Liptiay, E.J.A. (author), Blom, A. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author)Over the past century, the main channel of the Waal has experienced erosion of approx-imately 1-2 metres (Ylla Arb´os et al., 2021; Chowdhury et al., 2023). This erosion leads to various problems such as instability of struc-tures or disruption to shipping. To address this ongoing degradation, a potential solution is the implementation of...abstract 2024

Ylla Arbos, C. (author), Blom, A. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author)Climate change puts pressure on river systems, as it increasingly alters the river controls. Engineered rivers with a fixed planform respond to climate change and human intervention by adjusting the channel slope and bed surface grain size distribution. This response often consists of channel bed incision, over hundreds of kilometres, and during...abstract 2023

Ylla Arbos, C. (author), Blom, A. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author)Human intervention makes river channels adjust their slope and bed surface grain size as they transition to a new equilibrium state in response to engineering measures. Climate change alters the river controls through hydrograph changes and sea level rise. We assess how channel response to climate change compares to channel response to human...journal article 2023

Chavarrías, Víctor (author), Ottevanger, Willem (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Mosselman, E. (author)Predicting the formation and break-up of immobile layers is of crucial importance for river management, as these processes greatly affect the morphodynamic evolution of the river bed. Two models are currently available for studying these processes: Struiksma's and Hirano's model. In this paper, we show that both models present limitations. This...journal article 2022

Kirichek, Alex (author), Cronin, Katherine (author), de Wit, Lynyrd (author), Meshkati, Ebi (author), Pennekamp, Johan (author), Wijdeveld, Arjan J. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author)Water Injection Dredging (WID) has been successfully applied for removing sediment deposits in reservoirs, which results in an increase of their storage capacity. This dredging method is based on the fluidization of the top sediment layer by pressurized injection of water by a dredging vessel. The fluidized sediment can be transported towards...conference paper 2022

Huismans, Y. (author), Koopmans, H. (author), Wiersma, Ane (author), de Haas, Tjalling (author), Berends, Koen (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Stouthamer, Esther (author)River deltas commonly have a heterogeneous substratum of alternating peat, clay and sand deposits. This has important consequences for the river bed development and in particular for scour hole formation. When the substratum consists of an erosion resistant top layer, erosion is retarded. Upon breaking through a resistant top layer and...journal article 2021

van Rooijen, Erik (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Remarkable 3D flow structures occur at river confluences with small density differences due to differences in sediment concentration or temperature. We explain these by comparing numerical simulations for an idealized confluence with aerial photographs of several river confluences where color differences express the pattern of density...journal article 2020

Vermeulen, Bart (author), Boersema, Matthijs (author), Hoitink, Ton (author), Sieben, Arjan (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Van Der Wal, Maarten (author)Longitudinal training dams (LTDs) are a promising alternative for river groynes. Here we summarize findings of a recent study focused on the along river transition from a series of river groynes to an LTD, where the flow divides between the fairway and the side channel between the LTD and the river bank. A scale model is setup using...journal article 2018

(author), Sosa, J. (author), van Verseveld, WJ (author), Schellekens, J. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author)The West African coastal barrier is maintained by significant wave-driven longshore sand transport. This sand originates from rivers and large coastal sand deposits. Today, however, much of the fluvial sand is trapped behind river dams and/or interrupted at several locations by port jetties. As a result, the sandy coastal barrier is eroding...journal article 2018

van Rooijen, E.J. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Confluences are fascinating elements in river systems. The merging of tributary rivers produces complex hydrodynamics that can play an important role in sediment transport problems, ecological studies or the routing of a pollutant. If the two merging rivers originate from different regions they can have different characteristics. One such a...abstract 2017

(author), Middelkoop, Hans (author)Sediment deposition is one of the key mechanisms to counteract the impact of sea level rise in tidal freshwater wetlands (TFWs). However, information about sediment deposition rates in TFWs is limited, especially for those located in the transition zone between the fluvially dominated and tidally dominated sections of a river delta where...journal article 2017

Van Zuylen, J.A. (author), Sloff, C.J. (author)This study deals with the development of deep scour holes in the river bed of the Dutch Rhine delta in the Netherlands. Assessment of multi-beam surveys, laboratory-flume experiments, and 3D numerical modelling, shows how fast this type of scour holes grows in depth and width and which are the relevant processes.conference paper 2015

(author)Appropriate operation strategies that allow for sediment flushing and sluicing (sediment routing) can reduce rapid storage losses of (hydropower and water-supply) reservoirs. In this study we have shown, using field observations and computational models, that the efficiency of these operations increases when utilizing dynamics of flow and...conference paper 2015

(author)We present a 3-D physics-based high-resolution modeling approach to the dynamics of underwater ripples and dunes. The flow is modeled by large eddy simulation on a Cartesian grid with local refinements. The sediment transport is modeled by computing pickup, transport over the bed, transport in the water column, and deposition of rigid spherical...journal article 2013
