Numerical Simulation of Cove creation using the Coastal Modeling Environment
Simulated embayment creation on an initially rectilinear coastline. (a) At the start of the simulation, all the coastline of a gently sloping topography is protected by a breakwater but a short segment in the centre that is un-protected. (b) Location of the vector coastline at different time steps and final topography after three years of simulation. © The resulting embayment is bounded by a cliff similar to the Lulworth Cove bay in the south of the UK.

Summary

Also known as CoastalME, it is a C++ package to support the creation of numerical dynamic models to simulate coastal landscape evolution on spatial scales of kms to tens of kms, over decadal to centennial timescales. It has been designed with and for coastal engineers and practitioners seeking to simulate the interaction of multiple coastal landforms and different types of human interventions (e.g. grey and nature based solutions) to better manage the compound risk of coastal flooding and erosion.

History

It was first released in 2017[1] as a proof of concept under the NERC funded iCoast project. The initial core team of developers[1] described in detail the rationale behind CoastalME and demonstrated how it can be used to integrate; the Soft Cliff and Platform Erosion model SCAPE[2], the Coastal Vector Evolution Model COVE[3] and the Cross Shore model CSHORE[4].
