Morphodynamics of estuarine navigation channel

The port of Kandla, which is situated in the north west of India and is subject to a large tidal variation of about 5 metres, is preparing a major expansion plan. The capacity of the harbour will be increased in two ways. Firstly the construction of several berths and jetties will allow more ships to be handled on a yearly basis. Secondly...

Morphological modelling of ebb and flood channel systems in estuaries

The morphological behaviour of estuaries is complex and at present (1995) not well understood. Ebb and flood channels play an important role in the morphological behaviour of an estuary. In order to get more insight in the morphological behaviour of such systems it is studied whether a 1-D morphodynamic network model gives insight in this...
