Abstract :
Numerical simulation of hydrodynamics and suspended-sediment transport off the Ebro delta is carried out. The simulations correspond to a geophysical situation for which experimental data are available, in particular a SPOT image and total suspended matter (TSM) concentration measurements obtained through filtration of water samples. Numerical and experimental results are discussed
