| Abstract |
Deltares and IHE Delft Institute for Water Education developed ShorelineS (Roelvink et al, 2020), a 1 line open source code to model longshore transport and coastline changes. Led by Deltares, an international partnership conducted a research project aimed at transforming the existing academic shoreline model ShorelineS (open source code in MATLAB) into a user-friendly engineering tool for long-term shoreline morphology using open software over a period of two years (2022 – 2024). The ambition is to develop this tool into a global community, analogous to XBeach, following the principles of open-source software. Through the Dutch TKI program (TKI stands for Top Consortia for Knowledge and Innovation), co-financing has been granted, based on the in-kind and cash contributions of the partners. Flanders Hydraulics conducted a case study for the Belgian coast, providing feedback that has been useful for the further development of ShorelineS. Among other things, the Belgian case study will allow testing the incorporation of tidal currents, as tides are relatively important for the evolution of the Belgian coastline.
Another important aspect was the incorporation of submerged groins. Up to now, coastline models were only able to model emerged groins. |
