Estuarine sediments - near bed processes - investigation of siltation mechanism in Harwich Harbour

A research programme has been undertaken by Hydraulics Research (HR) in conjunction with Harwich Harbour Authority (HHA), to study cohesive sediment behaviour at two points within Harwich Harbour. The objective of the research is to increase understanding of near bed processes and their influence on cohesive sediment transport processes. The knowledge acquired will enable an improvement in accuracy and precision of predictive models of cohesive sediment movement.
