On the Effects of Fine Sediments in Mud Disposal Basins: Towards a better understanding of basin design by means of a numerical modeling study

On the behaviour of fine sediment in settling basins: Improving the understanding and prediction of return water quality assessments by a comparative modelling study

In this study, the behaviour of fine sediment in settlings basins has been investigated. The understanding and prediction of return water quality assessments is improved by a comparative modelling study. Settling basins are required to decrease the exhaust of fine sediment particles when dredging and reclaiming land. Fine sediment particles can...

On physical oceanography of the Santos Estuary

This thesis investigates the origins of large sedimentation volumes in the Port of Santos, São Paulo - Brazil. The port is located in the Santos - São Vicente estuarine system, delimited by scarps and subject to intense rainfall. The terminals are placed inside the estuary and their access is provided by a 24 km long channel with mean depths of...
