Msc Onderzoek aan UTwente door Marnix Riepen dat kadert in het SALTIsolutions project waar WL ook bij betrokken is.

Onderzoeksvraag:

Exploring the effects of vegetated intertidal areas on salt-intrusion in the Western Scheldt, the Netherlands. Exploring the effects of vegetated intertidal flats, both fringing and mid-channel, on estuary scale hydrodynamics, mainly focussing on the salt intrusion length. The set-up of these systems can differ in location, elevation, size and vegetation cover amongst others.

Gebruikte tools:

Numeriek model van de Schelde: Nevla2D in de Delft3D vorm, te runnen op HPC in Nederland. Inspanning WL is methodologische begeleiding, klankbord en revisie van tussen- en eindresultaat.
