Omgaan met onzekerheden bij het ontwerpen van bodembescherming nabij kademuren

Roubos, A.A. (author)

Gedurende het ontwerpproces van bodembescherming nabij kademuren krijgt de constructeur te maken met diverse onzekerheden. Hij moet zowel rekening houden met toekomstige schaalvergroting van de scheepvaart, ontwerpformules die maar in beperkte mate aan de praktijk zijn getoetst en veiligheidseisen die aan een de kademuur worden gesteld....

Interacting artificial surf reefs

Trung, L.H. (author)

Wave surfing is existing and becoming more attractive in the Netherlands. However natural wave conditions are not suited to encourage the sport. To improve the surf conditions of the local waves, Artificial Surf Reefs are potential solutions. As a part of intentions to optimise the design of Artificial Surf Reefs, this thesis is aimed at gaining...

De zandhonger van de Oosterschelde Casestudie: De morfologische ontwikkeling van de Galgeplaat

van der Hoeven, M.L.E.B. (author)

Dit onderzoek bestudeert de processen die bepalend zijn voor de afbraak van de Galgeplaat in de Oosterschelde. De beheerder heeft een beter inzicht hierin nodig om beleid tot behoud van het intergetijdengebied te kunnen maken. De probleemstelling luidt: Welke processen zijn bepalend voor de afbraak van de Galgeplaat, voornamelijk gelet op de...

Flow over oblique weirs

Nguyen, B.T. (author)

This report is the conclusion of a comprehensive set of experiments, which were performed on weirs placed obliquely in an open channel. Its purpose is to report on laboratory investigation on the flow over different types of oblique weirs, including behavior and hydraulic characteristic of the flow, different phenomena in the neighborhood of the...

Wave characteristics derived from video

Bos, C. (author)

Collection of long-term data sets of wave characteristics and bathymetry with high resolution in time is a prerequisite to improve our understanding of nearshore coastal dynamics. Advanced video monitoring systems allow to sample these data automatically, on a long-term basis and without the need to deploy in situ instruments in a hostile...

Uncertainty in the application of Bay Shape Equations.

Lausman, R.F. (author)

From the several existing empirical equations that describe the planform of a bay, the Parabolic Bay Shape Equation (PBSE) is the only one that explicitly assesses an equilibrium bay shape. Research has been performed on the uncertainties regarding the static equilibrium planform (SEP) plotted by this equation but results have been more of a...

Comparative analysis of design recommendations for quay walls

Meijer, E. (author)

The design and construction of quay walls is a problem in which people are interested for ages. There are many methods and recommendations developed for this topic. They differ for each country and type of structure and are developed for local conditions. Some of these methods and recommendations are collected in a national code, which can be...

Modelling bowthruster induced flow near a quay-wall

Van Blaaderen, E.A. (author)

For the calculation of bottom protection in harbours near quay-walls, analytical formulas are used. The current experiences suggest an overestimation of load on the harbour bottom. Extensive measurements in prototype situations are very expensive. For this reason, the use of a computer model will be far more economical. However, at this moment...

Surfability of an ASR in irregular waves

Over, R.W.J. (author)

Wave surfing is a popular sport all around the world where the conditions allow for it. Waves preferred by surfers are higher than 1 meter, have a certain hollow breaker shape (plunger) and the angle under which a wave breaks, the peel angle, is within 30-70 degrees. Also in the Netherlands surfing becomes increasingly popular but Dutch wave...

3D numerical simulation of a harbour flow applied to Waalhaven, Port of Rotterdam

Schonewille, H.H. (author)

The Port of Rotterdam has requested to investigate siltation problems and the silt trap in the Waalhaven. Before the computational modelling can be started it needs to be investigated whether the computational model, DELFT3D, is suitable to the problem. The Waalhaven is a relatively small area, compared to other DELFT3D problems. The final...
