Sediment exchange between flats and channels in tidal inlets

The subject of this thesis is the sediment exchange between channels and flats in tidal inlets. This topic is part of a research scheme which must yield more insight into the dynamic equilibrium of tidal inlets. An important aspect of the sediment exchange is the drying and flooding of the flats during the tide. The oscillating water level gives...

Stromingsberekeningen in het Friesche Zeegat

The Friesche Zeegat area is situated in the northeast of the Netherlands and is a part of the Dutch Waddensea. The Friesche Zeegat area consists of the barrier Islands Ameland and Schiermonnikoog and a part of the Waddensea. Drainage occurs through tidal channels and the major tidal inlets. Seawards of the inlet, an ebb-tidal delta occurs. The...

Morphological modelling of tidal inlets in the Wadden Sea

The purpose of this study is to develop a suitable model to predict morphological changes in tidal inlets. Several morphological models already exist, but they all have their limitations. In this study is chosen for the morphological program ESTMORF. Until this moment the model ESTMORF is only verified for the channel cross-sectional areas and...
