The economic risk for inland water transport due to uncertainty in morphodynamic behaviour

River systems are vastly changing environments, not only due to natural process, but also human intervention plays an important role. With the many different river functions at play, large amounts of maintenance budgets are associated with river management. For decision makers it is important to know expected costs or losses and the spread...

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...

Modellering morfodynamisch gedrag van de Drempel van Hansweert

Onderdeel van dit project is het simuleren van het morfologisch gedrag van ren van de drempels, de Drempel van Hansweert, met een morfologisch computermodel. Dit verslag beschrijft de eerste van twee fasen van dit projekt waarin de modelbouw en de simulatie van de huidige situatie wordt beschreven. In de tweede fase zullen diverse...
