Modelling of Sediment Transport and Morphodynamics

摘要

This article summarizes general concepts for morphodynamic modelling and sediment transport in the coastal zone. Firstly, basic concepts with respect to non-cohesive sediments are introduced. The following sections describe techniques to model fractionated sediment transport and to predict bed forms, as well as the related bed roughness. The last section is devoted to the simulation of dredging and dumping activities in the context of long term morphodynamic simulations.
