A numerical investigation of the dynamics and structure of hyperpycnal river plumes on sloping continental shelves
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D hydrodynamic model (Regional Ocean Modeling System) is used to investigate the dynamics and structure of hyperpycnal river plumes over sloping continental shelves.

From Ripples to Large-Scale Sand Transport: The Effects of Bedform-Related Roughness on Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport Patterns in Delft3D
Laura Brakenhoff,R.A. Schrijvershof,Jebbe J. van der Werf,B.T. Grasmeijer,Gerben Ruessink,Maarten van der Vegt +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of ripple and megaripple-related roughness for modelled hydrodynamics and sediment transport on the wave and tide-dominated Ameland ebb-tidal delta in the north of the Netherlands was quantified.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of small-scale processes in models of coastal seas is reviewed, and the respective uses of vertically integrated and vertically resolving models are described, although applied with heavily tuned empirical parameters to the Holderness coast, a vertically integrated model shows the importance of surface waves for predicting suspended particulate matter (SPM) and their distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Positive Feedback Between Sediment Deposition and Tidal Prism May Affect the Morphodynamic Evolution of Tidal Deltas
TL;DR: In this paper, the relation between tidal prism and sediment dynamics in tidal deltas using the recent evolution of the Yangtze River estuary, China, as an example is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longshore sediment transport estimation using a fuzzy inference system
TL;DR: Results indicate that the errors of the ANFIS model in predicting wave parameters are less than those of the empirical formulas and the model provides higher accuracy and reliability for LSTR estimation than the other techniques.
