Morphological instability in restored intertidal flats: How anthropogenic structures drive early‐stage evolution

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
The study focusses on the morphological evolution of worldwide restored intertidal flats. These intertidal flats initially experience high sedimentation rates after the opening of the connection with open waters. The anthropogenic structures cause high morphological instability and are eroded, leading to a self‐cannibalisation of the system.

Analysis of Turbulent Modeling for Free‐Surface Flows Using a Hybrid RANS‐LES Model and Particle‐Based Moving Particle Semi‐Implicit Method

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 321-347, March 2026.
A hybrid RANS‐LES turbulence model adapted for the Moving Particle Semi‐implicit method is employed to investigate a turbulent free surface flow. A method based on the cell‐linked list is proposed to speed up the nearest wall search for the turbulence model.

Eastern United States: Potential Range for Ecologically Based Coastal Defenses in 2100

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
These maps show where black mangroves can potentially thrive along the US east coast by the end of the 21st century under several climate scenarios. Similar work was done for oyster reefs and saltmarshes. ABSTRACT Eco‐defenses (mangroves, oyster reefs, and saltmarshes) are ecosystems that can help to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and erosion ...

A Mass Conservation Model to Study the Evolution of Coastal Soft Cliffs Driven by Sea Level Rise Over Multi‐Century Timescales

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Soft cliffed coasts are particularly vulnerable to erosion and their retreat depends on environmental, geological and geomechanical factors. In this work, we use a mathematical modeling approach to understand effects of future global sea level rise on these coasts over multiple centuries.

Wave Transmision on Interlocking Concrete Block Submerged Breakwater

open access: yesJurnal Teknik Hidraulik, 2018
When a large dimension of rock needed for an armored layer of breakwater, the scarcity of it became a major adversity, because of that many research subject of using concrete as a substitute for rock performed.

Transformation of statistical and spectral wave periods crossing a smooth low-crested structure

open access: yesOceanologia, 2012
We carried out experimental studies of a smooth submerged breakwater in a wave channel in order to study such a structure impacts on thechanges of statistically and spectrally defined representative wave periods as waves cross it.

Influence of Intermittent Submerged Breakwater on the Hydrodynamic Impacts of Infragravity Waves on Fringing Reef

open access: yesRedai dili
Coral reef systems are vital natural barriers that dissipate wave energy and protect coastlines. However, anthropogenic damage has severely compromised this protective function, necessitating restoration efforts such as submerged breakwaters.

SUBMERGED CONCRETE CAISSON BREAKWATER CONSTRUCTION

open access: yesProceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2016
After numerical and physical modeling, and alternate analysis, the proposed solution to mitigate wave energies entering Kahului Harbor, Maui was to construct a submerged concrete caisson breakwater, just outside the harbor that would economically improve the harbor tranquility and be environmentally friendly. One of the major challenges of this project

Optimization Analysis of the Shape and Position of a Submerged Breakwater for Improving Floating Body Stability

open access: yes한국해양공학회지
Submerged breakwaters can be installed underneath floating structures to reduce the external wave loads acting on the structure. The objective of this study was to establish an optimization analysis framework to determine the corresponding shape and ...
