Sediment Transport Modelling Applications: Real-World Case Studies
Australian Water School via YouTube
Overview
Explore real-world applications of sediment transport and morphological modeling in this webinar. Dive into two case studies: the Opotiki Harbour Development project in New Zealand, examining river mouth sediment dynamics and potential flood impacts during design and construction, and the coastal navigation management options following the ocean breakthrough of northern Bribie Island in Australia. Learn how these modeling techniques are applied to assess flood level compliance, scour design, construction sequencing, hydrodynamics, and morphological calibration. Gain insights from experts Mark Pennington of Tonkin & Taylor New Zealand and Alex Waterhouse of BMT Australia as they share their experiences and findings. Participate in Q&A sessions and discover upcoming training opportunities with the Australian Water School.
