Wave-driven flows in the nearshore zone are responsible for the erosion and transport of beach sediments, causing a continuous cycle of bathymetric change that is linked with changes to wave transformation and nearshore hydrodynamics. Numerical models have been used to investigate the evolving nearshore wave field corresponding to beach morphology change in field studies (e.g., Ruiz de Alegria-Arzaburu et al., 2013). In the present study, the non-hydrostatic wave-flow SWASH model (Zijlema et al., 2011) is applied to five laboratory cases to investigate the change in wave and flow fields corresponding to evolving beach morphology during a simulated storm event.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/LZQQuuiqsPY
