Investigation of the Effects of Ship Induced Waves on the Littoral Zone with Field Measurements and CFD Modeling

Waves induced by ship movement might be harmful for the habitat in the littoral zone of rivers due to the temporally increasing bed shear stress, the high-energy breaking waves and the consequently related detachment of benthic animals. In order to understand the complex hydrodynamic phenomena resul...
