Seasonal behaviour of tidal inlets in a tropical monsoon area

Morphodynamics of a tidal inlet system on a micro-tidal coast in a tropical monsoon influenced region is modelled and discussed. Influences of river flow and wave climate on the inlet morphology are investigated with the aid of process-based state-of-the-art numerical models. Seasonal and episodic behaviour of the inlet system under the...

Morphodynamics of Hue tidal inlets, Vietnam

Morphodynamics of a tidal inlet system on a micro-tidal coast in a tropical monsoon influenced region is modelled and discussed. Effects of tides, waves, river flows and system configuration on the inlet morphologies are investigated with the aid of process-based state-of-the-art numerical models. Seasonal and episodic behaviour of the inlet...

The influence of river floods on coastal inlet morphology

The influence of river flood on the coastal inlet morphology is investigated with the aid of process based state-of-the-art numerical models. Hydrodynamics of tidal inlets during a severe flood situation and behavior of the inlets are described and explained.

Hydro-morphological study Douro estuary part 9: Hydro-morphological mathematical model

As a continuation of the initial study on the morphology of the Douro mouth, performed by Hydronamic in 1982, the Administracao dos Portos do Douro e Leixoes commisioned Hydronamic bv to construct a mathematical hydro-morphological model of the Douro mouth. This second part of the morphological study of the Douro mouth is divided into three...

Morphology of the mouth of the river Douro (Portugal)

The river Douro debouches into the Atlantic Ocean near Oporto (Portugal) with a funnel-shaped mouth, partly closed from the ocean with a sand spit. Both the wave-induced longshore sediment transport as the sediment yield of the river are limited by the available quantity of sediment (non-alluvial conditions). The results of some sediment...

Hydro-morphological study Douro Estuary (7) - measurements

As a continuation of the initial study on the morphology of the Douro mouth performed by Hydronamic in 1982, the Administracao dos Portos de Douro e Leixoes commissioned by Hydronamic bv to construct a mathematical hydro-morphological model of the Douro mouth. Within the framework of the study also a second measuring campaign was commissioned,...

Hydro-morphological study Douro Estuary (8); Analysis of old charts

As a continuation of the initial study on the morphology of the Douro mouth, performed by Hydronamic in 1982, the Administracao dos Portos de Douro e Leixoes commisioned Hydronamic bv to construct a mathematical hydro-morphological model of the Douro mouth. Within the framework of the study an analysis of old charts, available in the archivas of...

Man-made Islands in the Mackenzie river: Numerical modelling of ice jam development and release

Man-made islands in the Mackenzie river (Canada) for oil exploitation may obstruct the free flow of ice during spring break up. These ice dams may cause considerable rise of the water level in the rivers, resulting in floods. A numerical model is presented to simulate ice dam formation an river floods.

Hydro-morphogical study Douro Estuary

The Administracao dos Portos do Douro e Leixoes is confronted with the fact that future expansion of the port area of Leixoes is limited by the surrounding hills and urbanization. One of the alternatives for future expansion might be the creation of port facilities in the Douro estuary, where a relatively large, flat area is available. However,...

Man-made islands in Mackenzie River: Evaluation of hydraulic design

Norman Hells is situated on the north bank of the Mackenzie River, 145 km south of the Arctic Circle. The use of a pool-wide water flood system for secondary recovery and the features of the oil-bearing structure require six man-made platforms to provide vertical access to the portion of the oil pool that 1 ies beneath the Mackenzie River (60%)....

Luanika waterway

During the dry season shipping between Mongu and Kalabo is impossible, therefore this project was started to improve the situation by dredging. Dredging was started at Mongu harbour, where a new dredger was delivered, assembled and launched. Due to the urgency of the project dredging had to be started before a profound survey concerning the...
