Cross-sectional stability of tidal inlets using a process-based model: Application of a process-based model to compute the equilibrium cross-sectional areas of the Frisian inlet

In this thesis the equilibrium cross-sectional areas of a tidal inlet are investigated. The most common used methods to study cross-sectional stability are the Escoffier method (Escoffier, 1940) and the Modified Escoffier method (Van de Kreeke, 2004). The Escoffier methods are mainly empirical and lack physical justification. Therefore, in this...
