Duz, B. (author)The PhD study focused on two topics. The first topic was energy dissipation in wave propagation. The wave dissipation can be caused by physical and/or numerical phenomena, such as the free surface treatment, physical viscosity and artificial viscosity due to discretization of the momentum equations. Among these the free surface treatment is an...doctoral thesis 2015

Van Steeg, P. (author), Labruijere, A. (author), Mom, R. (author)The stability of grass covered slopes on primary flood defences under wave attack is an important aspect with respect to the strength of the entire dike. In a grass slope many transitions to objects (poles, stairs, fences, buildings et cetera) or other revetments (concrete, asphalt, placed block revetment) can be present. This can potentially...report 2015

Kishoen Misier, R.K. (author)Nowadays, in the Netherlands there are about 600 kilometers of asphaltic revetments lying mainly on sea dikes of which approximately 400 km of dike is covered with asphalt concrete [STOWA, 2011]. Asphalt concrete revetments are applied the most and are mostly of older age. Because of the older age it needs intensive care involving periodic...master thesis 2014

Luppes, R. (author), Duz, B. (author), Van der Heiden, H.J.L. (author), Van der Plas, P. (author), Veldman, A.E.P. (author)The simulation tool ComFLOW, developed for accurate predictions of hydrodynamic wave loading, is based on the Navier-Stokes equations. The free-surface dynamics is described through VOF, with local height-function approach to enhance accuracy. Numerical reflections are prevented by specially designed absorbing boundary conditions. Gravity...conference paper 2011

Mous, B.C. (author)Against the background of enhanced hydraulic loads due to climate change there will be a need for improvement of the flood defence system in the Netherlands in the future. These days there is a growing interest in grass as a dike cover because it is a cheap and a sustainable dike protection. Yet at the moment there is a hiatus in the knowledge...master thesis 2010

Oumeraci, H. (author), Staal, T. (author), Pfoertner, S. (author), Ludwigs, G. (author), Kudella, M. (author)ELASTOCOAST revetments are highly porous structures made of crushed stones which are durably and elastically bonded by Polyurethane (PU). To improve the understanding of the physical processes involved in the wave-structure-foundation interaction and to develop prediction formulae for both hydraulic performance and wave loading more than 75...report 2010

Sluijsmans, R.W. (author)The elastocoast system can be used as an armour layer on revetments. The bonding system exists of a mix of crushed stones and 2-component polyurethane. This bonding system creates bonding forces between the stones and an open (porous) structure can be obtained. Elastocoast is developed by Elastogran GmbH, a BASF subsidiary. The response of an...master thesis 2009

Davidse, M.P. (author)In the year 1991 the Technical Advisory Commission (TAW-A4) ordered a full scale investigation on wave impacts on an asphaltic concrete revetment. The goal of the experiment was to gain insight into the mechanisms which would lead to failure, cracking of the revetment. Also the behaviour of the revetment after failure (residual strength) was...master thesis 2009

Cuomo, G. (author)In most developed coastal areas, seawalls protect towns, road, rail and rural infrastructure against wave overtopping. Similar structures protect port installations worldwide, and may be used for cliff protection. When a large tidal excursion and severe environmental conditions concur to expose seawalls and vertical face breakwaters to wave...report 2007

Holterman, S.R. (author)kruinhoogte. Een te lage dijk kan onder extreme omstandigheden bezwijken, waarna inundatie van het achterliggende land volgt. Een te hoge dijk daarentegen betekent dat onnodig hoge aanlegkosten. Het is dus van groot belang de benodigde kruinhoogte van een dijk nauwkeurig te kunnen bepalen. Twee belangrijke faetoren die de benodigde kruinhoogte...master thesis 1998

Heijn, K.M. (author)Recently, interest in vertical breakwaters has grown. The development of ports from natural small harbours to artificial large harbours facing the outer sea has demanded the construction of breakwaters in rougher seas. The vertical breakwater could play a role of importance in this development. To obtain general guidelines for the design of...master thesis 1997

The full-scale investigations were carried out in the new research facility LARGE WAVE CHANNEL in Hannover. Germany. Maximum shock pressure estimations are given for practical slopes 1:4 and 1:6. An extension of...report 1988

Skladnev, M.F. (author), Popov, I.Y. (author)A description is presented of a wave flume with a pneumatic wave productor, which can generate waves up to 2 m high. The principal mental results are outlined of dynamic wave action on the slope protection of an earth dam, with the slope protection formed of slabs with open joints placed on an artificial filter layer. Data are cited on wave...conference paper 1969

Führböter, A. (author)A special impact generator was constructed in order to produce water impacts with velocities which are not available in scale models with waves. The water impact was generated by a jet suddenly striking upon a measuring area. Even under same conditions of impact, stochastic scattering of the peak pressures was observed; but for all test series...conference paper 1969
