The 2021 flood event in the Dutch Meuse and tributaries from a hydraulic and morphological perspective

In July of 2021, large areas in the catchment of the Meuse River in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany were affected by extreme rainfall and floods. This paper presents the hydraulic and morphological data that were collected during and after the flood. The data were analysed to understand the hydraulic and morphological functioning of the...

Strong free-surface turbulence in breaking bores: A physical study on the free-surface dynamics and air-water interfacial features

Highly turbulent free-surface flows are characterised by complex and rapidly varying air-water surface features, leading to enhanced surface roughness, breakup and disintegration processes. Such a strong free-surface turbulence has an impact on a number of environmental flows, and a deeper understanding of its physical nature is fundamental....

Next Generation Hydro Software

An overview paper, describes motivation and main deliverables of the Next Generation Hydro Software (NGHS) project. Important technological innovations include development of the new computational core Delft3D Flexible Mesh, as well as the open modelling environment Delta Shell.

Natural grasping, design and evaluation of a voluntary closing adaptive hand prosthesis

Replacement of a missing hand by an artificial alternative remains one of the biggest challenges in rehabilitation. Although many different terminal devices are available, around 27% of the amputees does not actively use their device and 20% totally refrains from wearing it. There are various reasons for prosthesis abandonment, e.g. wearing...

Some aspects of the design and operation of water management systems

This study deals with the design of water management systems. Attention is focused on that phase in the design process in which variants are developed and evaluated with emphasis on the evaluation. The proposed evaluation procedure combines an economic evaluation with an evaluation of the hydraulic qualities- The economic evaluation implicates...

Lecture notes on "The Role of Rivers to Mankind"

It is the task and target of River Engineering as a profession to provide all the tools for arriving at an optimum utilization of the potential resources, optimum in the sense of promoting the beneficial characteristics of the river and eliminating or at least checking the adverse qualities. To strive for this aim, there must be a scientific...
