Modelling cohesive sediments in the Scheldt estuary (Belgium) with SEDI-3D, in: Bacon, J. et al. (Ed.) Proceedings of the XXVth TELEMAC-MASCARET User Conference, 9th to 11th October 2018, Norwich. pp. 53-60 Available in  Authors  VLIZ: Open access 321525 [ download pdf ] Document type: Conference paper Keywords Marine/Coastal; Brackish water; Fresh water Authors    Top  Smolders, S., more Bi, Q., more Maximova, T., more Vanlede, J., more Abstract A new cohesive sediment transport model for the Scheldt Estuary is presented in this paper. The model is built in SEDI-3D, which itself is part of the TELEMAC-3D code. The 3D hydrodynamic Scheldt model, Scaldis, was used for hydrodynamics. One fraction of fine sediments is modelled as a tracer. The results show good agreement with point measurements and with estimated transport rates and directions. However the local turbidity maximum is dependent on a local sediment source and a fix for excessive deposition of mud in shallow areas needs a more elegant solution.
