Variability in suspended sediment concentration in the Minas Basin, Bay of Fundy, and implications for changes due to tidal power extraction

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D hydrodynamic and sediment transport model of the Minas Basin with measurements of water levels, current profiles, waves, suspended sediment fluxes and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) profiles is used to validate the results of field observations collected from ship-based and bottom-moored sensors over an 8-day period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Applicability of sediment transport models to evaluate medium term evolution of tidal inlet systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived local formulae to estimate bed roughness and suspended transport and presented a method to calculate net sediment transport at tidal inlet systems, combining field data and a range of well established empirical formulations.

Simulation-based optimization of in-stream structures design: rock vanes

TL;DR: In this article, the Virtual Flow Simulator (VFS-Geophysics) is employed to simulate the turbulent flow and sediment transport in large-scale sand and gravel bed waterways under prototype and live-bed conditions.
