Dense suspension flows, both in the natural environment and industrial settings, are complex phenomena with significant implications. From rivers shaping landscapes to industrial processes involving slurry transport, these flows hold a prominent position in numerous sectors. This thesis delves into a specific facet of these intricate flows:...

Reliable prediction of the erosion rate of sediment beds is important for many applications in coastal and river engineering. Theoretical understanding of empirically derived scaling relations is still lacking. This applies in particular for the scaling anomaly between low and high Shields number conditions. In this work, the erosion process is...

Estuaries are partially enclosed water bodies where river water mixes with sea water. Estuaries provide important ecological functions which are strongly regulated by estuarine hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics, and also by human interventions. Sustainable management of such systems therefore requires a thorough understanding of the interplay...

Lateral flows redistribute sediment and influence the morphodynamics of channel-shoal systems. However, our understanding of lateral transport of suspended sediment during high and low water slack is still fairly limited, especially in engineered estuaries. Human interventions such as dike-groyne structures influence lateral exchange...

In the Waal bed degradation occurs, which is mainly induced by a large number of river regulations measures done in the past. Rijkswaterstaat develops possible measures and new techniques to stop riverbed erosion and/or mitigate the negative effects. One of the possible new techniques to reduce riverbed erosion locally is groyne field...

Considering scenarios of sea level rise, the sediment budget of the Wadden Sea is of interest for both coastal safety and for the maintenance of values of this unique environment. Sand nourishments are foreseen on the ebb-tidal deltas of the Wadden Sea to increase the sediment budget, which requires us to predict the fate of the nourishment....

Wave-supported gravity flows (WSGFs) generate rates of sediment flux far exceeding other cross-shelf transport processes, contributing disproportionately to shelf morphology and net cross-shelf fluxes of sediment in many regions worldwide. However, the conditions deemed necessary for the formation of WSGF limit them to a narrow set of shelf...

Large-scale morphology, in particular meander bend depth, bar dimensions, and bifurcation dynamics, are greatly affected by the deflection of sediment transport on transverse bed slopes due to gravity and by secondary flows. Overestimating the transverse bed slope effect in morphodynamic models leads to flattening of the morphology, while...

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...

The current report aims to understand the hydro- and morphodynamic response of the Western Scheldt in a large sediment dumping operation. This study investigates the estuary’s response to sediment dumping in the Everingen channel area, which is located in the middle of the Scheldt Estuary, The Netherlands. Furthermore, it studies whether these...

Hyperconcentrated flow/flood is a water-driven sediment transport phenomenon, which is characterized by high sediment concentrations between normal sediment-laden flow and debris/mud flow. In a hyperconcentrated flow, strong interactions exist between water flow, sediment, and river bed, which may not only change the flow rheological properties,...

Alluvial open channel beds often exhibit statistically periodic irregularities, known as dunes. Dunes have considerable effects on sediment transport and flow resistance. When growing during a flood, the dunes create more resistance and flood levels may rise significantly. Accurate prediction of dune properties therefore contributes to effective...

De laaggelegen delen van Nederland en de gebieden langs de rivieren worden tegen hoog water beschennd met een stelsel van waterkeringen, waaronder dijken. Over dijkbouw is veel bekend, maar over het bezwijken van een dijk veel minder. Dit is wel een steeds belangrijker wordend onderwerp. In de probabilistiek wordt met het mogelijk falen van een...

The main goals of this study are to obtain more insight and quantitative data of the selective transport process under sheet flow conditions. Experiments were carried out in the Large Oscillating Water Tunnel of WL DELFT HYDRAUUCS for five different hydraulic conditions. The sand that was used consisted of a mixture of 50% fine (0. 13mm) and 50%...

This study consists of three sections: - experiments on sand transport in oscillatory sheet flow with two sands (D50 = 0.21 and 0.32 mm) - verification of three existing sediment transport models - extension of these models to include the gradation of the sediment The experiments are performed in the Large Oscillating Water Tunnel (see also data...

The objective of the present work is to see whether the transport of sediment in a turbulent free surface flow can be studied with a new method of video image analysis, called the Two-Dimensional Particle Tracking Velocimetry. A slice of a two-dimensional turbulent flow in a laboratory flume is illuminated and particles are injected. After the...

Langendoen, E.J. (author)
Many harbors in the world suffer from siltation in their basins and in many cases removal of the deposited sediment leads to high costs. This siltation results from a net transport of sediment into the harbor caused by the water motion in the harbor entrance. The water motion is very complex and of a three-dimensional nature. Three main...
