Van der Wal, R.J. (author)Especially during storms the coast-profile can change dramatically. During storms large waves cause high oscillatory water velocities near the bottom and the bed becomes plane and sheet flow becomes the dominant sediment transport mode. Because field measurements are difficult to perform in-situ, laboratory experiments concerning these processes...master thesis 1996

Caan, C.P. (author)In Nederland wordt, ter vervanging van de huidige ontwerpmethodiek op basis van een overschrijdingskans, gewerkt aan een nieuwe, probabilistische ontwerpnorm voor de zee- en rivierdijken. Deze nieuwe norm wordt gebaseerd op een risicobenadering. Hierbij bestaat het risiko uit de kans op een overstroming, gecombineerd met de schade die daardoor...master thesis 1996

Adriaens, F. (author), Van Rillaer, L. (author)The objective of the present work is to see whether the transport of sediment in a turbulent free surface flow can be studied with a new method of video image analysis, called the Two-Dimensional Particle Tracking Velocimetry. A slice of a two-dimensional turbulent flow in a laboratory flume is illuminated and particles are injected. After the...master thesis 1996

Eerkens, J.W. (author)In one-dimensional river modelling it is common to schematise the cross-section into a rectangular cross-section with a constant width. If a quasi-steady flow is assumed, the equilibrium longitudinal profile is known and unique: the bottom slope is constant and equals the water surface slope. However, numerical calculations at DELFT HYDRAULICS...master thesis 1996
