Planform changes and overbank flow in meandering rivers: The river Allier

In this study the river migration model MIANDRAS has been applied to simulations of the planform changes of the river Allier, a tributary of the river Loire in France. The Allier is a very dynamic and natural river system with braided and meandering river sections. Two meandering reaches of the Allier, located between Varennes-sur-Allier and...

Morphological modelling of Lai Giang Inlet, Vietnam.

The Lai Giang inlet located in Binh Dinh province incorporates various features of the estuaries in the Central part of Vietnam. Belonging to the micro-tidal and wave-dominant coast and influenced by the monsoon regime, the inlet has a seasonal character. During the dry season, as the river flow diminishes, the wave action causes high level of...

Report of the practical training done in the general directorate of ports in Portugal, during the months september and october 1986

This is not the main report, but the partial report. Portugal has a coast of approximately 800 km containing a lot of interesting coastal phenomena, such as estuaries, land spits, rock coasts, lagoons, cliffs and rias (areas af sandbanks and canals in open connection with the sea). Also a lot a different harbours can be found along this coast....

Long-term morphological model of Poole Harbour

The study focuses on the impact of human interventions on the natural behaviour of estuaries in response to sea-level rise. In particular it focuses on the affect of managed realignment on the critical sea level rise (SLRcrit) for the Poole Harbour. Numerical model ASMITA (Aggregated Scale Morphological Interaction between a Tidal inlet and the...

Sedimentatie in natte stroken

Om flora en fauna de kans te geven zich langs scheepvaartwegen te vestigen en voort te planten zijn natuurvriendelijke oevers nodig. Voor kanalen is een speciale natuurvriendelijke oever ontworpen : de natte strook. Tijdens onderzoeken naar het functioneren van de natte strook is een verondieping hiervan geconstateerd, hetgeen, in verband met...

Seed-sediment Dynamics: An experimental study into the behaviour of seagrass seeds in a sand mixture informing a novel approach for large scale seagrass restoration

<br/>In response to the sharp decline of seagrass globally, various restoration techniques have been developed and applied; many at limited scale and with limited success. This research focuses on the fluid mechanics and behaviour of seagrass seeds in a sand mixture through physical laboratory experiments. The objective is to establish a...
