Modelling storm impacts on beaches, dunes and barrier islands
Dano Roelvink,Dano Roelvink,Ad Reniers,Ad Reniers,Ap van Dongeren,Jaap van Thiel de Vries,Robert McCall,Jamie Lescinski +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a nearshore numerical model approach to assess the natural coastal response during time-varying storm and hurricane conditions, including dune erosion, overwash and breaching, is validated with a series of analytical, laboratory and field test cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-dimensional time dependent hurricane overwash and erosion modeling at Santa Rosa Island
Robert McCall,J.S.M. van Thiel de Vries,Nathaniel G. Plant,A. R. van Dongeren,J.A. Roelvink,J.A. Roelvink,David M. Thompson,Ad Reniers,Ad Reniers +8 more
TL;DR: A 2DH numerical model which is capable of computing nearshore circulation and morphodynamics, including dune erosion, breaching and overwash, is used to simulate overwash caused by Hurricane Ivan (2004) on a barrier island as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Most atolls will be uninhabitable by the mid-21st century because of sea-level rise exacerbating wave-driven flooding.

TL;DR: It is shown that, on the basis of current greenhouse gas emission rates, the nonlinear interactions between sea-level rise and wave dynamics over reefs will lead to the annual wave-driven overwash of most atoll islands by the mid-21st century.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the most common type of IG waves, those induced by the presence of groups in incident short waves, and three related mechanisms explain their generation: (1) the development, shoaling and release of waves bound to the short-wave group envelopes (2) the modulation by these envelopes of the location where short waves break, and (3) the merging of bores (breaking wave front, resembling to a hydraulic jump) inside the surfzone.
