The Role of Waves, Shelf Slope, and Sediment Characteristics on the Development of Erosional Chenier Plains

Abstract Cheniers are sandy ridges parallel to the coast separated by muddy deposits. Here we explore the development of erosional chenier plains, which form by winnowing during storms, through dimensional analysis and numerical results from the morphodynamic model Delft3D‐SWAN. Our results highligh...
