Research on bifurcations in rivers

One of the unsolved problems in the water resource engineering is the morphological behaviour of bifurcations in rivers. Bifurcations can be found in deltas, in estuaries and in braided rivers. When modelling river reaches which contain a bifurcation, a nodal point relation is needed. The problem is to determine this nodal point relation. The...

1-D morphological river models: Schematisation and interpretation

This study contains two topics which are important for the use of a one-dimensional computer model, calculating morphological changes in time. Firstly, for a good prediction of the morphological changes by the model a good reproduction of the water movement and the sediment movement is necessary. One of the conditions for a good reproduction of...
