Study of Dordtsche Kil and Hollands Diep area using Delft3D

The basic objective of this study is to extend the morphological model of the Merwede branches towards Dordtsche Kil and Hollands Diep, evaluate and improve the hydrodynamic performance of the model including tidal boundaries based on the SOBEK and WAQUA model results. Furthermore, a morphological analysis of Dordtsche Kil has been carried out based on available multi-beam soundings, sediment characteristics as well as geotechnical survey data of river bank and bed characteristics. Sediment transport analysis of the Hollands Diep and Dordtsche Kil area considering mud fraction has been done using Delft3D. Computation of long-term morphological behaviour of Dordtsche Kil has briefly been carried out as well.
