Sand-mud distribution in the Amelander inlet: Sand and mud transport computations in a tidal inlet

In the tidal inlets in the Dutch Wadden Sea, the most important sediment types are sand, silt and clay. A distinction between the sediment types is made, because clay particles have cohesive properties. Consequently, the clay particles do not behave as individual particles but tend to stick together. Floes are formed whose size and settling...
