Heijboer, Dick (author)The lock of Hansweert, located in the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands, serves as a crucial inland shipping node between the Western Scheldt estuary and the Rhine Delta. The outer harbour of the lock complex provides the connection to the Western Scheldt and accommodates waiting facilities for inland ships. The Western Scheldt is a vital...master thesis 2024

ten Napel, Zoë (author)Tidal flats are important coastal ecosystems that support a diverse range of plants and animals. Accurate prediction of water motion over tidal flats is crucial for the design of coastal infrastructure, hazard assessment, environmental management and oceanography research. Defina [1] derived a new set of shallow water equations that allow for...master thesis 2023

Burgers, Elsje (author)Estuaries have always been important for mankind and therefore it is essential to have a good understanding of the flow and sediment dynamics there. The goal of this thesis is twofold. One objective is to use an existing model to gain a more thorough understanding of the flow dynamics in an estuary. The second objective is to extend the model...master thesis 2020

Gupta, Abhishek (author)The thesis presents a numerical study on dredging induced undrained instability and subsequent static liquefaction of submarine landslides. For the study, a pre-existing hydro-dynamic uncoupled submarine slope numerical model, developed by Molenkamp (1999), has been modified to incorporate a fully hydro-dynamic coupled interaction between...master thesis 2019

Baart, S.A. (author)This thesis investigates the stability of rocks in toe bunds for rubble mound breakwaters. Presently recommended design tools lack a reasonable degree of accuracy to assess required toe element dimensions. The goal of this research is to improve the insight in the physical process related to stability of toe bund elements under wave load....master thesis 2008
