Application of smoothed particle hydrodynamics in evaluating the performance of coastal retrofit structures [PDF]
, 2018 This study develops an accurate numerical tool for investigating optimal retrofit configurations in order to minimize wave overtopping from a vertical seawall due to extreme climatic events and under changing climate.

WAVE TRANSMISSION ACROSS SUBMERGED NEAR-SURFACE BREAKWATERS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1986 Wave transmission across a submerged breakwater at Santa Monica, California, is examined through a three-dimensional model test. The results agree with empirical criteria previously proposed by Tanaka (1976).

Earth 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.

On Formulae for Wave Transmission at Submerged and Low-Crested Breakwaters
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Submerged and low-crested breakwaters are nearshore barriers with an underwater or slightly emergent crest, designed to reduce the energy of wave attacks and, consequently, to protect the coast from erosion and flooding. Their performance in reducing the

Environmental and aesthetic impacts of small docks and piers, workshop report: Developing a science-based decision support tool for small dock management, phase 1: Status of the science [PDF]
, 2003 Few issues confronting coastal resource managers are as divisive or difficult to manage as regulating the construction of private recreational docks and piers associated with residential development.

International 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
Global 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 ...
