Cross-sectional stability of tidal inlets using a process-based model: Application of a process-based model to compute the equilibrium cross-sectional areas of the Frisian inlet

In this thesis the equilibrium cross-sectional areas of a tidal inlet are investigated. The most common used methods to study cross-sectional stability are the Escoffier method (Escoffier, 1940) and the Modified Escoffier method (Van de Kreeke, 2004). The Escoffier methods are mainly empirical and lack physical justification. Therefore, in this...

Morphodynamics of Hue tidal inlets

Morphodynamics of a tidal inlet system on a micro-tidal coast in a tropical monsoon influenced region is modeled 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 behavior of the inlet...
