United States/European Union Co-ordination with HR Wallingford on Dredged Material Fate Modelling Improvements

摘要

This is the Final report arising from co-operation between ERDC and HR Wallingford on the research of turbidity caused by dredging. It covers the period April 2001 April 2003 with some additional information up to 1 August 2003. Details of the work are described in a series of 7 Interim Reports. The work carried out over the two-year contract period consisted of: 1) Six co- operation meetings held alternately in Europe and in the USA. 2) Protocols for measurements, internationally reviewed and finally released on 1 August 2003. 3) Disaggregation Index study by WL Delft Hydraulics. 4) CFX Modelling. 5) Field Trial 1: grab dredger on R Tees. Field Trial 2: trailing suction hopper dredger at Rotterdam. An upgrade for TASS Two papers were produced and presented at conferences and are included as appendixes in this report.
