Development and Extension of An Aggregated Scale Model: Part 1 – Background to ASMITA

Whilst much attention has been given to models that describe wave, tide and sediment transport processes in sufficient detail to determine the local changes in bed level over a relatively detailed representation of the bathymetry, far less attention has been given to models that consider the problem at a much larger scale (e.g. that of...

Long-term morphological modeling for Feiyun estuary with ESTMORF

The Feiyun River, with a length of 203 km and a catchment area of 3252 km2, is one of eight rivers in Zheijiang Province (see fig.1-1), China. It flows into the East China Sea in Shangwang of Ruian City. The source of Feiyun River is at Xialing located in the border between Zheijiang and Fujian Province. The tidal influence can reach up the...

A new morphological schematization of the Western Scheldt estuary, The Netherlands

The present paper describes an analysis of the morphological integrityof the multiple channel system (MCS) of the Western Scheldt estuary. The tidal flats and surrounding ebb and flood channels form morphological cells, and the entire MCS can be schematized as a chain of such cells. The major ebb and flood channels have lost their one time...

Aspects of sediment- and morphodynamics of subtidal deposits of the Oosterschelde (Netherlands)

The present thesis consists of five articles, in all of which links are established between sedimentological aspects of sediments - mostly below the low-water 'line - in the Oosterschelde and either large- or small-scale morphological changes. Large morphological changes and associated movements of sediment which occur in the tidal system of the...
