An analytical model to predict dune erosion due to wave impact

Författare

Summary, in English

An analytical model is developed to calculate recession distance and eroded volume for coastal dunes during severe storms. The transport relationship used in the model is based on wave impact theory, where individual swash waves hitting the dune face induce the erosion. Combining this relationship with the sediment volume conservation equation describes the response of the dune to high waves and water levels. Four different data sets on dune erosion, originating from the laboratory and the field, were employed to validate the model and to determine the value of an empirical transport coefficient appearing in the analytical solutions. The time evolution of dune recession observed in the different data sets was well described by the model, but the empirical coefficient showed some variation between cases, especially for the field data. In practical applications of the model, it is recommended to use a range of coefficient values to include an uncertainty estimate of calculated quantities, such as recession distance and eroded volume.
