Kirichek, Alex (author), Cronin, K (author), de Wit, Lynyrd (author), van Kessel, Thijs (author)The main objective of this chapter is to demonstrate developments in port maintenance techniques that have been intensively tested in major European ports. As regular port maintenance is highly expensive, port authorities are considering alternative strategies. Water Injection Dredging (WID) can be one of the most efficient alternatives. Using...book chapter 2021

De Wit, L. (author)3D CFD simulations, lab experiments and field measurements are used to get more understanding of the turbulent near field overflow dredging plume mixing. The focus has been on the most often used dredging vessel: a trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD). Near field overflow dredging plume mixing is important because it determines the far field...doctoral thesis 2015

Vijverberg, T. (author), Reneerkens, M.J.J. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author), Scholl, O. (author), Haruna, Y. (author)Due to economic growth, Lagos Harbour is expanding. Capital dredging is needed to allow larger vessels to call the port. As harbour siltation is already a problem, increase of maintenance dredging is a worry. In the past no data was available to understand the hydraulics and sediment transport to estimate maintenance dredging volumes. This paper...conference paper 2012

Dankers, P.J.T. (author)In 2001a DIOC-projectwas started at Delft University of Technologyon the dispersion of fines during sand mining. In this project the behaviour and spreading of fines, which are released through the overflow of a dredging ship, is studied. Laboratory and field studies will be carried out to determine the behaviour and spreading of the fines....report 2002
