Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Sediment transport models are helpful tools to study the dispersion of contaminants attached to fine-grained sediments in the marine environment. Currently used 3D sediment transport models still fail to make good quantitative predictions. Several causes can be attributed to the inadequate description of physical processes which occur at the subgrid scale level. Specific attention is given to the modelling of turbulent mixing, particle turbulence interactions and near-bottom boundary layer processes. A procedure for the development of new subgrid scale closures for engineering models applied to problems at geophysical scales of coastal waters and estuaries, based on twophase flow theory and data generated by Large Eddy Simulation and low-Reynolds RANS models, is described. This leads to a three-layer approach, comprising a supersaturated near-bed layer, a transition layer (under certain conditions) and the fully developed turbulent water column. |
