الوصف: An integrated current–wave–sediment model is developed for coastal and estuary applications. The new model aims to improve the existing ones in both the physical process representation and the numerical techniques. Two areas of improvements are emphasized: the numerical procedure and a new general sediment sub-model. The numerical procedure adopts the one-model one-mesh approach to improve the model accuracy, efficiency and user friendliness. One model is developed which includes three major sub-models: current flow, wave dynamics and sediment transport. The three are tightly coupled during the solution process by exchanging data among sub-models within the same time step. Further, one unstructured geophysical mesh is adopted for all three sub-models and the mesh allows the most flexible polygonal shapes with an arbitrary number of sides. The current flow sub-model is an extension of the existing river hydraulic model (SRH-2D), the wave sub-model follows the third-generation theory implemented in SWAN which solves the multi-frequency multi-direction wave action balance equation and the sediment sub-model is a new development adopting a general multi-size non-equilibrium sediment transport formulation but tailored for coastal applications. In this paper, the theory, the governing equations and the numerical methods are presented; the new model is then verified and validated using selected experimental cases. It is shown that the new model may predict the current–wave–sediment dynamics well. In addition, model sensitivity results are also discussed to shed light on future needs.
