Abstract: Coastal erosion describes the displacement of land caused by destructive sea waves, currents or tides. Major efforts have been made to mitigate these effects using groins, breakwaters and various other structures. We try to address this problem by applying shape optimization techniques on the obstacles. A first approach models the propagation of waves towards the coastline, using a 2D time-harmonic system based on the famous Helmholtz equation in the form of a scattering problem. The obstacle's shape is optimized over an appropriate cost function to minimize the height of water waves along the shoreline, without relying on a finite-dimensional design space, but based on shape calculus.
