Morphodynamic Modeling of Tidal Mud Flats

Abstract

The objective of the current research proposal is to develop and test a numerical model to simulate and predict the seasonal morphodynamic evolution of intertidal mud flats in macrotidal environments at high suspended sediment concentrations at the spatial scale of such flats. Our 2007 approach consists of participating in the Phase I - Project Planning workshops to prepare the Phase II - Detailed Studies part of the mudflat project. Our input consists in particular of: -The Asian Bay model developed within Delft3D -Setting up a strategy to measure the required sediment properties, -Setting up a strategy to calibrate and validate the morphodynamic model to be developed in Phase II of the study.
