In 2012 verloren we Jean Jacques Peters, voormalig ingenieur van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium (1964 tot 1979) en internationaal expert in sedimenttransport, rivierhydraulica en -morfologie. Als eerbetoon aan hem hebben we potamology (http://www.potamology.com/) gecreëerd, een virtueel gedenkarchief dat als doel heeft om zijn manier van denken en morfologische aanpak van rivierproblemen in de wereld in stand te houden en te verspreiden.
Het merendeel van z’n werk hebben we toegankelijk gemaakt via onderstaande zoekinterface.

The work presented in this article aims to make the TELEMAC suite capable of simulating cross-shore sediment transport through the implementation of the different cross-shore processes in the GAIA and TOMAWAC modules. Surface roller energy produced in the breaking wave front, wave breaking turbulence, the return current that counterbalances the so-called Stokes drift appearing close to the water surface and wave non-linearities developing in the surf zone are the processes that are introduced in the code. The new developments are evaluated by means of a 2D-morphodynamic model for the central part of the Belgian coast, which is validated against field measurements under realistic forcing conditions. The results show that the implementation of the cross-shore processes is an added value in the modelling of the near- and onshore bed evolution.
