Coastal Sediment Transport
Wave and current behaviours
The Port on the island of Naissaar, managed by AS Saarte Liinid, is witnessing a consistent sediment transport pattern. This sediment flow, moving from the north to the south, accumulates in the harbour's entry channel. To plan future port developments, it's crucial to comprehend this sediment transport and the associated wave patterns.
To address this, the solution lies in combining physical measurements with hydrodynamic and wave models specific to the harbour area. Unlike conventional methods which often rely on unvalidated models, this approach incorporates real-world data, ensuring a true representation of the area's conditions and adding significant value to the predictive models.
