Large-scale and local morphological impact along the northern side of DELTA 21

This report investigates the long-term morphological changes caused by the DELTA 21 project at the northern side, including the large scale morphological development with Delft3D model and at local scale the coastline deformation with UNIBEST-CL model. The necessity of the layout design improvement of DELTA 21 is analyzed by comparing different...

A fundamental study of the Morphological Acceleration Factor

Long-term prediction of sediment transport and morphology has become increasingly important. One of the key issues in carrying out long-term modeling is to bridge the gap between short-term hydrodynamics varying from hours to days, and morphological changes, taking place over much longer periods. Lesser et al. (2004) and Roelvink (2006) have...
