Abstract

Sedimentation is a common problem in many harbors, which requires frequent dredging and involves considerable maintenance costs. Consequently harbor planform, which influences flow pattern, plays a crucial role in sedimentation in harbors. In this study a 2DH finite volume numerical model including sediment transport module has been developed and utilized to investigate the effects of harbor planform on sedimentation in harbors.
