A nonlinear perturbation study of a shoreface nourishment on a multiply barred beach (2020)
Journal Article
Chen, W. L., & Dodd, N. (2021). A nonlinear perturbation study of a shoreface nourishment on a multiply barred beach. Continental Shelf Research, 214, Article 104317. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csr.2020.104317

The 1D (cross-shore) nonlinear nourishment-as-a-perturbation model of Chen and Dodd (2019) is extended to include wave streaming and depth-varying mean return flow. This is shown to lead to physically consistent values for the migration rate of small... Read More about A nonlinear perturbation study of a shoreface nourishment on a multiply barred beach.

Numerical modelling of intra-wave sediment transport on sandy beaches using a non-hydrostatic, wave-resolving model (2020)
Journal Article
Mancini, G., Briganti, R., McCall, R., Dodd, N., & Zhu, F. (2021). Numerical modelling of intra-wave sediment transport on sandy beaches using a non-hydrostatic, wave-resolving model. Ocean Dynamics, 71(1), 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10236-020-01416-x

The mutual feedback between the swash zone and the surf zone is known to affect large-scale morphodynamic processes such as breaker bar migration on sandy beaches. To fully resolve this feedback in a process-based manner, the morphodynamics in the sw...

Modeling swash zone hydrodynamics using discontinuous galerkin finite-element method (2020)
Journal Article
Aboulatta, W., Dodd, N., Briganti, R., Kasem, T. H. M. A., & Zaki, M. A. F. (2021). Modeling swash zone hydrodynamics using discontinuous galerkin finite-element method. Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 147(2), Article 04020051. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%29WW.1943-5460.0000618

A two-dimensional numerical model for the solution of the nonlinear shallow water equations (NSWEs) using the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) is presented. A new adaptation of the thin-film approach is developed for the wetting/d... Read More about Modeling swash zone hydrodynamics using discontinuous galerkin finite-element method.

Swash zone morphodynamic modelling including sediment entrained by bore-generated turbulence (2020)
Journal Article
Zhu, F., & Dodd, N. (2020). Swash zone morphodynamic modelling including sediment entrained by bore-generated turbulence. Advances in Water Resources, 146, Article 103756. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2020.103756

In this paper we introduce a mathematical model of sediment entrainment due to bore-generated turbulence in a shallow water context. In this model, the entrainment is assumed to be proportional to the energy decay rate across a bore on a mobile bed....
