The management of coastal zones, rivers and estuaries
requires accurate and detailed knowledge of cohesive
sediment transport processes to assess different
environmental problems including: wetland protection
and restoration, maintenance of navigation channels,
dredging and dredged material relocation, effects of
construction works on siltation and turbidity levels,
and dispersion of pollutants. The environmental
impact of the effects of erosion and deposition of
sediments on an estuary system, Cork Harbour, is
presented in this work. The primary focus is placed
on the numerical modelling of...
