| Abstract | Driftwood plays an important role in coastal ecosystems but, in large accumulations, can have negative impacts and pose hazards to navigation, infrastructure and communities (Murphy et al. 2021). The ability to accurately predict the fate and transport of coastal driftwood is central to informing sustainable management practices. However, there is a paucity of numerical modelling studies focused on driftwood transport in coastal waters (Murphy et al. 2021). Models developed for rivers (e.g. Ruiz-Villanueva et al. 2014) lack consideration of processes affecting driftwood transport and accumulation in coastal environments, such as wind waves. Murphy et al. (2020) conducted experiments in a 50-m by 30-m wave basin, wherein model driftwood was released and tracked within a 1/30 scale physical model of a sandy beach system with various coastal structures. The tests revealed that several factors influence the mobility of coastal driftwood exposed to waves, beaching and washoff processes in particular. |
