Proper modelling of the concentration of fine sediment is therefore of utmost importance for the environmental impact assessment of sand mining activities in the Dutch coastal zone for the land reclamation Maasvlakte II.\r\n\r\n<b>Model set-up and calibration<\/b>\r\nIn this project, first a 2-dimensional hydrodynamic\u00a0FINEL\u00a0model of the Southern North Sea was build and calibrated. Secondly, a new algorithm has been developed (in co-operation with Delft Hydraulics and Royal Haskoning) to simulate the transport of fine sediments, including the effect of burying of fines in the seabed. This algorithm has been calibrated and validated against field data. The figure at the bottom in the right column shows that at different time scales the model is able to represent the measurements well.\r\n\r\n<b>Scenario studies<\/b>\r\nAfter calibration and validation of the model, the release of fine sediment due to dredging activities is included. The spreading of fines due to various dredging scenarios was simulated.\r\n\r\n<em>\u00a9 Photo Beeldbank RWS\u00a0<cite>\/ Aeroview \/ Van Oord<\/cite><\/em>\r\n\r\n<\/div>"},"slider":[{"image":4549,"video":""},{"image":4547,"video":""},{"image":4545,"video":""},{"image":4543,"video":""}],"expert_guy":{"left":{"title":"MORE INFORMATION?","content":"Please contact Anna Kroon.","linkedin_link":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anna-kroon\/","email":"kroon@svasek.nl"},"right":{"title":"Anna Kroon","designation":"Projectleader","photo":892}},"cta":{"title":"MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SVA\u0160EK OR OUR EXPERTISES?","text":"Please contact us or make an appointment.","link":{"title":"CONTACT US","url":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/contact\/","target":""}},"custom_links":{"linked_url":""},"hide":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/4550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4550"},{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=4550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
