Water level statistics in Delta Areas

Overview of a mathematical model for the Lower Volga Delta in Sobek both in 1D as well as in 2D. In inflow of the Wolga in the Caspian Sea has been studied. The connected database contains discharge information of the Volga river. The failure probabilities of flood defences in Delta areas or transition zones arefrom the view points of loads,...

River engineering

One dimension models - basic eauations, analytical models, numberical models. One dimensional models -suspended load, roughness and resistance of river beds. Solving river problems - tools, flood mitigation, bank protection.

Use of models for river problems

In Chapter 2 of this report an overview is given on fluvial processes involved in the modelling discussed. Chapter 3 is concerned with scale models, whilst Chapter 4 deals with numerical models. The main problems treated are, firstly, modelling of the water movement, followed by sediment transport and morphology. Attention is also given to the...

A sensitivity analysis applied to morphological computations

In river engineering morphological predictions have to be made to study the implications of changes in a river system due to natural causes or human interference. It regards here time-depending processes. Characteristic parameters of the river have to be forecasted both in time and space. The morphological processes, however, are extremely...

Modelling of sediment transport: Link in a chain

Rather than reporting on a specific topic of current research in the broad field of sediment transport and river morphology, the writer will give a general contemplation on the state of the art. This will not be a review in the usual sense. The alloted space would then be filled easily with references. References will only be made here if it...
