The study wants to bring together the theoretical
aspects, numerical modelling and fysical laboratory
tests related to sediment transport in a sandy coastal
zone.
A literature study mainly focused on the combined effects
of currents and waves on sediment transport, forms the
basis of the theoretical aspects.
The physical modelling make use of the facilities of
Flanders Hydraulics in Borgerhout (Belgium) and of the
opportunities offered on European scale through the
'Large Scale Facilities program'. Commercial software,
supplemented by public domain and own developments where
needed, are used for the numerical modelling effort.
