Analysis of the effects of process variations on delta morphology and stratigraphy in Delft3D computational models

Deltaic reservoirs are of great significance in both exploration and production of oil & gas and they have aroused increasing interest during the recent years. Coastal engineering deals with sediment transport on a millisecond and micron scale, while geology deals with sequence stratigraphy on a millenary and 10-100 km scale. However, relatively...

Analysis of the tide on the Hooghly River: Calibration and alteration of a model computing the vertical distribution of the suspended sediment under non-permanent flow conditions

The Hooghly river is situated in West Bengal, a Northeastem state of India. The capital of West Bengal is Calcutta. (See figure 1). The discharge from all the eastem and western tributaries, and from the direct head from the Ganga, flows into the Bay of Bengal through the Hooghly estuary. The Hooghly delta is part of the Indo-Gangetic delta. The...
