The hydrodynamics of an eco-innovative sediment reuse project in the Rotterdam Waterway

Gaining insight into the physics and the predictive capability of two operational hydrodynamic models

Phenomena like sea level rise, global warming and erosion together contribute to increasing flood risk in vulnerable coastal areas. As this flood risk increases, initiatives to mitigate the effects of climate change in the coastal zone are also increasingly sought. During recent ...

Suspended sediment behaviour of a reallocation pilot study in the port of Rotterdam

Gaining insight into the sediment dynamics of a reallocation pilot study, by using model hindcasts and measurements

The port of Rotterdam is located within the Rhine-Meuse estuary where a substantial amount of fine sediment transport takes place. Therefore, the port of Rotterdam is subject to significant siltation, requiring maintenance dredging to guarantee a sufficient nautical depth of fair ...

Sediment traps

For reducing maintenance dredging costs in the port of Rotterdam

Regular maintainance dredging is a large expense to the Port of Rotterdam, therefore the installation of sediment traps is considered. By increasing the bathymetry locally, an increase of local accumulation is expected and a decrease deeper in the harbour basin. This thesis descr ...
