Development and application of a mud transport and bed evolution model for estuary

摘要

Coastal evolution is a ceaseless process therefore a drediging plan is necessar for the effective use of the available channel. The development of such type of plan demands a reasonably precise evaluation of the sediment movement in the area of nterest. In the past hydraulic models have been used widely and quite successfully, With the advent and then rapid development in computer technology and efficient numerical techniques, mathematical modeling has emerged as an effective tool due to its economy in time and money along with a reasonable accuracy in determining even finer details of flow phenomenon.
