Beach nourishment represents a type of coastal defense intervention, keeping the beach as natural system. Altering cross-shore profile geometry, due to introduction new sediments, induces non-equilibrium situation regarding local wave dynamics. This work aims increase our knowledge concerning 3D movable bed physical modeling and impacts on hydrodynamics, sediment transport, morphodynamics. A se...

In this paper we present artificial constraints as a method for guiding heuristic search in the computationally challenging domain of motion planning among movable obstacles. The robot is permitted to manipulate unspecified obstacles in order to create space for a path. A plan is an ordered sequence of paths for robot motion and object manipulation. We show that under monotone assumptions, anti...
