Suspended sediment behaviour of a reallocation pilot study in the port of Rotterdam: Gaining insight into the sediment dynamics of a reallocation pilot study, by using model hindcasts and measurements

The port of Rotterdam is located within the Rhine-Meuse estuary where a substantial amount of fine sediment transport takes place. Therefore, the port of Rotterdam is subject to significant siltation, requiring maintenance dredging to guarantee a sufficient nautical depth of fairways and harbour basins. To optimise the dredging strategy in the...
