Abstract: A extensive two-dimensional laboratory investigation was performed, in order to study the cross-shore profile evolution of a perched beach, after the application of beach nourishment method. The presence of the geotextile artificial reef leads to wave reflection and additional dissipation of the wave energy and obstruct the sand from drifting seawards Also an advanced Boussinesq type nonlinear wave model has been developed in order to simulate cross-shore hydro-morphodynamic processes. The comparison between experimental and numerical beach profile indicates good agreement.
