The Effects of Annual Extreme Weather Conditions on the Exchange Flows between Lake Bardawil and the Mediterranean Sea

Lake Bardawil is a hypersaline, shallow coastal lagoon located along the coast of the northern Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Coastal systems are understood to be hypersaline when the salinity exceeds values of 30 parts per thousand throughout the year.<br/>Being located in the arid climate region of North Africa the lagoon is subject to year-round...

Episodic density-induced current velocities at the Gemini offshore wind park

This thesis investigates the origin of observed current velocities at the Gemini offshore wind farm in 2015. Currents have been measured of 1.2 m/s while, based upon tidal and storm predictions, currents of only 0.7 m/s were expected. The aim of this research is to gain insight into the origin of these higher currents, taking into account the...

Effect van variaties in chloride concentratie op de efficiency van een warmte- en koudeopslag systeem

This research is executed to study the effects of density driven currents and their effects on Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage Systems(ATES).<br/><br/>A monowell system is studied in the location of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. Due to saline water deep in the ground and fresh water higher in the ground, there is a gradient in density in the...

Predicting currents at the "Gemini" wind farm: Analysis of Triaxys ADCP-data

Van Oord is currently building the Gemini Wind farm in the North Sea. It is located 80km North of Schiermonnikoog. Before execution started some wave and current analysing buoys have been deployed to investigate the currents on the location of the wind farm for workability and insurance purposes. In this report the ADCP-current data will be...
