Abstract: A sediment transport model is proposed in this paper to simulate sediment motion induced by storm surges. The model is applied to an ideal rectangular harbor. Sediment transport processes and bathymetric evolution are investigated for different typhoon tracks. The simulated results demonstrate that bed changes are influenced greatly by the typhoon track.
