Port and channel sedimentation: A hybrid model for rapid assessments

Maintenance dredging, as a result of port and channel sedimentation, can have a large share in overall maintenance costs of a port. A smart design can minimize the amount of maintenance dredging and thus improve the profitability of a port but also the long-term sustainability. As the preliminary design stages are often decisive for the final...

The current deflecting wall in a tidal harbour with density influences

Siltation is a serious problem for harbours situated on tidal rivers and estuaries. Maintenance dredging is necessary on a regular basis to guarantee safe navigation and is often a large cost factor. A means to prevent sediment from entering a harbour is the Current Deflecting Wall (CDW), which passively alters the water exchange at the harbour...
