Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to show the influence of the choice of sediment transport formulae in morphodynamic simulations. These simulations were conducted in the nearshore zone for time scales on the order of individual storm events. In a part of the chapter, we also compare directly the sediment flux calculated in the sediment code with different formulae with in-situ sediment transport measurements obtained on several beaches of the north coast of France.
