Hindcasting Westerschelde mouth morphodynamics (1963-2011)

Within the framework of the Agenda for the Future defined by the Flanders-Dutch Scheidt Committee (VNSC), the Flanders Ministry of Public Works, department of Maritime Access (MOW-aMT) requested Deltares to carry out morphological research on the Westerscheide Mouth together with Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium Borgerhout (WL). In particular, this research concerns a Delft3D hindeast of the morphological developments of the Westerscheide mouth over the 1963-2011 period. This study thus provides an overiewof how process-based modeling efforts can contribute to predicting decadal time scale morphad... Mehr ...
