Abstract: Based on in situ data of Lian Yungang Harbor and test outcomes, siltation changes with the deepening of deepwater Navigation Channels in open muddy coasts was studied The volume and distribution of siltation in the Navigation Channel after the construction of the 250000 DWT Waterway Engineering in Lian Yungang Harbor was forecasted according to numerical model results. Its maintenance dredging project was also studied in this paper.
