Onderzoeksoutput

Welkom op het expertplatform!

Dit platform verschaft informatie en kennis omtrent de WL expertisedomeinen 'hydraulica en sediment', 'havens en waterwegen', 'waterbouwkundige constructies', 'waterbeheer' en 'kustbescherming' - gaande van WL medewerkers met hun expertise, het curriculum van deze instelling, tot publicaties, projecten, data (op termijn) en evenementen waarin het WL betrokken is.

Het WL onderschrijft het belang van "open access" voor de ontsluiting van haar onderzoeksresultaten. Lees er meer over in ons openaccessbeleid.

Abstract

Horizontal coherent structures were identified on several historical aerial pictures of the Westerschelde Estuary in the Netherlands. They occur at the interface between channel and mudflat and are visualized by the sharp gradient in suspended sediment concentration. Horizontal coherent structures are most clearly found at the mudflat “Kapellebank”. New measurements by means of GPSdrifters, velocimeters and aerial pictures show the presence of these coherent structures. The coherent structures have a typical length scale of 200m, rotation speed of 0.3rad/min and propagation speed of almost zero. The small propagation speed is favorable for the development of coherent structures, as they hardly dissipate energy by bottom friction and they have time to develop. The small celerity is a consequence of a current on the mudflat, in opposite direction of the ebb flow in the main channel. We argue that this crucial counter current is an effect of the bend in the channel.
