Chenier Formation Through Wave Winnowing and Tides

Cheniers are ridges consisting of coarse-grained sediments, resting on top of the fine sediment that forms the otherwise muddy coast. In this paper, we use Delft3D to explore how cheniers are formed through wave winnowing. We identify three phases of chenier development: (a) a winnowing phase, during which mud is washed out of the seabed...

Study of Sediment Transport in a Tidal Channel-Shoal System: Lateral Effects and Slack-Water Dynamics

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...

Wind-, golf-, en stromingsgeïnduceerd sedimenttransport in kribvakken langs de Waal

Kribvakmetingen Druten/Ochten juli 1996 tot april 1997. Onderzoek naar de sedimenthuishouding van een viertal kribvakken langs de Waal. Het onderzoek betreft een studie naar de hydrodynamische invloed van scheepvaart op de sedimenthuishouding en de invloed van eolisch zandtransport op de sedimenthuishouding in vier kribvakken langs de Waal. Het...
