- Coastal managers rely on sediment transport models to predict transport patterns and rates. Accurately modelling sediment transport is essential for designing and implementing (cost) effective solutions for major issues such as beach erosion. In this research driven by a fully funded UEL PhD studentship, authors critically evaluated the performance of seven sand transport models, demonstrating that existing models generally perform poorly for breaking wave conditions when compared to four recently published high-resolution datasets. However, we show that a newly proposed model can accurately predict transport patterns for multiple near-shore regions, making it ideal for use by practitioners and researchers alike.
