CEM

Model Introduction

The CEM model, the Coastline Evolution Model, simulates the evolution of a shoreline due to gradients in breaking-wave-driven alongshore sediment transport.

Extended model introduction

The CEM model assumes that the coast consists of a high percentage of mobile sediment and its other assumptions are more applicable at shoreline lengths of km’s and larger. The model was initially designed to investigate an instability in the shape of the coast caused by waves approaching with ‘high’ angles (with the angle between deepwater crests and the coast > 45 degrees).
