This paper illustrates the potential of Opti-Morph, a new morphodynamic model based on wave-energy minimization driven morphodynamics. Given the fast simulation times, this model is ideal for determining the optimal position of submerged breakwaters to maximize efficiency. This paper focuses on the study of the location of submerged geotextile tubes for optimal beach protection, while taking into account the evolution of the seabed.
