In this Supplementary Issue nine papers in the field of coastal hydraulics and hydraulic engineering are published. They are based on large-scale experiments carried out in the Large-Scale Wave flume of LIM/UPC, Spain, the Large Oscillating Water Tunnel (LOWT) of Deltares, The Netherlands, and the “Grosse Wellen-Kanal” (GWK) of Hannover, Germany. One paper presents an overview of composite modelling, as elaborated in the joint research project CoMIBBS-Composite Modelling of the Interactions between Beaches and Structures. For more information, click here.
