| Abstract | In this study, the three-dimensional coupled (TELEMAC-3D + GAIA) morphodynamic Scheldt model is used to investigate the behaviour of sand disposals in the Western Scheldt by simulating the experimental disposal campaign of 2019 at the Put van Hansweert. A validation of the hydrodynamics shows that the Scheldt model is able to reproduce accurately water level predictions throughout the Scheldt estuary and good two/three-dimensional velocity patterns near the Put van Hansweert. By performing a Brier Skill Score analysis, it is shown that the simulated morphodynamics at the project site has the performance indication ‘Good’. This reveals that the Scheldt model is suited for scenario analysis. |
