Surface-groundwater flow numerical model for barrier beach with exfiltration incorporated bottom boundary layer model (2018)
Journal Article
Perera, E., Zhu, F., Dodd, N., Briganti, R., Blenkinsopp, C., & Turner, I. L. (2019). Surface-groundwater flow numerical model for barrier beach with exfiltration incorporated bottom boundary layer model. Coastal Engineering Journal, 146, 47-64. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2018.12.002

A surface-groundwater flow model is developed for the swash flow on a barrier beach. The non-linear shallow water equations are used to simulate the surface flow. Laplace's equation is used to describe the groundwater flow and is solved using the Bou...

Numerical modelling of the flow and bed evolution of a single bore-driven swash event on a coarse sand beach (2018)
Journal Article
Briganti, R., Dodd, N., Incelli, G., & Kikkert, G. (2018). Numerical modelling of the flow and bed evolution of a single bore-driven swash event on a coarse sand beach. Coastal Engineering, 142, 62-76. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2018.09.006

This paper examines the numerical prediction of the sediment transport and bed evolution for a single swash event on a coarse sediment beach. In these conditions bed load is the dominant mode of sediment transport. Laboratory experiments of a single...

An assessment of the roller approach for wave breaking in a hybrid finite-volume finite-difference Boussinesq-type model for the surf-zone (2018)
Journal Article
Tatlock, B., Briganti, R., Musumeci, R. E., & Brocchini, M. (2018). An assessment of the roller approach for wave breaking in a hybrid finite-volume finite-difference Boussinesq-type model for the surf-zone. Applied Ocean Research, 73, 160-178. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apor.2018.01.012

This paper investigates the application of the roller approach for breaking waves in a 1D hybrid finite-volume finite-difference weakly-nonlinear Boussinesq-type model. The vorticity transport equation is employed to model the movement of vorticity t...
