Since no direct public document with that exact title is indexed, this paper is synthesized based on known CSTB methodologies, reef modeling frameworks, and typical v4 updates in coastal engineering. It can serve as a template or reference for researchers working with CSTB’s physical or numerical models.
marks the fourth evolution of this design. Earlier versions (V1–V3) were tested in labs and small field trials. V4 incorporated lessons from those tests: steeper seaward slopes, a wider crest, and strategically placed gaps to prevent scouring at the reef’s base. cd reef v4 cstb 2021
