Morphological evaluation of the Scheveningen, Katwijk and Noordwijk shoreface nourishments using UNIBEST-TC

Aim of the research is to increase the insight into the processes that might be responsible for the differences in morphological behaviour between the different nourishments along the Dutch coast between Scheveningen and Noordwijk. The following problems are addressed: the effect of the encountered wave climate as experienced by the different nourishments on the morphological development along this part of the coast; the effect of the Scheveningen harbour breakwaters and the possible shelter for waves provided by these breakwaters; the effect of the fast adaptation of the initial profile on the later development of the shoreface nourishments; the effect of the presence of groynes at Scheveningen and the absence of groynes at Katwijk and Noordwijk; the effect of the presence of a different breaker bar system at Katwijk and Noordwijk compared to the breaker bar system at Scheveningen.
