Structure

Introduction

In coastal applications, it is important for hydrodynamic and sediment transport models to simulate wave transmission and flow penetration through rubble mound structures (d’Angremond et al. 1996; Garcia et al. 2004; Tsai et al. 2006). The present study applies the methodology simulating the permeability of rubble mound structures (Reed 2010) in the CMS to Dana Point Harbor on the southern California coast. The hydrodynamic calibration and sediment transport validation are conducted against the field measurements.
