SUBDUNE tool: quasi-explicit formulation of the water level along the shoreline

Abstract

SUBDUNE v0.6 is a very preliminary version of an exploratory model designed to compute the sea level to the shoreline, combining the effects of various physics, from run-up to tides. It aims at providing an easy-to-use and quick way to estimate water elevation to the beach, assuming morphology is known. Combined with accurate beach data, such as LIDAR, this engineering tool may provide with end-users an efficient way to quantify submersion.
