Modeling Sediment Resuspension in a Coastal Environment Due to Ship Traffic
Sediment resuspension occurs in harbors across the world as a function of propeller-induced water velocities, and resulting shear stress, at the sediment-water interface.

Propeller Wash Simulation Using Historical Ship Track Data
Simulation of the impacts of propeller wash in hydrodynamic and sediment transport models requires detailed information on ship travel routes and the physical characteristics of each ship.
The Importance of Propeller Wash Modeling
Many urban waterfronts are contaminated with metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and other organic chemicals, often as deep as 20 feet within the sediment bed.
Velocity Profile of a Propeller Moving Through a Channel
In our propeller wash (propwash) blog series, we have shared details of the propwash simulation feature that will soon be available in the upcoming version of EEMS.
