Two-channel system dynamics of the outer weser estuary—a modeling study

In this paper, we unravel the mechanisms responsible for the development of the two-channel system in the Outer Weser Estuary. A process-based morphodynamic model is built based on a flat-bed approach using simplified boundary conditions and accelerated morphological develop-ment. The results are analyzed in two steps: first, by checking for...

Set-Up of a Process-based Model to Investigate the Outer Weser Estuary Development: Long-term morphological modeling with Delft 3D to hindcast the genesis and development of channel - shoal patterns in the Outer Weser estuary

This graduation project investigates the main processes that are influencing the morphological development of the Outer Weser estuary by setting up a process-based model (Delft 3D) and applying it by means of simulating multiple scenarios, each driven by a different forcing. The aim of this project is to gain insight into the causes for the...
