Seabed erosion after dredging

[JENN2209]

Any idea on how to determine the amount of erosion on seabed after dredging the ground to a depth of 5m with a slope of 1:5

You should has moderators to move this to Marine Engineering, or something closer. This forum is specifically for discussing issues and tips related to the new interface for the site

I'm not following you. What "erosion"?? You've already removed a massive amount of material.

Depending on the material and 1:5 sounds like sand, any small current or waves and this will fill in as fast as you dig it out.
