Longshore sediment transport by large-scale lake circulations at low-energy, non-tidal beaches: A field and model study

Low-energy, non-tidal lake beaches are known to be subject to longshore morphodynamics, but little is known about how they are driven by wind and wave-driven currents. Lake Markermeer is a shallow (∼4 m deep), wind-dominated lake, of approximately 700 km². A gradient in wind-induced water level set-up at the leeward shore induces a...

Numerical modeling of sediment transport over hydraulic structures

Hydraulic structures are present in the designs of different Room for the River projects in the Netherlands. Examples are longitudinal weirs, groins, summer dikes and weirs in the inlet of a side channel. Morphological simulations with Delft3D are frequently carried out to investigate the effect of such projects on for example hindrance for...
