XBeach
XBeach is a sophisticated open-source numerical model designed for simulating hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes in coastal regions. Developed to assess the impact of various weather events on coastal zones, XBeach can model the interaction between waves, currents, and sediment transport. This makes it a valuable tool for predicting coastal erosion, flooding, and the evolution of beaches and dunes. Researchers and engineers use XBeach for coastal management and planning, ensuring sustainable and resilient coastal environments in the face of climate change and rising sea levels.
The following benchmarks are currently available for XBeach:
