PROVER-M: A simple model to project the disposal of fine sediments

To improve sediment management strategies in coastal waters, the presented software, PROVER-M, uses a simple near-field model that projects the active distribution of fine sediments after a disposal of dredged material. PROVER-M aims to provide valuable input for far-field models, enabling them to m...

description To improve sediment management strategies in coastal waters, the presented software, PROVER-M, uses a simple near-field model that projects the active distribution of fine sediments after a disposal of dredged material. PROVER-M aims to provide valuable input for far-field models, enabling them to more accurately simulate the disposal of fine sediments on a larger scale. Based on the input, PROVER-M calculates the dynamic plume behavior, including the convective descent of sediments and their dynamic collapse on the bottom. The result is a spatial distribution of disposed sediments through the water column and on the ground.
