Sediment dynamics in the Schelde-estuary. Report 1. Influence of fresh water discharge and tide on the ETM-dynamics in the Schelde-estuary using Delft3D
The Schelde-estuary is subjected to tides, (seasonal) variations in fresh water discharge and natural and manmade changes in bathymetry. These changes affect suspended sediment dynamics and therefore the formation and location of the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM). An assessment of ETM formation and ETM location under different conditions of river discharge, tides and bathymetry is performed in this study using a Delft3D-numerical model.
