Morphodynamical modelling of field-scale swash events (2015)
Journal Article
Incelli, G., Dodd, N., Blenkinsopp, C. E., Zhu, F., & Briganti, R. (2016). Morphodynamical modelling of field-scale swash events. Coastal Engineering, 115, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2015.09.006

In the present work, data for three single swash events are selected from those available for an accretive tide that occurred at Le Truc Vert beach (France) during a measurement field campaign at that location. These events are primarily chosen becau... Read More about Morphodynamical modelling of field-scale swash events.

Uncertainties in the physical modelling of the wave overtopping over a rubble mound breakwater: The role of the seeding number and of the test duration (2015)
Journal Article
Romano, A., Belloti, G., Briganti, R., & Franco, L. (2015). Uncertainties in the physical modelling of the wave overtopping over a rubble mound breakwater: The role of the seeding number and of the test duration. Coastal Engineering, 103, 15-21. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2015.05.005

This paper presents an experimental study on the variability in the wave overtopping discharge on a simple rubble mound breakwater caused by different random starting phases and different lengths of incident wave sequences sharing the same energy den...

Absorbing–generating seaward boundary conditions for fully-coupled hydro-morphodynamical solvers (2015)
Journal Article
Incelli, G., Briganti, R., & Dodd, N. (2015). Absorbing–generating seaward boundary conditions for fully-coupled hydro-morphodynamical solvers. Coastal Engineering, 99, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2015.02.002

This paper presents a new technique to compute open boundary conditions for fully-coupled hydro-morphodynamical numerical solvers based on the Non-Linear Shallow Water and the Exner equations. These conditions allow the generation of incident signals... Read More about Absorbing–generating seaward boundary conditions for fully-coupled hydro-morphodynamical solvers.

The role of offshore boundary conditions in the uncertainty of numerical prediction of wave overtopping using non-linear shallow water equations (2014)
Journal Article
Williams, H., Briganti, R., & Pullen, T. (2014). The role of offshore boundary conditions in the uncertainty of numerical prediction of wave overtopping using non-linear shallow water equations. Coastal Engineering, 89, 30-44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2014.03.003

The paper examines the variability of wave overtopping parameters predicted by numerical models based on non-linear shallow water equations, due to the boundary conditions obtained from wave energy density spectra. Free surface elevation time series... Read More about The role of offshore boundary conditions in the uncertainty of numerical prediction of wave overtopping using non-linear shallow water equations.
