Harbour and coastal structures are essential to the above, facilitating the transport of people and goods through ports, and protecting low-lying areas against flooding and erosion. While these structures were previously based on relatively rigid concepts about service life, at present, the design—or the upgrading—of these structures should effectively proof them against future pressures, enhancing their resilience and long-term sustainability. This Special Issue brings together a versatile collection of articles on the modelling of harbour and coastal structures, covering a wide array of topics on the design of such structures through a study of their interactions with waves and coastal morphology, as well as their role in coastal protection and harbour design in present and future climates.Technology: general issuesbicsscbeach morphologybeach nourishment performancesustainable developmentGeneral Shoreline beach modelUnited Arab EmiratesSaadiyat Islandbreakwaterextreme learning machinestability assessmentmachine learningcolumn-stabilized fish cagehorizontal wave forceleast squares methodhydrodynamic coefficientvertical breakwaterreliability analysisoverall stabilitysliding failureoverturning failurebearing capacity analysisbreakwater's foundation failurerubble-moundzero-freeboardporous-mediaimmersed-boundarylevel-setSmagorinsky subgrid scale modelwave reflectionwave transmissionwave overtoppingwave setupNowshahr portfield measurementsnumerical simulationwavecurrentsediment transportrubble mound breakwatershistorical reviewdamage measurementdamage characterizationdamagedamage modeldamage progressioninput reductionwave schematizationpick-up rateMIKE21 CM FMlong-term morphological modellingnumerical modelOpenFOAMscourvertical breakwatersmortar-grouted riprap revetmentfull-scale hydraulic testsdesign of revetmentsBalearic IslandsBoumerdèscurrent speedharbortsunamimodel uncertaintyreliabilitypile settlementpiles in granular soilbase resistanceskin frictiont-z curvesclimate changecoastal floodingcoastal structuresnumerical modellingBoussinesq equationsTechnology: general issuesKarambas Theophanis Vedt1311912Samaras AchilleasedtKarambas Theophanis VothSamaras AchilleasothBOOK9910557370503321Modelling of Harbour and Coastal Structures3030550UNINA
