WL | <strong>de</strong>lft hydraulics (DH) has focused on the <strong>de</strong>scription of turbulence effects and 3D<br />

structure of<br />

transport and resulting morphological changes around harbours and long breakwaters (lit [1]).<br />

It is also investigating the effect of beach nourishments. It will also do some <strong>de</strong>pth-averaged<br />

runs for situations with groins for comparison with LNH's 3D approach<br />

Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) looks at the morphological evolution around emerged and<br />

submerged offshore breakwaters with 2DH and quasi3D approaches (lit [2]), and investigates<br />

the effects of diffraction and directional spreading.<br />

Laboratoire Nationale d' Hydraulique (LNH) investigates the effects of groins using a 3D<br />

approach (lit [3]).<br />

Delft University of Technology (DUT) has looked into the effects of submerged breakwaters<br />

and is now investigating the equilibrium shape of natural bays and bays formed between<br />

offshore breakwaters, using a 2DH approach (lit [4]).<br />
