A numerical model (LTC), an analytical formulation (Pelnard-Considère, 1956) and laboratory test scenarios were considered and the corresponding results compared.
The sediment transport coefficient (k) affects the shoreline evolution velocity but not the shoreline equilibrium configuration.
Different shoreline configurations between the numerical model and analytical formulation were obtained.
The cross-shore profiles geometry obtained at the laboratory tests were different from the numerical model results.
Scale considerations about the laboratory tests make difficult the data interpretation and application at the prototype scale.
