Longitudinal training dams (LTDs) are novel hydraulic engineering structures in the river
Waal intended to facilitate intensive navigation and safe discharges in the main channel …

Hydraulic models were used in practice to predict the effect of human intervention during
extreme conditions. However, the accuracy of such predictions remains untested. In this …

A small-scale physical model was build and used to study deposition processes in a
planned debris basin in the French Alps. Numerical simulations were then undertaken with a …

Longitudinal training dams (LTDs) are novel river training structures that divide a river into a
main navigation channel and protected shore channels. High velocities at the inflows of …

The current study consists of three parts (1) an analysis of the sedimentary processes in the
shore channels along the longitudinal dams in the River Waal (LTDs),(2) an assessment of …

The replacement of groynes by innovative training measures in the form of Longitudinal
Training Dams (LTDs) in the Netherlands, have raised the need for a better understanding of …

Groynes have been replaced by longitudinal training walls in an 11-km long pilot project to
optimize training of the river Waal in the Netherlands. These train ing walls improve …

Longitudinal training dams (LTDs) are a promising alternative for river groynes. Here we
summarize findings of a recent study focused on the along river transition from a series of …
