Salt marsh vegetation modifies the flow conditions such that the critical velocities for resuspension derived on bare beds no longer apply. Within vegetation canopies, the critical velocity for resuspension was previously shown to decrease under pure current and pure wave conditions. In this study, we experimentally investigated how emergent salt marsh vegetation affects resuspension under combined wave-current flows that are typical for intertidal coastlines. Emergent artificial vegetation canopies inspired by <em>Spartina Anglica</em> and fine noncohesive sediment were placed in a wave-current flume. We set a constant current and incrementally increased the wave height until resuspension was measured. We repeated this procedure with a bare bed, three stem densities, and for a range of wave-current combinations. The critical velocity for resuspension was significantly reduced by vegetation-induced turbulence. Turbulent vortices shed by the stems entrained sediment particles from the bed. The critical velocity for resuspension decreased by 35–64% compared to bare bed conditions, depending on a ratio between the current velocity and wave velocity amplitude. The critical velocity decreased the most under pure current flows and the least under pure wave conditions. Finally, with vegetation present, the stem density did not affect the threshold of resuspension for the range of densities tested here. Our results can be implemented into sediment transport models through an adjusted Shields parameter for vegetated beds, which can be used for the management of salt marshes and the design of interventions for nature-based coastal protection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50996,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering","volume":"199 ","pages":"Article 104727"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143600690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous analyses comparing CoastSat satellite-derived shorelines (SDS) to morphological data have highlighted that there are site-specific errors in outputs that are likely related to concurrent wave runup conditions, but the data required to test this relationship are rarely available. Here, we present a novel comparison of lidar-derived runup and beach elevation data to CoastSat satellite-derived waterlines (SDW) extracted using two image sources (Sentinel-2 and PlanetScope) and two threshold algorithms (Otsu and weighted peaks). Results show that while SDW extracted using Otsu thresholds correlated better with lidar-derived waterlines (LDW), SDW extracted using the weighted peaks threshold were consistently positioned in the upper swash and therefore correlated better with a runup bulk statistic. Assigning the best-fit runup bulk statistic as the waterline elevation to weighted peaks SDW resulted in SDS with less scatter than the Otsu SDW due to the more consistent waterline elevation. Horizontal errors for the converted datum-referenced shoreline were lowest when SDW were converted to SDS using best-fit measured runup bulk statistics and a measured slope. However, for weighted peaks SDW from both image sources, assigning the best-fit parameterized runup bulk statistic and an average slope in the SDW to SDS conversion still reduced error by <span><math><mrow><mo>∼</mo><mn>20</mn><mtext>%</mtext></mrow></math></span> to <span><math><mrow><mo>∼</mo><mn>35</mn><mtext>%</mtext></mrow></math></span> when compared to the tidal elevation and average slope.

Recently, lidar scanners have gained attention within the coastal research community for their ability to directly capture high-resolution data on hydro-sediment interactions near shorelines across various scales, providing valuable insights into coastal dynamics. This study presents a fusion system that combines a 3D lidar with a video camera, capable of simultaneously capturing 3D coordinates and surface colors of beaches and nearshore waves.

At the Hasaki coast, characterized by fine sand, it captured alongshore variations in topographic changes, linked to runup heights and seepage processes over one day. At the Namiita coast, characterized by a mixed sand-gravel beach, the fusion system observed the development of cusp structures over 3 h. The data suggest sand accumulation around gravel and gravel retrieval from the beach surface following an increase in tide level.

Despite advancements in numerical schemes, challenges persist in modelling these wave fields. An example is the application of potential flow methodology, which is efficient but limited by its inadequacy in accounting for energy dissipation due to wave breaking. Currently, empirical dissipation models with coefficients calibrated against experimental observations are often used. However, how these coefficients vary across the broad range of wave breaking scenarios, ranging from incipient breaking to extreme wave plunging is not well understood. The purpose of this paper is to account for the variability of these coefficients through a better understanding of the dissipation mechanics. Using a validated two-phase Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model, which reproduces the essential physics of a plunging wave, we not only reinforce existing observations on the total energy lost due to wave breaking but also show that, for a plunging wave, 77% of that energy loss is closely linked to the bifurcation of flow near the wave crest that contributed to wave breaking. Additionally, ∼19% of the energy loss may be attributed to the work done by the wave compressing the entrapped air. Together, the energy associated with both the plunging jet and the air entrapment could account for up to 96% of the total energy loss.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50996,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering","volume":"198 ","pages":"Article 104723"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143377180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, in this study, extreme overtopping events at rubble mound structures with a smooth crest in shallow water have been studied. Both the water layer thickness (flow depth), front velocity and individual overtopping volumes are measured in a wave flume for typical coastal structures with a smooth crest in shallow water for a large range of hydraulic conditions and three different foreshore slopes. An analysis of the individual overtopping volumes shows that the largest individual overtopping volumes arise from short waves that travel on the crest of a low-frequency wave in shallow water and short waves that travel on top of the trough in deep water. Due to the temporal water level variation caused by the low-frequency waves in shallow water, there are fewer overtopping events compared to deep water conditions with the same non-dimensional overtopping discharge. However, the individual overtopping volumes of these events are larger. To quantify the extreme overtopping variables, an empirical formulation based on the relative crest height and short-wave steepness is proposed for the non-dimensional 2 % exceedance water layer thickness, front velocity and individual overtopping volume in terms of incident waves with an <span><math><msup><mrow><mi>R</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup></math></span> of 0.84, <span><math><msup><mrow><mi>R</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup></math></span> of 0.55 and <span><math><msup><mrow><mi>R</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup></math></span> of 0.85 respectively.

The framework was showcased over Hurricane Ike that significantly impacted the Texas Gulf Coast in 2008. Results demonstrate the capability of the SFINCS model to generate probabilistic predictions (e.g., ≤4 h for a 100-member ensemble on a single multi-core CPU). The model agrees well with observed data from NOAA tidal, USGS stream gage height, and FEMA high water mark stations. Compared to a deterministic approach, the ensemble method reduced errors by an average 16% across all water level and hydrograph stations. Sensitivity analysis indicated consistent patterns of flood inundation across varying ensemble sizes (81, 189, 1,000) and lead times (1–3 days before landfall), with a slight increase in uncertainty for smaller ensembles and longer lead times. In particular, counties adjacent to the Trinity River Basin had ≥80% probability of exceeding the critical 3-m flooding depth during Hurricane Ike.
