De Vries, H.C. (author)In this research a workflow for upscaling polymer flooding is developed. The workflow generates pseudorelative permeabilities (pseudos) to represent flow behaviour affected by fine scale heterogeneities in a coarse grid. With this workflow, a better estimate of the difference in production from a polymer flood compared to a water flood can be...master thesis 2016

De Vries, S. (author)Small blind estuaries are a common phenomenon on the coast of Nicaragua, but unfortunately not much is known on their hydrological characteristics. A blind estuary can be identified by a sandbar that temporarily closes the estuary from sea. These blind estuaries often have very diverse flora and fauna on which they play an important ecological...master thesis 2016

Do, T.K.A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Brouwer, R.L. (author), De Vries, S. (author)This study presents an analysis of the planform stability of the complex embayed beach system of Da Nang Bay, central Vietnam. As a result of the intensification of extreme weather conditions and human activities in this area (e.g. land reclamation, river damming, and coastal structures), coastal safety as well as economic and ecological values...conference paper 2015

De Vries, S. (author), Radermacher, M. (author), De Schipper, M.A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)The Sand Motor is a mega-nourishment characterized by a very large sand volume of around 20 million m3 placed along the Dutch coast. The Sand Motor is a pilot project to evaluate the performance of an alternative nourishment strategy with respect to different functions of the coastal system. Within the scope of the coastal functions, the hook...conference paper 2015

De Vries, R.V.F. (author)The observations from a sea-floor acoustic ranging network at Ormen Lange, west of the coast of Norway, are examined for parameters of deformation. The null hypothesis implies that no significant differences in strain rate of change exist between different areas in the network. A model of condition equations is implemented for the combined...master thesis 2015

Van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author), Otterloo, J. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), De Vries, P. (author)Wooden mitre gates are used for centuries in waterways and canals. For newly built as well as the renewal of such gates, a number of wood species is used, ranging from oak to dense tropical hardwoods. As mitre gates have high loads to withstand, their strength verification has become more and more important. As strength verification rules for...conference paper 2014

Fasihi Harandi, M. (author), De Vries, M.J. (author)Hydraulic heritage systems, both underground and exposed, have been known to be sustainable for millennia. Persian and also Roman aqueducts are examples of such hydrosystems. Their value is often overlooked but they have undeniable advantages: they have functional interconnectedness with their surrounding society and ecology, which sometimes...journal article 2014

(author)Large (mega-scale) nourishments have been proposed as a promising alternative for traditional beach and shoreface nourishments, especially for locations with large structural erosion and sufficient sediment to dredge. This paper examines the initial bathymetric evolution of the Sand Engine, a mega-nourishment of 17 million m3 protruding almost 1...conference paper 2014

Mooyaart, L.F. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), De Vries, P.A.L. (author), Van der Toorn, A. (author), Van Ledden, M. (author)In this study an overview of existing and planned storm surge barriers in the world is provided. A systematic analysis relates functional requirements (e.g. navigation and tidal exchange) to the main barrier characteristics (e.g. gate type, dimensions). Furthermore, as the costs of barriers are an important issue in the planning, available cost...conference paper 2014

(author)The Houston - Galveston area is at significant risk from hurricane induced storm surges. This paper summarizes ongoing studies on flood risk reduction for the region. Firstly, based on a simplified probabilistic hurricane surge model , the return periods of surges within the bay have been estimated. This model framework can be used to assess the...conference paper 2014

De Vries, S. (author), De Schipper, M.A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)In this paper it is aimed to quantify bulk (surf-zone integrated) alongshore sediment transport using morphological data collected along the Dutch coast. The collected morphological data covers a domain of 18 km alongshore including the beach, the foreshore and the intertidal zone in the cross shore. The measurement domain contains the 20...conference paper 2014

De Vries, N.A. (author)Around the railway station of Schiphol, railway traffic is controlled by an automated dynamic traffic management system (DVM). This system is not optimal for the future service pattern of NS and NS Hispeed. My research explores the possibilities of a new DVM by analysing different rescheduling elements by means of microsimulations in OpenTrack.master thesis 2014

De Vries, P.A.L. (author)In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Ike to the Galveston Bay Area, Texas, United States in September 2008, several proposals emerged to protect the region against future storm surges. One of them is a coastal spine called the ’Ike Dike’. A challenge for this 160 km [100 mi] long flood protection is to cross Bolivar Roads, a 2.8 km...master thesis 2014

De Vries, H.C. (author), Benthem, M. (author)This research focuses on fracture networks in sedimentary rocks within the Umbria-Marche fold-and-thrust belt in the Northern Apennines, Italy. The aim of this research is twofold, namely to correlate the geometry of fracture networks with tectonic position and lithology and to correlate the orientation of fracture networks with the origination...bachelor thesis 2013

Hoonhout, B.M. (author), De Vries, S. (author), Baart, F. (author), Van Thiel De Vries, J.S.M. (author), Van der Weerd, L. (author), Wijnberg, K. (author)Existing aeolian transport formulae tend to overestimate the sediment transport volumes in coastal environments. Supply limiting factors like moisture content, shell patches, sediment sorting, vegetation and morphological features are believed to explain these overestimations. These supply limitations act on a variety of spatio-temporal scales...conference paper 2013

De Vries, S. (author), Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Ruessink, G. (author)This paper aims to conceptually simulate observed spatial and temporal variability in aeolian sediment transport rates, erosion and deposition on a beach. Traditional strategies of modeling aeolian sediment transport rates do not account for supply limitations that are common on natural beaches. A recently developed 1D linear advection model is...conference paper 2013
