Abstract: This paper describes a decade of research on siltation-reducing measures for harbor basins and the methodology and measuring techniques developed. A classification of harbor systems is made on the basis of siltation ...

Abstract: This note summarizes the results of an experimental study on the near-field spreading of dredging spill from hopper suction dredgers operating in shallow water. A diagram is constructed that can be used to establish the ...

Abstract: An entrainment model for fluid mud and soft mud is derived by integrating the equation of turbulent kinetic energy across the mixed layer and introducing some modeling assumptions. The resulting entrainment model is similar ...

Abstract: A study on the erosion of soft mud layers caused by entrainment is reported. Experiments were carried out in an annular flume with suspensions of kaolinite and natural mud. The results of these experiments compare favorably ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a physical and numerical model study on the entrainment by a high-concentration, cohesive sediment suspension. This turbulent, near-bed suspension is referred to as a concentrated benthic ...

Abstract: Sedimentation in harbor basins necessitates continuous maintenance dredging to keep the bed level of the harbor at the desired depth. Costs involved in the dredging and disposal of the material are often significant, and ...

Abstract: Sediment particles smaller than 64 μm, with a noncohesive base mineral, are referred to as silt. The settling velocity of suspended sediment decreases with increasing concentration due to hindered settling effects. Compared ...

Abstract: This paper describes the implementation of a new dispersion relation and energy-dissipation equation obtained from a viscous two-layer model schematization in the state-of-the-art wave forecasting model SWAN to simulate ...
