Simulation of Sediment Discharges during an Outfall Dredging Operation

Figure 2

CORMIX-GTS simulations of near-shore discharges of dredge sediment at 400 m from the shoreline: (a) suspended sediment distribution (in the ambient flow direction) up to 500 m downstream from the discharge position and (b) sediment concentration (in %) remaining in the suspension.
