This study aims to establish a numerical model based on the finite volume technique to predict transport of water, sludge, salt and polluents in the Schelde, the Schelde estuary and the Belgian coastal waters.","AbstractOtherLang":"De waterkwaliteit in de Zeeschelde, het Schelde-estuarium en de Belgische kustwateren wordt zeer sterk beinvloed door het transport van slib, omdat toxische polluenten zoals zware metalen en organische micro-polluenten sterk geabsorbeerd zijn op de slibdeeltjes en zich verplaatsen met het slib. Dit heeft tot gevolg dat baggerwerken en alle maatregelen die de waterkwaliteit beinvloeden, ten zeerste afhankelijke zijn van de kennis van slibtransport en de processen die hierop een invloed hebben. Het onderwerp van de studie is de ontwikkeling van een numeriek model gebaseerd op de eindige volumetechniek, om transport van water, slib, zout en polluenten in de Zeeschelde, het Schelde-estuarium en de Belgische kustzone te voorspellen. Het model bestaat uit vier componenten: - een hydrodynamisch model dat de waterbeweging simuleert onder invloed van de getijden en de afvoer van zoet water in de Schelde- een advectief-dispersief model voor de simulatie van het transport van zout, omdat zout de flocculatie van slib bevordert- een slibtransportmodel met inbegrip van sedimentatie en erosieprocessen afhankelijk van de bodemsamenstelling, hydrodynamische omstandigheden en zoutconcentraties- een model voor het transport van toxische polluenten, met inbegrip van de invloed van adsorptieprocessen op de slibdeeltjes.","DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:20.809226","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"ParentProID":null,"BeginYear":1997,"EndYear":1997,"BMonth":1,"EMonth":12,"BeginMonth":"January","EndMonth":"December","OrigTitleLangCode":"nl","OrigTitleLangID":41,"OrigTitleLangNL":"Nederlands","OrigTitleLang":"Dutch","OtherAbstractLangCode":"nl","OtherAbstractLangID":41,"OtherAbstractLang":"Dutch","OtherAbstractLangNL":"Nederlands","Progress":"Completed","ProgressNL":"Afgelopen","PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ND":"2003-11-26","UD":"2007-07-05","DMPFlag":0,"Budget":9668,"BudgetCurrency":"EUR"},"parent":null,"persons":null,"projects":null,"events":null,"datasets":null,"institutes":[{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"HYDR","ProPartID":928,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Vrije Universiteit Brussel;
