A collection of Jupyter notebooks and tools for teaching and research in coastal hydrodynamics.
This repository brings together reproducible, modular resources covering key processes like tides, waves, sea-level rise, and coastal flooding.
Each module is self-contained and includes:
- Example data
- A ready-to-run notebook (optimized for Google Colab)
- Step-by-step explanations
- Plots, exports, and interactivity
- A dedicated
README.mdin each folder
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
wave_data_downloader |
Download wave data from the COPERNICUS marine database |
wave_runup_model |
Estimate wave runup using empirical models and IPCC sea-level rise scenarios |
XBeach_setup |
Preprocess data from a simple XBeach hydrodynamic model created in Delft Dashboard |
These notebooks are designed to run in Google Colaboratory, with:
- Google Drive for file storage and access
- Built-in Python libraries like
pandas,matplotlib,numpy, etc. - Some modules include additional libraries (e.g.
ipywidgets,py-wave-runup) - For the XBeach model folder, Delft Dashboard and XBeach must be downloaded from the sources indicated in the respective pages.
- Download or clone this repo
- Upload a module folder (e.g.
wave_runup_model) to your Google Drive - Open the
.ipynbfile in Google Colab - Follow the instructions provided in each module’s notebook and README
