Modeling of hydrodynamics and sediment transport in the Mekong Delta

Deltas are low-lying plains which are formed when river sediments deposit in coastal environments. Deltas are nutrient-rich, and productive ecological and agricultural areas with high socio-economic importance. Globally, deltas are home to about 500 million people and are considerably modified by human activities. In addition, they are...

Multiple scales of suspendend sediment dynamics in a complex geometry estuary

Many estuaries are located in urbanized, highly engineered environments. Cohesive sediment plays an important role because of its affect on estuarine health and ecology. An important ecological parameter is the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) translated into turbidity levels and sediment budget. Veel estuaria zijn gelegen in...

Swan predictions of nearshore wave climate at Nam Dinh coast of Vietnam

Among a variety of elements, the nearshore wave elimate is considered to be the most important aspect to explain erosion problems along the coast. Oue to the fact that available data is limited, numerical models are valuable and necessary tools to apply. This study is initiated with the main objective to study the nearshore wave elimate of the...

A Preliminary Study on Hydrodynamics of the Tam Giang - Cau Hai Lagoon and Tidal Inlet System in the Thua Thien-Hue Province, Vietnam

The Tarn Giang-Cau Hai lagoon is the most important coastal lagoon of Vietnam located in Thua Thien-Hue province. Basically formed in the late Holocene (more than 2000 years ago), the lagoon is being in the development stage. Its tidal inlets, nowadays are the Thuan An and Tu Hien inlets, are dynamic and ephemeral morphological features. Inlet...

Probabilistic design and risk analysis for the Duong river dike in the Red River delta in Vietnam

Traditionally, the design of sea and river dikes in Vietnam is primarily based on a water level with a particular frequency of being exceeded. The frequencies of exceedence of design levels and governing discharge are widely regarded as constituting a standard for the safety of the region protected by the dikes and are interpreted in terms of...

Coping with floods: A comparative study of strategies used in Vietnam, China and USA

Throughout history, rivers have provided people with ideal settings for development, which includes fertile farmland, water supply, convenient waterway for transportation and commerce, waste disposal and energy generation, which are essential for the expansion of human civilisation. Ironically, rivers often flood their banks, threatening the...
