Study of the sediment transport for the coastline protection

Updated: Jun 29, 2023

Bay of Bandol (FRANCE)

 

Client : ICTP / Mairie de Bandol

Date of completion : 2022



In the purpose of the preparation of works for the coastline protection of the city of Bandol in France, Globocean has performed a diagnosis of the nearshore approaches and a study of the beaches dynamics.


The different steps of study realization are the followings :


  • Diagnosis of the coastline moves along the years (through satellite images) and the sea bottom changes (through bathymetric surveys)

  • Modelling of the offshore sea-states (software WaveWatchIII)

  • Wave propagation in the bay of Bandol for different swell scenarios (software SWAN)

  • Simulation of the wave induced currents and trends of erosion or sand accumulation for the 4 beaches of the Bay of Bandol (softwares TELEMAC 3D and SYSIPHE module)

  • Recommendations about protection measures to undertake for the coastline preservation
