Numerical Modelling

The University of Liverpool Team mainly focuses on the development and validation of numerical models as tools to study morphology at storm scale for the site. The main phases are:

• Phase I: 2DH modelling to aid field work planning (4 months)
• Phase II: Q3D modelling (18 months ) with link to an on-going project HYDRO
• Phase III: Testing Q3D with Lab/Field data (3 months)
• Phase IV: What-if scenarios (9 months)
• Phase V: Data for design guidelines
  

2DH Modelling Results

WC2D results: Velocity vectors @ mean tidal level

WC2D results: Velocity vectors @ low tidal level

WC2D results: Wave Height @ high tidal level

WC2D results: Wave Direction @ high tidal level
