Abstract

It is estimated that the waterway in North Passage would not be able to meet the demand of shipping development soon and it is necessary to open a new deep navigation channel with a depth of 10 m in North Channel in the near future. A pilot study on the regulation of North Channel was proposed by Yangtze Estuary Waterway Administration Bureau and Prof. Dano Roelvink from UNESCO-IHE. The idea of regulating the navigation channel in North Channel was raised based on an analysis of morphological processes in this area. Multiple regulation plans were proposed, amongst which a configuration to regulate the North Channel was suggested after a study on a numerical modelling of tidal flow and morphological processes. Some suggestions were put forward for future studies.
