Abstract

With the economic development in China, the utilization of silty and muddy coasts including the construction of deepwater harbors and channels are being carried out at a fast pace. In these projects, the key technology involved is sediment transport. Due to the complication of sediment problems under the actions of tidal currents and wind waves, physical experiments are necessary In addition to numerical model studies. (omitted)
