After extensive testing and validating this model using data collected in a wave flume in Hannover this model was used to simulate morphological development at nourished beaches. Based on the model results, an assessment on grain sorting effects during the development of nourished beaches was made, showing the models capabilities in functioning as a tool to predict sorting processes for natural and nourished beaches in a schematized environment.
