Abstract: This paper is concerned with a numerical model using FAVOR method for calculating a nearshore current field bounded by complicated geometric shapes, and a3D beach evolution model. The presented model was applied for the simulations of nearshore current fields, and 3D morphodynamic model adapting the nearshore current model was applied for the computations of beach evolution around a detached breakwater and two groins. It was confirmed that the presented model adapting the FAVOR method was useful to predict the nearshore current field in the vicinity of the complicated geometric shapes. Finally, the 3D model was applied to a tombolo formation in a field site.
