Experiments and simulations investigate beach nourishment stability during typhoons, indicating design implications.

The central aim is to quantify beach nourishment efficacy and resilience under extreme wave conditions.
Conducted physical-model experiments on a headland-bay beach in China
Performed XBeach numerical simulations to analyze hydrodynamic behaviors
Examined the effects of different nourishment geometries and groin configurations
Nourishment geometry critically affects wave breaking patterns
Relocated groins in accretion zones reduced erosion and stabilized shorelines
Steeper nourishment slopes enhanced offshore wave energy dissipation

Zhu et al. (2026) studied this question.
