Numerical modeling of particulate transport under combined current-and-wave action along coastal areas KU Leuven
The study of the transport of particles in coastal areas is of importance with regard to coastal morphodynamics and pollutant transport. This study focuses on fine particles (i.e. clay and biofilm-covered microplastic particles) which have the tendency to stick together and aggregate to form flocs which settle faster than the original individual particles. An important implication of greater settling velocities of suspended sediment is the ...
