The impact of the Rhine ROFI on the alongshore variability in cross-shore sediment transport of the Holland coast

The Rhine ROFI ( region of freshwater influence) is a dynamic area where various processes and timescales come together. Research has shown that stratification caused by the freshwater outflow of the Rhine alters the tidal currents in front of the Dutch coast. In the case of the Netherlands the tide behaves like a kelvin wave, which causes...

Impact Assessment of the Rhine ROFI on the Annual Cross-shore Sand Transport

Using D-Flow Flexible Mesh numerical software to simulate the region of freshwater influence of the Rhine in front of the Dutch coast to assess the influence of stratification on the near-bottom velocities and the related cross shore sand transport.
