| Abstract |
A new mud transport model was developed based on the SCALDIS- hydrodynamic model for the (tidal) Scheldt estuary and Upper Sea Scheldt. Calibration of the mud transport model is described in Smolders et al. (2018).
The calibrated mud transport model is used to analyse the effects of three potential alternative bathymetries that allow accessibility for CEMT1 class Va ships: Chafing (Schaaf), Va “Geul” (VaG) and Va “Hybrid” (VaH).
This report describes the effects against a future reference situation (2050). The focus is on expected effects on mud transport and suspended sediment concentrations in the Upper Sea Scheldt. The model results are described in terms of suspended sediment concentration (SSC), the residual transport of sediment due to tidal asymmetry and sediment flux through transects in the area of interest. |
