Idealised tidal dynamics in an estuary with a horizontally movable time dependent barrier: A contribution to one of the possible solutions of the sludge problem in the Eems estuary

In this thesis the hydrodynamic behaviour of an idealised relatively short tidal estuary is studied using a cross-sectionally averaged model, i.e. a one dimensional model. The geometry of the estuary is simplified and only the hydrodynamic processes are considered. This model is used to gain insight in the behaviour of currents and water levels...
