A three-dimensional non-linear hydrodynamic model is developed for the determination of the mesoscale (tides, storm surges, ...) and macroscale (residuals, gyre, ...) circulations in the North Sea. The model consists of a hierarchy of submodels of different grid sizes, with interactive coupling at boundaries. The model is used to study the impact of coastal engineering projects along the Belgian coast and in the Scheldt estuary.

Simulation of the hydro- and morphodynamic processes near coastal inlets is important but challenging, due to multiple interacting forces (waves, wind, tides, river flows, density currents, etc.) on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. A number of 2-D models have been used in the past, but recently 3-D models have gained more and more attentions because better accuracy and reliability are desired. A 3-D model has been developed in this study to simulate the complex flow, sediment transport and bed change near coastal inlets.
