- Additional information
- Laboratory experiments from this fully funded PhD project highlighted the need to incorporate the effects of turbulence (turbulence bursting phenomena) into existing models for predicting sediment transport rates in coastal waters. Our statistical assessment proves the importance of the fluid turbulence effect and is instrumental in resolving how this can be incorporated into a universal model to predict the moment at which sediment starts to move (threshold motion of sediment). Accurate prediction of coastal erosion rates enables more cost-effective planning for mitigation measures and will be beneficial for coastal modellers and practicing engineers working in this field.
