Modeling and analyzing observed transverse sand bars in the surf zone
A morphodynamic model has been applied to explain the characteristics of transverse sandbars observed in the inner surf zone of open beaches. The model describes the feedback between waves, rollers, depth-averaged currents and bed evolution, so that self-organized processes can develop.
