Morphodynamic modeling of the Scheldt mouth. Effects of extreme wave and wind events

The overall aim of this study is to increase fundamental knowledge of effects of extreme wave and wind events on the morphodynamic evolution of the Scheldt mouth area, using a coupled Delft3DSWAN morphodynamic model. Different scenarios are examined: relative effect of extreme wave events versus the combined effects of extreme wave and wind events, number and chronology of extreme events, and wave growth by wind.
