Abstract

Swash zone morphodynamics is of great signi cance for nearshore morphological change, and it is important to provide reliable numerical prediction for beachface evolution in the swash zone. Most of the numerical work on swash zone morphodynamics carried out so far has focused primarily on beach evolution under one single swash event. In reality, multiple swash events interact, and these swash interactions have been recognised as important in the beachface evolution. Swash-swash interactions leads to energy dissipation, enhanced bed shear stresses and sediment transport (Puleo and Torres- Freyermuth, 2016). In this paper, we investigate the beachface evolution under two swash events using numerical simulations, in which shock-shock interactions are described by dam-break problems.
