Smyrnis, A. (author)Block mattresses or block mats are, nowadays, very commonly applied as protection in a large range of applications either against flow or wave loads. Specifically, this large range of applications contains offshore pipeline protection and stabilization, erosion and scour protection, protection of embankments and river banks (slope protection)....master thesis 2017

Hovenga, M.J. (author)Turbulence distances are a major design criteria in the design of new freeways and the modifications of freeways. In the Dutch freeway design guideline (NOA) turbulence distances are applied to determine the minimal distance between on-ramps and off-ramps to enter and exit the freeway, or to switch from the one freeway to the other, and lane...master thesis 2014

Kolijn, D.J. (author)The following research focuses on artificial underwater structures (a.k.a. artificial reefs) in a coral reef environment to mitigate the natural and anthropogenic pressures which reef systems are increasingly facing worldwide. The research question is stated as: “Establishing a method to determine if a multipurpose artificial underwater...master thesis 2014

Steenstra, R.S. (author)For the design of granular bed protections often a stability parameter is used. The stability parameter represents the forces that are acting on the stones and is used to predict the response of the bed to these forces. Existing parameters are often derived for a limited range of application. When the parameter is used outside this range, the...master thesis 2014

Voermans, J.J. (author)Little research was done in the past concerning the propagation of three dimensional effect in shallow wake flow caused by a roughness patch. Today’s research on related subjects is dominated by emerging obstructions in shallow water where the flow can be assumed as (quasi) two dimensional. However the relevance of a submerged obstruction with...master thesis 2013

Bergsma, E.W.J. (author), Bogaard, T. (author)The general flow pattern of an open channel flow, downstream of a width restriction by two artificial dams, is analysed. A physical Froude-scaled model, under hydraulic rough conditions, with a significant large Reynolds number is used to ensure turbulent flow. Upstream of the dams the flow is uniform in transverse direction, in between and...student report 2011

Van Sabben, A.J. (author)For a proper management of rivers and river bends in particular, it is important to have good models to predict the flows through bends. It is important that those developed models are well validated with measurements to demonstrate the usefulness of the models. This research is a validation of the Delft3D-FLOW model which is a model that is...master thesis 2010

Zoon, A. (author)A cobble sea defence appears to be an easy constructible protection, with relatively low total costs of ownership. Flume tests show that sand under such single layered constructions is stable. However, it is not exactly known how the hydraulic loading of a breaking wave is reducing in the filter. Two datasets containing pressure measurements in...master thesis 2010

Bil, R. (author)A search for a victim of drowning is not always successful in practice: according to a rough guess only one out of ten corpses is found during a search by the authorities concerned. Several methods can be used in order to detect a corpse. In The Netherlands it is common to search with (tracker) dogs on the basis of corpse scent. Scent is...master thesis 2008

Lely, M.S. (author)Most estuarine, and some coastal, areas are characterised by large amounts of fine-grained cohesive and non-cohesive sediments. At sufficiently high concentrations, sediment transport in suspension may significantly influence the hydrodynamics. In sediment-laden flow with concentrations of approximately, stratification may occur due to a...master thesis 2007

Erdbrink, C.D. (author)At locations where two natural streams of different velocity come together, a mixing layer develops. In this free shear flow, the velocity difference between the two streams is gradually reduced through the exchange of lateral momentum. This involves different forms of turbulent phenomena. If the width of the flow domain is large compared to the...master thesis 2007

de Ruijter, R. (author)Downstream of man-made hydraulic structures, bed protections made of granular material are often used to prevent erosion of the bottom. The stones in the top layer of such granular filters must be able to withstand the hydraulic forces. Probably the best-known formula that is used to determine the stability of granular bed material is the design...master thesis 2004

Bos, M. (author)In dit afstudeerproject wordt met behulp van een fysisch model onderzoek gedaan naar de uitwisselingsprocessen die bij hoogwater optreden tussen uiterwaard en hoofdgeul van een rivier. Dit afstudeerproject geeft daarmee een vervolg aan het door Van Prooijen [19] opgezette onderzoek naar grootschalige horizontale wervels in ondiepe...master thesis 2000

Liek, G.A. (author)With the morphological models that are in use today, such as Delft2D-MOR, the scour that is calculated near the tip of hard coastal structures like breakwaters and groynes is often underestimated. This is most likely due to the fact that large horizontal turbulent eddies, which are formed when flow goes round these structures, locally enhance...master thesis 2000

De Gunst, M. (author)Het onderwerp van deze studie is een niet-uniforme stroming waarin sprake is van een plaatselijk verhoogde aanval op het bodemmateriaal door de lokaal hogere turbulentie. In een 15 m lange stroomgoot met een breedte van 40 cm is door middel van een backward-facing step ofwel afstap een niet-uniforme stroming gecreeerd. Om de schade aan de...master thesis 1999

Van Prooijen, B.C. (author)Dit afstudeerwerk bestaat uit het ontwerpen van een fysisch model, het uitvoeren van experimenten, het verwerken van de metingen en het interpreteren van de resultaten. Allereerst wordt in hoofdstuk 2 aan de hand van een probleemanalyse ingegaan op de literatuur betreffende de (ondiepe) menglaagstroming en wordt de doelstelling van het...master thesis 1999

Runge, A.C. (author)De concentratie van het opgezogen zandwatermengsel en de mate van turbulentie in het beun van een sleephopperzuiger zijn van grote invloed op de snelheid van bezinken van het zandwatermengsel in het beun. Om de kennis van deze invloedsfactoren op de snelheid van bezinken te vergroten is een proefopstelling gebouwd waarin de bezinking van...master thesis 1999

Van der Wegen, M. (author)A shallow water mixing layer is a flow pattern which develops between two adjacent streams with a different velocity. The horizontal dimensions of a shallow water mixing layer are much larger than the depth. This results in a turbulent process in the mixing layer which is characterized by the presumable presence of two distinct turbulent length...master thesis 1996
