The gravel cases are setup to test the implementation of XBeach-G. Two field cases: Slapton Sands, a fine gravel barrier ($D_{50}=6mm$) with a crest height approximately 7 meters above ODN (approximately equal to 0.4 m below MSL) and Chesil Beach, a coarse ($D_{50}=40mm$) gravel barrier with a crest height approximately 10 meters above ODN (Ordnance Datum Newlyn; approximately equal to 0.2m belowmean sea level –MSL) including a seawall. On top of that, experiment E10 from the Bardex experiments \citep{Turner2012} has been validated. NB: Model setups have been carried by Robert McCall as part of his PhD thesis. For more information on XBeach-G, download the PhD thesis of \citet{McCall2015} on URL: \url{http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/3929}.

Measurements and model results for Slapton Sands (\autoref{fig:slapton}), Chesil Beach (\autoref{fig:chesil}) and BARDEX E10 (\autoref{fig:bardex_e10}) show that XBeach-G is succesfully incoroporated in the main version of XBeach. Users can apply XBeach-G settings by including $"useXBeachGSettings = 1"$ in the params.txt file.
