Reference Concentration for Shelf Sediment Transport Models
نویسنده
چکیده
My long-term goals are to advance understanding of sediment transport processes. In this context, the long-term goal of this project is to advance understanding of the reference concentration, i.e. concentration of suspended sediments at a small distance above the seafloor. The scientific interest is in relating this reference concentration to the forcing conditions of waves and currents. The new contribution in this effort is to observe the reference concentration using a new instrument MSCAT.

Numerical Analysis of Sediment Transport in Sewer Pipe
The efficiency and economical performance of sewer systems is an essential issue in urban drainage. The need for sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. One of the main problems in designing sewerage systems is the sediment deposition. Sedimentation in sewers occurs regularly according to the alternating natural flow. The present study investigates the hydraulic characteris...

My long-term goal within the EuroSTRATAFORM program has been to increase our ability to predict sediment transport in fine-grained regions of the continental shelf through field work and application and further development of models at the Adriatic and Gulf of Lions EuroSTRATAFORM sites. Testing and extending our conceptual and numerical sediment transport models at these sites is an important ...
