Introduction
General objective:
To develop a 3D near-field plume model of which the
output is used as sediment source for far-field plume
models, which renders far-field plume predictions more
accurate.
This leads to improved forecasting of the plume behaviour
and therefore to a reduced environmental impact
WHY?

MAIN RESEARCH QUESTION:
How much sediment to put in the far-field
model and how is it distributed??
