Abstract
Tidal basins are connected to the outer sea by one or more tidal inlets. In this presentation, we focus on so-called double inlet systems, i.e., tidal inlet systems with two connecting channels. A typical example is the Marsdiep-Vlie system, located in the Dutch Wadden Sea. Using an idealized morphodynamic model, we aim at directly finding morphodynamic equilibria of double inlet systems and assess their stability. For unstable configurations, the linear stability mechanism will be presented.
