Assessment of the Current and Future Saltwater Intrusion Into the Cai River in Nha Trang, Vietnam

Modeling estuarine morphodynamics under combined river and tidal forcing

Estuarine morphodynamics are of broad importance to estuaries’ functions related to navigation, human settlement and ecosystems. Inspired by the Yangtze River estuary (YRE), this study aims to explore the impact of river discharge, tides and their interaction on long-term estuarine morphodynamics. Use is made of 1D and 2D process-based models....

Morphodynamics Suriname River: study of mud transport and impact due to lowering the fairway channel

inland transportation of goods. The artificial fairway channel provides entrance to the port of Paramaribo and Paranam. The motivation for this thesis project is the intention of lowering the fairway channel to increase the navigable depth, to create a cost-effective fairway for the bauxite and alumina transport activities. To obtain the...

Interaction between the Yellow river and its estuary

The 5,464 km long Yellow River (Chinese: Huang He) is the second longest river of the Peoples Republic of China. Its source is in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and empties after serving an agricultural population of over 126 million people in the Bohai Bay. The main characteristic of the Yellow River is the extremely high sediment load which causes the...

Morphology of the mouth of the river Douro (Portugal)

The river Douro debouches into the Atlantic Ocean near Oporto (Portugal) with a funnel-shaped mouth, partly closed from the ocean with a sand spit. Both the wave-induced longshore sediment transport as the sediment yield of the river are limited by the available quantity of sediment (non-alluvial conditions). The results of some sediment...

Hydro-morphogical study Douro Estuary

The Administracao dos Portos do Douro e Leixoes is confronted with the fact that future expansion of the port area of Leixoes is limited by the surrounding hills and urbanization. One of the alternatives for future expansion might be the creation of port facilities in the Douro estuary, where a relatively large, flat area is available. However,...
