XBeach is a powerful two-dimensional simulator designed for modeling wave propagation, sediment transport, and morphological changes in nearshore areas. It is widely used in coastal engineering to predict how shorelines evolve under the influence of waves, tides, and currents, making it an essential tool for erosion studies, coastal protection projects, and environmental impact assessments.
With Inductiva, you can speed up your XBeach simulations more than 8x by sending them to Cloud machines with hundreds of cores and terabytes of disk spaces.
How to Run XBeach on the Cloud
On the right, we show how to use the Inductiva API to send an XBeach simulation to an 180 vCPU machine (c3d-standard-180) hosted on Google Cloud (GCP).
You can copy paste this Python script and adapt it to your own case, indicating the XBeach version you want to run. Your simulation will start right away without waiting in a queue.
"""XBeach example."""
import inductiva
# Allocate Google cloud machine
cloud_machine = inductiva.resources.MachineGroup( \
provider="GCP",
machine_type="c3d-standard-180")
# Initialize the Simulator
xbeach = inductiva.simulators.XBeach(version="1.24")
# Run simulation with configuration files in the input directory
task = xbeach.run( \
input_dir="/path/to/my/xbeach/files",
sim_config_filename="my_config_file.txt",
on=cloud_machine)
# Wait for the simulation to finish and download the results
task.wait()
cloud_machine.terminate()
task.download_outputs()

Galveston Island Beach and Dune Simulation
In this advanced XBeach example, we run a simulation based on input data from a study of beach and dune enhancement scenarios on Galveston Island, Texas, using data made available by the Harte Research Institute.
We’ve got 20 simulators ready for you to explore.
Just one click away from running your favorite open-source simulators on the cloud and at scale!
