Long-term morphological model of Poole Harbour

The study focuses on the impact of human interventions on the natural behaviour of estuaries in response to sea-level rise. In particular it focuses on the affect of managed realignment on the critical sea level rise (SLRcrit) for the Poole Harbour. Numerical model ASMITA (Aggregated Scale Morphological Interaction between a Tidal inlet and the...

Laboratory observations of the velocity field in the entrance of a tidal harbor and the exchange of heat between harbor and river

The research that has been presented in this report is a part of an ongoing study on the siltation of tidal harbors. The study deals with the water motion in the harbor entrance, which motion causes the siltation. As yet, too little is known about this complicated time-dependent water motion. The data obtained during the research will be used to...

Laboratory observations and calculations of the depth averaged flow patterns in a square harbor on a tidal river

Many harbors in the world suffer from siltation in their basins and in many cases removal of the deposited sediment leads to high costs. This siltation results from a net transport of sediment into the harbor caused by the water motion in the harbor entrance. The water motion is very complex and of a three-dimensional nature. Three main...
