Van Veen, J. (author)The present paper, "Eb- en vloedschaarsystemen in de Nederlandse getijwateren" (Ebb- and floodchannel systems in the Dutch tidal waters), which was published in 1950, should be considered as Van Veen's most important publication since his thesis. It summarizes the results of 20 years of intensive study of estuarine and tidal-basin morphodynamics...report 1950

Kranenburg, C. (author)In this article some field observations, made in recent years, of internal wave motions in a density-stratified estuary are presented, In order to facilitate the appreciation of the results, and to make some quantitative comparisons, the relevant theory is also summarized. Furthermore, the origins of stratification in estuaries is briefly...report 1991

Bakker, W.T. (author)Contains basic paper plus background supplements. Areas like the Western Wadden area have a length of approximately 1/4 of a tidal wave length. Therefore tidal motion is sensible for resonance. It is investigated, under which circumstances morphological instabilities may occur. Instabilities are defined in this way, that small depth increments...conference paper 1993

Van der Ham, R. (author)In 1993 an interdisciplinary research programme on the behaviour of mud in tidal waters was initiated by the The Board of NWO-BOA. The programme aims at obtaining more detailed insight in the dominant processes that govern the transport behaviour of mud. These processes have strong time variability and therefore the general approach is to obtain...report 1996

(author)The present paper describes an analysis of the morphological integrityof the multiple channel system (MCS) of the Western Scheldt estuary. The tidal flats and surrounding ebb and flood channels form morphological cells, and the entire MCS can be schematized as a chain of such cells. The major ebb and flood channels have lost their one time...conference paper 2001

Shi, Y.B. (author)The Feiyun River, with a length of 203 km and a catchment area of 3252 km2, is one of eight rivers in Zheijiang Province (see fig.1-1), China. It flows into the East China Sea in Shangwang of Ruian City. The source of Feiyun River is at Xialing located in the border between Zheijiang and Fujian Province. The tidal influence can reach up the...report 2003

Hibma, A. (author)In this research, the initial formation and long-term evolution of channel-shoal patterns in schematised basins is simulated using a model based on the software package Delft3D. The resulting channel-shoal patterns are validated with field observations, among which the Western Scheldt estuary. This has proven that a complex model is able to...doctoral thesis 2004

Marciano, R. (author), Wang, Z.B. (author), Hibma, A. (author), De Vriend, H.J. (author), Defina, A. (author)We model branching channel patterns in short tidal basins with two methods. A theoretical stability analysis leads to a relationship between the number of channels and physical parameters of the tidal system. The analysis reveals that width and spacing of the channels should decrease as the slope of the bottom profile and the Shields parameter...journal article 2005

Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Veling, E.J.M. (author)Observations in estuaries indicate that an amplified tidal wave moves considerably faster than is indicated by the classical equation for wave propagation. Similarly, the celerity of propagation is lower if the tidal wave is damped. This phenomenon is clearly observed in the Schelde estuary (located in the Netherlands and Belgium) and in the...journal article 2005

Huijts, K.M.H. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), De Swart, H.E. (author), Valle-Levinson, A. (author)Two physical mechanisms leading to lateral accumulation of sediment in tidally dominated estuaries are investigated, involving Coriolis forcing and lateral density gradients. An idealized model is used that consists of the three?dimensional shallow water equations and sediment mass balance. Conditions are assumed to be uniform in the along...journal article 2006

Missiaen, T. (author), Slob, E. (author), Donselaar, M.E. (author)In order to validate existing models of sedimentation in active sedimentary environments, detailed stratigraphic information is indispensable. Near-surface geophysical methods provide a means to acquire high-resolution images of the stratigraphic succession in the shallow subsurface. Land-based and marine methods have been tested in the...journal article 2008

(author)To assess the role of macrofauna-mediated sediment changes on nematode community recovery, we examined the temporal development of macrobenthos, nematode communities and sediment properties following hypoxia in 16 m2 replicated plots over a 6 mo period. Hypoxia drastically changed nematode community composition (i.e. reduced diversity and...journal article 2009

Ter Brake, M.C. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)In many tidal embayments, bottom patterns, such as the channel-shoal systems of the Wadden Sea, are observed. To gain understanding of the mechanisms that result in these bottom patterns, an idealized model is developed and analyzed for short tidal embayments. In this model, the water motion is described by the depth- and width-averaged shallow...journal article 2009

The transect has a symmetrical Gaussian cross-channel bottom profile. For a deep, well-mixed, tidally dominated...journal article 2009

Chernetsky, A.S. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Talke, S.A. (author)Over decades and centuries, the mean depth of estuaries changes due to sea-level rise, land subsidence, infilling, and dredging projects. These processes produce changes in relative roughness (friction) and mixing, resulting in fundamental changes in the characteristics of the horizontal (velocity) and vertical tides (sea surface elevation) and...journal article 2010

These measurements are the first to elucidate the processes influencing the along-channel current structure and the excursion of the salt wedge in this estuary. The salt wedge structure remained stable throughout the measuring period. The...journal article 2011
