Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1993-08-30 Abstract Contains basic paper plus background supplements. Areas like the Western Wadden area have a length of approximately 1/4 of a tidal wave length. Therefore tidal motion is sensible for resonance. It is investigated, under which circumstances morphological instabilities may occur. Instabilities are defined in this way, that small depth increments intensifies the vertical tidal amplitude in the basin, which in turn triggers increased erosion of the basin. For prismatical channels, occurrence of instabilities depend on the length of the basin and the bottom roughness. Dimensionless criteria are given. Effects of shoals are discussed.
