This dataset contains simulation configurations, model outputs, analysis scripts and figures from Chapter 5 of the PhD dissertation "Connecting Coasts: Nature-based Solutions from Nearshore to Dune." The research investigates how nourishment design influences dune growth and natural dune dynamics in coastal environments using interdisciplinary numerical modeling. Two case studies are presented: (1) alternative designs of the Sand Engine mega-nourishment to assess their influence on dune growth, and (2) comparison of a regular beach nourishment with a lagoon-based alternative to evaluate effects on dune dynamics and blowout formation. The research employs three numerical approaches: a process-based aeolian transport model (AeoLiS), a coupled marine-aeolian framework (Delft3D-FM with AeoLiS), and a Lagrangian particle-tracking method (SedTRAILS). The dataset includes model configurations for ten numerical simulations covering different design scenarios, selected model outputs, analysis scripts for extracting key metrics, and the resulting figures used in the dissertation. This comprehensive dataset enables reproducibility of the findings and supports further research on interdisciplinary coastal design.
