Input reduction for long-term morphodynamic simulations

Input reduction is imperative to long-term (> years) morphodynamic simulations to avoid excessive computation times. Here, we discuss the input-reduction framework for wave-dominated coastal settings introduced by Walstra et al. (2013). The framework comprised 4 steps, viz. (1) the selection of the duration of the original (full) time series of...

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...

Stortcapaciteit en stabiliteit van het meergeulensysteem in het Eems-Dollard estuarium: Operationalisering en toepassing van het Cellenconcept

Morphological modelling of an artificial sand ridge near Hoek van Holland, the Netherlands

Preliminary analysis of sand transport measurements at Noordwijk site, North Sea

Massive mining of sand from the middle and lower shoreface (depths of 10-30 m) in large-scale mining and borrow pits will be required in future in many European countries to nourish coastal beaches and dunes in response to increased coastal erosion due to expected sea level rise. The offshore mining of sand will require fundamental knowledge of...
