Sediment transport and morphodynamics in marine and coastal waters with engineering solutions

沿海和河口地区承受着持续的侵蚀/沉积压力。这些地区的可持续发展取决于我们对复杂的泥沙输送和地貌动力学过程的影响的了解和预测的能力，以及开发有效的实用工程解决方案。海岸保护是成功实施海岸带综合管理计划的一个重要问题。SEDIMARE部门间网络的目标是对沿海过程和工程方面的研究人员进行跨学科培训和授予博士学位，旨在实现沿海的可持续利用和保护。该网络由6所大学、4个私营部门受益者(1个应用研究所、1个公司和2个中小企业)和1个与工业有关的伙伴组成。该网络将为10名研究人员提供研究培训方案，其中包括全面的学术培训，包括网上教学、机构间联合监督、部门间借调、暑期/冬季学校、讲习班、补充活动、传播和外联活动。研究计划分为三个工作包(WP)：(1)泥沙输送过程，(2)水流、泥沙输送和地形动力学的耦合，(3)可持续海岸工程解决方案。每个WP包括几个项目，这些项目的实施基于所有受益者之间的密切互动。主题包括：涉及沙泥混合物、混合粒度沙粒和颗粒-流体混合物的复杂泥沙输送过程；水动力(波浪、风暴潮和潮汐)、泥沙输送和地形变化之间的耦合；以及与侵蚀/沉积有关的问题/问题的工程解决方案，重点是可持续性和复原性。研究方法包括有效的基于过程的工程建模、先进的数值模拟和创新实验。

Coastal and estuarine areas are under constant erosion/sedimentation pressure. The sustainable development of these areas depends on our understanding of and ability to predict the effect of complex sediment transport and morphodynamic processes and the development of effective applied engineering solutions. Coastal protection is an important issue in the implementation of successful Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) plans. The objective of the intrersectoral Network SEDIMARE is the interdisciplinary training and award of a PhD degree to Researchers in coastal processes and engineering, aiming towards a sustainable coastal use and protection. The Network comprises 6 universities, 4 private sector beneficiaries (1 Applied Research Institute, 1 corporation, and 2 SMEs), and 1 industrial associated partner. The Network will provide a training-through-research program to 10 Researchers, which comprises comprehensive academic training including web-based teaching, inter-institutional co-supervision, intersectoral secondments, summer/winter schools, workshops, complementary activities, dissemination, and outreach activities. The research plan is organized into 3 Work Packages (WP): (1) Sediment Transport Processes, (2) Coupling of Flow, Sediment Transport, and Morphodynamics, and (3) Sustainable Coastal Engineering Solutions. Each WP includes several projects, whose implementation is based on the strong interaction between all beneficiaries. The topics include: complex sediment transport processes involving sandmud mixtures, mixed-size sands, and granular-fluid mixtures; coupling between hydrodynamics (waves, storm surges, and tides), sediment transport, and morphological changes; and engineering solutions to issues/problems related to erosion/sedimentation with emphasis on sustainability and resilience. The research methods include effective process-based engineering modeling, advanced numerical simulations, and innovative experiments.
