Damping of ship-induced primary waves: Damping ship-induced primary waves in rivers by modifying groynes with the aim of increasing fauna habitat quality

Ships in rivers create waves and these can have a negative impact on fish habitats along the river banks. A modelling study is carried out to investigate how these ship-induced waves can be damped in groyne fields by making structural modifications to the groynes. For this purpose, different types of openings (notches) are applied to the groynes...
