Abstract
The attractiveness of beaches to people has led, in many places, to the construction of buildings at the beach-dune interface. Buildings change the local airflow patterns which, in turn, alter the sediment transport pathways and magnitudes. This induces erosion and deposition patterns around the structures.
In this study, a numerical model is developed using the open-source computational fluid dynamics solver OpenFOAM. First, the impact of wind facing surface on the near-surface airflow patterns is investigated. Second, the near-surface horizontal divergence of the velocity field is calculated to interpret the impact of changes in airflow patterns on potential erosion and deposition patterns around the buildings.
