Description: Xbeach is a two-dimensional model for wave propagation, long waves and mean flow, sediment transport and morphological changes of the nearshore area, beaches, dunes and backbarrier during storms. It is a public-domain model that has been developed with funding and support by the US Army Corps of Engineers, by a consortium of UNESCO-IHE, Delft Hydraulics, Delft University of Technology and the University of Miami. Technical information Supported platforms: Linux, Windows Programming language: Fortran90 Model was developed started from: 2006 and development still takes place To what degree will the model become available: As code and as an executable Current license type: LGPL Memory requirements: Flexible Typical run time: hours Input / Output description Input parameters: rectilinear grid, bathymetry, boundary spectral parameters, water levels, sediment sizes, model parameters Input format: ASCII Output parameters: wave heights, velocities, water levels, sediment concentrations, sediment transport rates, bottom changes, bathymetry, additional model variables Output format: Binary Post-processing software (if needed): yes Visualization software (if needed): Matlab Process description Processes represented by model: short wave propagation, infragravity waves, shear waves, swash, overtopping, overwashing, breaching, longshore current, cross-shore current, suspended sediment transport, morphological changes, dune erosion Key physical parameters & equations: see manual at http://xbeach.org Length scale & resolution constraints: metres-kilometres Time scale & resolution constraints: typically used on storm timescale; will be extended to cover up to years Numerical limitations and issues : explicit numerical scheme with automatic timestepping based on CFL criterion Testing Available calibration data sets: see http://xbeach.org for list and test bed Available test data sets: See http://xbeach.org Ideal data for testing: -- User groups Currently or plans for collaborating with: yes, see http://xbeach.org Documentation Key papers of the model: see http://xbeach.org for latest Is there a manual available: Yes Model website if any: http://xbeach.org/hydrotrend.html Additional comments Comments: -- Issues Help Input Files Output Files Download Source-Code Snapshots XBeach Source-code snapshots are available at: http://xbeach.org/ Source
