Experimental study investigating various shoreface nourishment designs

This experimental study focuses on the morphological development of a near-equilibrium profile on which to types of shoreface nourishments are placed. As previous studies have indicated that the efficiency of nourishments is mainly influenced by water depth in which they are constructed, two cross-shore locations are considered for an accretive...

Morphology of Pits, Channels and Trenches Part 1: Literature review and study approach Part 2: Verification of Delft3D with PUTMOR dataset Part 3: Investigation of the longshore and cross-shore impact of various designs

For several years the large-scale mining of sand from the Dutch Sector of the North sea is in discussion related to the need of sand for shoreface, beach and dune nourishment and large-scale engineering works at sea (Maasvlakte extension, airport at sea). The mining methods considered, basically fall into two categories: wide, shallow or small,...
