Chenier Dynamics

Over the last decades, mangrove forests have suffered immense and rapid losses worldwide. In recognition of their important socio-economic and environmental functions, many attempts have been made to both protect the remaining mangrove coastlines and restore eroding sites. Unfortunately, many rehabilitation attempts have failed, lacking a...

Modelling of Cohesive Sediment Transportation, Deposition and Resuspension in the Haringvliet Mouth.

In the Dutch coastal zone, where the marine environment is characterized by shallow depths and highly energetic hydrodynamic conditions, the cohesive sediments, or mud, play an important role in the local morphology. For instance, mud deposits and high concentrations of suspended particulate matter (SPM) occur frequently, especially during...

A Numerical Model for Flow and Sediment Transport in Alluvial-River Bends

The principal features of the numerical model developed herein for calculation of flow and sediment-transport distributions in alluvial-river bends may be summarized as follows: i. The secondary-flow strength and the bed topography are uncoupled from the calculation of distributions of lateral shift velocity and streamwise velocity. This is...

An analysis of longshore currents and associated sediment transport in the surf zone

Two momentum based longshore current models and a preliminary longshore sediment transport model are derived, calibrated and tested in the present investigation. The Linear Longshore Current Model predicts the relatively small longshore current induced by monochromatic, two dimensional, gravity waves of finite height and near normal incidence...
