A model of morphological behaviour of tidal basins

A one-dimensional semi-empirical model is presented, which simulates the morphological behaviour of a tidal basin in response to a change in one or more of the extrinsic conditions. The model is based on three equilibrium parameters: the channel cross-sectional area, the flats' surface area and...

Zusammenfassung:	A one-dimensional semi-empirical model is presented, which simulates the morphological behaviour of a tidal basin in response to a change in one or more of the extrinsic conditions. The model is based on three equilibrium parameters: the channel cross-sectional area, the flats' surface area and the flats' level. The model is tested for three scenarios, namely a partial closure, an accelerated sea level rise and a change in the tidal range. It is verified by simulating changes in the Friesche Zeegat, the Netherlands, for which model results are compared with measurements.
