The port consists of a marina, a fishing port, and a commercial port. It is protected by two breakwaters (the east and west dam). At the end of the west dam, the structure transitions from a steel sheet pile wall to a wooden pier. These two structures provide shelter when entering the port in rough weather, but both are in poor condition and at the end of their lifespan.\r\n\r\nThe municipality of Sluis has commissioned Sva\u0161ek Hydraulics to investigate the impact of removing the sheet pile wall and pier on wave conditions, currents, and siltation within the port.\r\n\r\nTo determine the wave conditions at the port entrance and in the port basin of Breskens, the numerical wave model <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/model-research\/hares\/\">HARES<\/a> was used. Using this model, the wave penetration into the port was calculated for both the situation with and without the sheet pile wall and pier, based on wave conditions that occur once a year.\r\n\r\nTo determine the effect of the sheet pile wall and wooden pier on siltation, an online coupled morphological <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/model-research\/finel\/\">FINEL<\/a>-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/model-research\/swan\/\">SWAN<\/a> model was set up.\r\n\r\nThis approach allows both wave-driven and tide-driven sediment transport to be taken into account. By comparing the results of the two layout scenarios, the influence of these structures on sedimentation has been investigated.\r\n\r\nIn assessing port accessibility during storm conditions, it is important to account not only for wave conditions but also for the prevailing current patterns, particularly the wave-induced currents. To this end, the same online-coupled FINEL-SWAN model was employed. Three characteristic storm scenarios were simulated to evaluate the hydrodynamic conditions influencing port accessibility."},"slider":[{"image":5443,"video":""},{"image":5445,"video":""},{"image":5441,"video":""}],"expert_guy":{"left":{"title":"More information?","content":"Please contact Bernard Eikema.","linkedin_link":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/bernard-eikema\/","email":"eikema@svasek.nl"},"right":{"title":"Bernard Eikema","designation":"Project leader","photo":874}},"cta":{"title":"More information about Sva\u0161ek 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\/5447","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\/5443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5447"},{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=5447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
