ABSTRACT
The research objective of this chapter is to investigate long-term (~millennia) evolution of estuarine morphodynamics. Use is made of a 2D, numerical, processbased model. The standard model configuration is a rectangular 80 km long and 2.5 km wide basin. Special emphasis is put on a comparison between 1D and 2D model results. Furthermore, 2D model results are compared to Western Scheldt characteristics and empirical relationships. Special attention is given to an analysis of the numerical morphodynamic update scheme applied.
