Sediment exchange between the main channel and the groyne fields of a river

Report on a physical scale model test in the Fluid Mechanics lab on the effect of groynes on the bed and sediment transport in rivers.

Morphological modelling for rivers with non-uniform flow

In Chapter I a derivation of the equations and an extension of the mathematical model will be carried out. The sediment-mixture is separated in a number of fractions - each with a representative grain size - and the equations describing the sediment-movement are split up for every fraction separately. In order to get some insight in the new...
