Abstract

Malagueta beach has been a study case about the evolution of a urban beach, after its nourishment. A new one-line model is derived considering cross shore sediment transport in the swash zone. The model is applied to simulate the coast line evolution. Archive of field data have been carried along monitoring tasks, from 1991 surveys. The results fit very well to the obtained evolution data set from the prototype.
