Theme Hydrodynamics and sediment transport

The movement of water and sediment defines the shape and function of our rivers. Within this theme, we focus on the physics of flow and transport, providing the sector with validated data and methodologies. Whether it involves designing a river widening project or assessing maintenance needs, these insights offer the technical backbone for evidence-based hydraulic engineering and more efficient river management.

Partitioning of Water and Sediment over Bifurcation Points under the Influence of Climate Change and Anthropogenic Interventions: Consequences and Mitigation

Sediment dynamics of the lower tributaries of the Rhine

River deltas, particularly deep dredged ones like the Rhine-Meuse are lacking in sediment. Adaptation measures, particularly in the face of climate change, are urgently needed.

Morphodynamics of estuarine channels with mixtures of sand, silt and clay

We aim to improve modelling of sediment transport in stratified channels such as the New Waterway, so we can better predict how dredging requirements respond to climate change or human interference.
