sedimentation is one of the most important problems in harbors that results in considerable economic costs. harbor planforms affects the flow pattern in the harbor basin and consequently, plays an important role in sediment transport and sedimentation. in the present study, a two dimensional depth-averaged hydrodynamic and sediment transport model has been developed to investigate the effect of...

Over the last 20 years, the geoarchaeology of ancient harbours has been a very active area of research around the Mediterranean basin, generating much palaeoenvironmental data from many sites, including estimations of sedimentation rates, the height of the ancient sea-level at different dates and palaeo-geographical reconstructions. Combining this information has proved a major challenge. This ...
