In the MUSA-research project, a consortium* of contractors, consultants and research organizations join forces to increase the understanding of the dynamics of sand-mud mixtures through flume tests and field measurements. The developed knowledge, insights and data will be incorporated in engineering tools and in numerical modelling software. The threefour-year project (2020-2023) consists of the following activities:
...
The project started in May 2020 and will end at the end of 2023. In the current stage of the project (September 2021), flume Summer 2022), multiple activities are going on: the laboratory experiments are being processed and reported by WaterProof and HR Wallingford, field experiments are carried out in the laboratory of WaterProofde Wadden Sea and the first analyses by Leo van Rijn and Deltares are starting up.
* the TKI-MUSA consortium consists of WaterProof, Leo van Rijn Sediment Consultancy (LVRS), Jan de Nul, DEME, Boskalis, HR Wallingford, DHI, Royal HaskoningDHV, Arcadis and Deltares (lead party).
