Stability of morphological cells to dredging-dumping activities

The Westerschelde estuary in the South-West of the Netherlands displays two meandering flood and ebb channels separated by shoals. The system of flood, ebb channel and shoal between two channel crossings form a morphological cell. The stability of the serial cell system formed by the Westerschelde is important for the navigation route to the...

Hydrodynamic forces on a near-bed offshore pipeline with spoiler, during the selfburying process

To prevent offshore submarine pipelines from damage by fishing gear, the formation of dangerous free-spans and excessive wave and current forces, it is a requirement that these pipelines are completely buried under the seabed. Usually pipelines are buried artificially by means of ploughing, digging or jetting in order to meet the requirements of...
