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 results in erosion and deposition and therefore in changes of form, location and volume of seabottom structures, especially sandbanks. These changes can be studied over several time intervals. Residual sedimentdynamics concern net sediment migrations over longer periods as resulting from successive short time direction and intensity varying displacements. In an environment with high sediment migration variations, residual sedimentdynamics can be approached by geomorphological techniques. The paper analyses the residual sedimentdynamics on the Flemish Banks over the period 1983-1988 on the ground of a monitoring of volumetric changes of sand banks along fixed reference profiles. The monitoring departs from sequential detailed bathymetric profiling along the refernce tracks, high precision navigation and positioning and profile normalisation to make successive data comparable, using appropriate software equipment. Sequential profiling at a 1 mile distance allows bank covering over one tidal cycle. |
