Abstract
A morphological pilot experiment was carried out in a 3D multidirectional wave basin with a current facility, to investigate the usefulness of such models for the validation of 3D numerical models. Tests were carried out on a straight uniform beach and on the same beach with a groyne and an offshore breakwater. A video technique was used to measure the bathymetry. The experiment produced a valuable dataset that is straightforward to use for validation. A first hindcast of the experiment using the Delft3D-MOR model was able to reproduce many of the features, although differences remain, especialy near the waterline.
