Abstract
Integrated numerical models are developed to simulate irregular wave deformations, wave-induced currents, sediment transport, and morphodynamic changes around detached breakwaters in coasts. The models are capable of taking into account various wave deformations, e.g. diffraction, transmission through permeable structure, breaking, etc. The computed morphodynamic changes around a detached breakwater, including deposition/erosion behind the structure, local scours at tips of the structure, and bars in offshore, are in good agreement with the measurements.
