Development of a harbour design toolbox
Opportunities for multidisciplinary rapid assessment in harbour development
A prototype harbour design toolbox has been developed, with a Graphical User Interface, incorporating simple model instruments to rapidly assess the impact of a harbour construction on a coastal environment, such as expected siltation rates and impact on the coastline evolutio ...
A study of siltation processes was undertaken for the harbour of Harlingen in the Netherlands, to investigate their relative importance for potential sedimentation. Three distinct harbour siltation processes were studied: tidal filling and emptying, horizontal eddy circulation ...
The Morphological Acceleration Factor (MORFAC) approach for morphodynamic upscaling enables the simulation of long term coastal evolution. However the general validity of the MORFAC concept for coastal applications has not yet been comprehensively investigated. Furthermore, a ...
The Guyana coastal system is characterized by very thick deposits of Amazon mud and high mud concentrations in its coastal waters. The mud deposits can be quite soft and may liquefy under incoming waves. Subsequently, the liquefied mud damps the incoming waves effectively. Thi ...
