Zhou, Z. (author), Ge, Jianzhong (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Kuai, Y. (author), Ding, Pingxing (author)Lateral flows redistribute sediment and influence the morphodynamics of channel-shoal systems. However, our understanding of lateral transport of suspended sediment during high and low water slack is still fairly limited, especially in engineered estuaries. Human interventions such as dike-groyne structures influence lateral exchange...journal article 2021

(author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Estuarine intertidal areas are shaped by combined astronomical and meteorological forces. This paper reveals the relative importance of tide, surge, wind, and waves for the flow and sediment transport on large intertidal shoals. Results of an intensive field campaign have been used to validate a numerical model of the Roggenplaat intertidal...journal article 2018

Marciano, R. (author), Wang, Z.B. (author), Hibma, A. (author), De Vriend, H.J. (author), Defina, A. (author)We model branching channel patterns in short tidal basins with two methods. A theoretical stability analysis leads to a relationship between the number of channels and physical parameters of the tidal system. The analysis reveals that width and spacing of the channels should decrease as the slope of the bottom profile and the Shields parameter...journal article 2005
