The equilibrium beach profile ODE from Jenkins and Inman is shown to be formally identical to the Friedmann equation of a closed universe, and known cosmological solutions yield new beach profile formulas.

Analogy between equilibrium beach profiles and closed universes
The equilibrium beach profile ODE from Jenkins and Inman is shown to be formally identical to the Friedmann equation of a closed universe, and known cosmological solutions yield new beach profile formulas.
