Project

Sabbatical Erik Toorman: Completing an innovative, holistic sediment transport theory

The aim of this sabbatical is to consolidate and finalize a complex set of pieces of theory and models (developed over the past 25 years) into an innovative holistic methodology for the calculation of sediment movement in water (and air) currents, applicable at the scale of rivers, estuaries and coasts. This should result in a book, peer-reviewed publications and implementation in the open-source model suites TELEMAC and OpenFOAM.
