River Modeling

Based on the results of field observation in a tidal river, modeling of sediment transport processes is performed and the suspended sediment transport over a long term is simulated with a newly developed procedure, in which the Lagrangian reference frame is used in order to reduce numerical dispersion. The suspended sediment transport in the tidal river is calculated with erosion and deposition of sediments, consolidation of fluid mud to bed mud, and transport by turbidity current. Sediment transport processes concerned with formation and maintenance of turbidity maxima are sufficiently simulated for a fortnightly cycle with the Lagrangian sediment transport model (LSTM).

Basic And Applied Research

An overview of cohesive sediment transport processes is given in this paper, and a mass-balance equation that is commonly used to treat cohesive sediment transport is reviewed. The equation highlights transport parameters and processes that are important for modelling the transport of cohesive sediment. The flocculation mechanism that distinguishes cohesive sediment from its noncohesive counterpart is elaborated using a laboratory study that was carried out in a rotating circular flume using sediments from Hay River, Northwest Territories, Canada. A mathematical model of flocculation suitable for predicting flocculation of sediment in rotating circular flumes is reviewed. Other cohesive sediment transport processes such as erosion and deposition processes at the sediment-water interface, entrapment of fines in gravel beds, consolidation, fluid mud, and fluidization due to wave action are reviewed. Additional challenges and knowledge gaps that exist in the area of cohesive sediment transport are identified. Key words: cohesive sediment, flocculation, mathematical modelling of flocculation, rotating circular flume, erosion, deposition, fine sediment entrapment, fluid mud, consolidation, fluidization, waves.

Shoreline Evolution

The swash zone is a highly dynamic boundary between the beach and the surf zone. Swash processes determine whether sediment is either stored on the upper beach or is transported offshore, and thus strongly affect shoreline evolution. The present research focuses on the hydrodynamics, sand transport processes and net sediment transport in the swash zone through a series of large-scale wave flume experiments. This research aims to improve the understanding of swash zone sand transport processes, in particular the role of cross-shore sand advection and wave-swash interactions, and bring new detailed insights into the relation between intra-swash processes and net sand transport rates.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/tYvJ0pML-kU
