Abstract
Four side channel design parameters are analysed by two-dimensionally modelling the extremes with the numerical software package Delft3D. In order to advise how to minimise the maintenance activity dredging in rivers due to the construction of side channels. These four parameters are bifurcation angle, originate place in the groyne compartment, width/depth ratio and inflow barrier. The amount dredging volume seems most sensitive to the bifurcation angle and the side channel width. Whereas the bifurcation angle also affects the length ratio of the side and main channel, the latter one can also be the dominant parameter. Further research is recommended.
