Analysis of concentration and grain size distributions based on a diffusion concept

Gradients in sediment transport due to waves and currents cause coastal changes and sediment transport is an important subject in coastal engineering research. It is therefore necessary to predict the sediment transport rates in the coastal region. Various formulae are available to predict the sediment transport rates, for example the sediment...

Net sediment transport under sheet flow conditions: Measurements in the Large Wave Flume, Hannover

This study focuses on time-averaged sediment transport in oscillatory flow in the sheet flow regime. The tests, used in this study, are part ofthe experiments, carried out under the name SISTEX99 (Small-scale International Sediment Transport Experiments 1999). SISTEX99 focuses on near-bed sediment transport processes under influence of regular...

Modellering van het sedimenttransport over de Plaat van Ossenisse in de Westerschelde

Het bepalen van het sedimenttransport over de Plaat van Ossenisse is van belang om inzicht te krijgen in de processen die een rol spelen bij de aanzanding van de Drempel van Hansweert. Deze drempelligt in de vaargeul ten oosten van de Plaat van Ossenisse. Er is reeds een studie verricht naar drempelvormende mechanismen, maar deze hebben...
