simulated. The simulations are performed using the open-source model XBeach, which is capable of representing hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes in coastal areas. The objective is to evaluate the performance of XBeach through a sensitivity analysis, in which various model parameter (numerical and physical) settings, are considered. It was found that the model’s predictions are, in general, reasonable, while extensive grid resolution analysis led to suggestions for the optimal use of non-equidistant grids in the cross-shore direction. |
