05. Application Mike 21 model to calculate sediment transport along the beach of Nam Dinh province

Abstract

This study applies hydraulic model Mike 21 to calculate sediment transport along the beach of Nam Dinh province in order to investigate the causes of coastal erosion in the study area. The results showed that the erosion was strongest during the northeast monsoon period with longshore sediment transport in the north-south direction. The amount of net sediment transport for the whole year was about 0.45 million to 1.09 million m³/year, of which, 0.44 - 1.02 million m³/year were transported during the northeast monsoon.
