Numerical modelling of bottom vanes in a 2DH hydrodynamic model : The case of the Lek River, the Netherlands

Navigable rivers are considered one of the most important elements in the Netherlands' transport chain, including its logistic infrastructures, which must be continually improved. However, the impacts of such improvements to the ecological system should be carefully considered as well. Although inland transportation is regarded as more environmentally friendly than many modes of transportation, improving it requires addressing many challenges. One is improving navigation at bends, and that is because of the presence of point bars, which reduce the available navigational channel size. The navig... Mehr ...
