Verification of morphodynamic models on channels, trenches and pits

This study is part of the SAND PIT project, which objective is to develop reliable prediction techniques and guidelines to better understand, simulate, and predict the morphological behaviour of large-scale sand mining pits and the associated sand processes at the middle and lower shoreface as well as in the surrounding coastal zone. In this...

Large-scale sandpits - Hydrodynamic and morphological modelling of large-scale sandpits

Large-scale, marine sand mining in front ofthe Dutch coast might be necessary in the near future in order to meet the needs of sand for regular engineering works and/or for a possible second Maasvlakte or a national airport on an artificial island. In order to make a socio-economically and environmentally sound decision with respect to location...
