This book focuses on the concept of cross-shore sand transport, and its relation to beach profile change. The authors begin by reviewing the contributions of notable figures in this field, establishing an academic foundation. The book then presents an original numerical model developed by the authors that predicts beach profile change based on wave model and transport rate equations. The model is calibrated and verified using experimental data from large wave tanks and field measurements from natural beaches, ensuring its reliability. The book's significance lies in its contribution to the understanding of beach profile change, a fundamental process in coastal engineering. By quantifying the various properties related to beach profile change, this book provides valuable insights for professionals working on coastal protection projects, such as beach nourishment and dune erosion mitigation. The comprehensive analysis of geometric characteristics of the beach profile and their dependence on wave and sand properties makes it an essential resource for engineers and scientists involved in coastal management.
