Short summary
The paper describes a numerical modelling methodology capable of reproducing the hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and morphological evolution of coastal zones under the combined action of waves and currents. The long-term beach response to different designs of coastal defence structures was assessed, as well as the formation of multiple sandbars on the beach slope. The methodology can be applied in engineering studies in order to evaluate the best solution to protect the coast against erosion.
