50 Summary A 3-D shallow water flow model has been developed for coastal sedimentation. A modified mixing length model is used for turbulence closure. The flow model is coupled with CMS-Wave model. The model equations are solved with a finite-volume method based on quadtree-rectangular mesh in the horizontal and σ coordinate in the vertical. The sediment transport model considers multiple-sized, total-load transport. The model has been tested using lab and field measurements. 50
