Analysis of wave propagation and coastal processes
- Hydrodynamical modelling in Kelnase and Leppneeme harbours (OÜ Lainemudel, 2018). For the harbour development waves and water levels were analysed, which resulted in desing parameters for coastal structures. Harbour layout was assessed in the view of resonance and reflections. Sediment accumulation in the harbour channel and suspended sediment transport was analysed in different wind conditions. The results were used in the desing of both ports.
- Analysis of vertical wave barriers in Port of Virtsu (Tallinn University of Technology, 2018). In co-operation with Wave Engineering Laboratory water levels and waves were measured in the end of 2017 in Virtsu. Results were compared with findings from scientific literature. Based on the results, the efficiency of walls was assessed.
- Impact of breakwaters on sediment transport near Koguva (OÜ Lainemudel, 2018). Water levels and currents in Moonsund area were analyused and velocities of water particles caused by wind-induced currents were calculated.
- Analysis of waves and water levels for planned marina in Käsmu (OÜ Lainemudel, 2017). Wave climate, winds and water levels were analysed and used as input in wave model SWAN to assess an impact of submerged breakwater and calculate design parameters for coastal structures.
- Wave simulations in Port Noblessner (OÜ Lainemudel, 2017). Wind, wave climate, water levels and fast ferry wakes were analysed. Extracts of data served as an input in wave models of SWAN and COULWAVE where different port layouts were analysed. The results provided expertise on the proposed design and advise on further development plans for the marina.
- Analysis of waves and water levels in Värati marina, Estonia (Lainemudel Ltd, 2017). Wave climate, winds and water levels were analysed and used as input in wave model SWAN to compare different configurations of the planned marina. The study was carried out in to order to compose preliminary design of the marina.
- Impact of the shoreline shift on shipwreck (Lainemudel Ltd, 2016). Water levels and waves were analysed in order to assess scour in the vincinity of the shipwreck. As shoreline shift was connected with the construction of the new main highway in Tallinn, different recommendations for the shore protection and building procedure were given.
- Analysis of wave climate in Naissaare harbour (Lainemudel Ltd, 2016). Winds, wave climate and water levels were analysed. Wave parameters were calculated with Jonswap-method for the design of the shore protection and breakwater.
- Analysis of sediment transport in Nasva sand accumulation area (Lainemudel Ltd, 2016). The impact of sand excavation on the environment was assessed on the basis of literature, observations ja calculations. The results were used in EIA study (carried out by E-Konsult Ltd., expert Aide Kaar) which was approved on 08.05.2017.
- Analysis of wave climate in Varese harbour (Lainemudel Ltd, 2016). Wave climate and water levels were analysed. Wave propagation and their parameters were modelled in SWAN for the design of the shore protection and breakwater.
- The impact of a breakwater in Kihnu harbour (Laboratory of Wave Engineering, Tallinn University of Technology, 2016). Winds, wave climate and water levels were analysed. Wave parameters were modelled in SWAN in order to assess the feasibility of a proposed breakwater.
- Sediment transport in Eisma harbour (EstKONSULT Ltd, 2016).
- Analysis of sediment transport and modelling of suspended sediment transport in Merirahu marina ( Laboratory of Wave Engineering, Tallinn University of Technology, 2015). Coastal processes were analysed on the basis of literature, studies and observations. Dredging in the marina caused suspended sediment which transport was modelled in Delft3D. The results were inputs for EIA studies (carried out by E-Konsult Ltd, expert Aide Kaar) and it was approved on 29.08.2016.
- The influence of additional quay length on sediment transport ( Laboratory of Wave Engineering, Tallinn University of Technology, 2015). Sediment transport in Delft3D was modelled. The results were inputs for EIA studies (carried out by E-Konsult Ltd, expert Aide Kaar) which were approved on 01.02.2016.
