The area of the Merwedes is a transition zone between a tide-dominated area and a river-dominated area. With increasing river discharge, the influence of river flow dominates in this part of the Rhine-Meuse Delta. The composition of the river bed of the Merwedes is also a transitional area, because of the presence of both sand and mud. It is...

Landslide generated Tsunamis are classified as a type of impulse waves. Several parameters including the geometry of the reservoir affect the behavior of impulse waves. The effects of geometry on impulse wave parameters are not yet fully understood. In order to investigate the effects of geometry on landslide generated impulse waves a total of...

From December 2004 onwards every seagoing vessel over 300 Gross Tonnage (GT) is obliged to be equiped with an Automatic Identification System (AIS). Vessels equipped with this system, send out a message every few seconds, containing their position, speed, course, identification number, etc. This makes it possible to perform a statistical...

This thesis reviews Arctic development, and industrial responses to changing climate-driven, geospatial, and economic environments. First, the optimization of trans-arctic navigation was addressed in light of the global warming impact on Arctic sea ice. In this regard, a central consideration was given to the Northern Sea Route (NSR), such that...

Found on the NW Mediterranean, the Catalan coast is not only subjected to morphological changes driven by physical natural processes but also by significant changes in local dynamics that result from the numerous coastal structures that are found on its realm. The armoring of coastal stretches is a common selected option for protecting valuable...

The objective of this study is to determine large scale of fine sediment transport near coral reefs islands in the Singapore Strait. Coral reefs in the Singapore Strait face great pressure due to high sedimentation and turbidity, which cause decreasing of light penetration and of environment quality for the coral growth. Sedimentation and high...

The Lai Giang inlet located in Binh Dinh province incorporates various features of the estuaries in the Central part of Vietnam. Belonging to the micro-tidal and wave-dominant coast and influenced by the monsoon regime, the inlet has a seasonal character. During the dry season, as the river flow diminishes, the wave action causes high level of...

Due to the diminishing Coriolis force towards the equator, the equatorial zone is known to be cyclone-free. However, on 27th December 2001, a tropical cyclone Vamei was formed near Singapore; 1.4 degrees latitude North from the equator, and made a landfall about 60 km northeast of Singapore. Although this event did not cause any major...

The immersed tunnel technique is a common used technique for river crossings in the Netherlands, but also in the United States and Japan. 80% of the immersed tunnels are built in these 3 countries. The design of the immersed tunnels differs for the different countries, because of the possibility of seismic loading on the tunnel structure. This...

The Eastern Scheldt tidal basin and its ebb tidal delta have changed drastically in the recent centuries under the influence of natural processes and human interventions. A Storm Surge Barrier, one of constructions within framework of Delta Project in the Eastern Scheldt, is considered as the largest impact to changes in hydrodynamics and...

Ramachandran, K. (author)
Process-based morphological models are widely recognised as a valuable tool for predicting coastal and estuarine morphological developments. However, long-term morphodynamic models are still considered to be in the process of development. Considerable uncertainty is therefore anticipated when these models are being applied in long-term estuarine...

Climate change and dwindling energy resources are the driving factors behind the research being performed in the Arctic region. The climate change is being caused by an increase in the greenhouse gases and this has disturbed the natural balance. These greenhouse gases are causing the rapid retreat of the ice in the Arctic region. This spells...

The increase in trade and economies of scale has influenced ports in respect to the growth and services they provide. Ports as trade commercial centres, in which international markets and national economies meet, must start considering how the impacts of extreme climate change influence their port management and operations. This particular study...

In dit rapport wordt een probabilistisch (diepte-) ontwerp gepresenteerd voor het binnengebied van de haven van Rotterdam. Ook worden de mogelijke faalmechanismen (bodemberoering en verminderd manoeuvreerbaarheid) bestudeerd. Als referentie modellen zijn bestudeerd de modellen Harap en Protide van Rijkswaterstaat, en CADET van US Army Corps of...

Hydraulic structures are present in the designs of different Room for the River projects in the Netherlands. Examples are longitudinal weirs, groins, summer dikes and weirs in the inlet of a side channel. Morphological simulations with Delft3D are frequently carried out to investigate the effect of such projects on for example hindrance for...

Real coastal waves measured at 4 different locations in the world were analyzed in detail. Long travelled swell measured in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, wind swell from the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica, short period wind waves from the Ebro Delta in Mediterranean coast of Spain, and waves measured during the passing of Hurricane Wilma near...

The objective of this study is to analyze and simulate the behavior of a non-equilibrium profile in a storm event, in particular, the Maasvlakte-2 (MV2). The MV2 is a large reclamation project at which both soft and hard sea-defenses are applied. Soft sea-defenses exhibit steep initial profiles during construction. Understanding how this sea...

Construction of breakwaters is performed consecutively from core layer, filter layer, up to the armour layer. During construction, excessive damage is often encountered on core layers due to environmental conditions. The damage behaviour of core layers is similar to berm breakwater structures, where the initial profile is reshaped into a more...

Coastal floodplains in the south of England are at high risk of tidal flooding due to extreme water levels. The breaching of coastal defences is the most dominant source of floodwater and is a spatially and temporally uncertain process. However, there is an increasing requirement for predictive breach modelling for the simulation of coastal...
