The channels are an important conduit for shipping and are often dredged to maintain access at considerable cost. A better understanding of the sediment transport processes within the channels is the basis for a more cost-effective maintenance strategy. In the vicinity of ebb-tidal inlets, waves from offshore encounter tidal currents. Depending on the tidal phase, incoming waves face strong positive or negative current gradients. Besides changes in wave height, period and direction, the current gradients also affect the nonlinear wave shape and corresponding velocity profile. ER -
