Emergency response in cascading scenarios triggered by natural events

Emergency response is a procedural safety barrier of paramount importance for the mitigation of fire scenarios and the prevention of escalation. However, in Natech scenarios, emergency response may be affected by the natural event impacting the site. Indeed, when contrasting Natech accidents, emergency responders have to face both the natural...

Measurements and Modeling of Pore-Pressure Gradients in the Swash Zone Under Large-Scale Laboratory Bichromatic Waves

The present work presents physical laboratory measurements of surface elevation and pore water pressures in a fine sand bed under bichromatic waves in a large-scale laboratory experiment. This was done at three cross-shore locations in the swash zone, with pressures being measured at different depths in the bed. The measurements show that the...

Verkennende studie naar (petro)chemische clusters en veiligheid: Veiligheidsparameters binnen (petro)chemische clusters en losstaande (petro)chemische bedrijven

Het programma Duurzame Veiligheid 2030 omvat verschillende initiatieven om tot een nog veiligere (petro)chemische sector in Nederland te komen. Eén van de onderdelen (roadmaps) van dit programma heeft als doel de veiligheid in bestaande (petro)chemische clusters duurzaam en significant te verbeteren. Dit onderzoek kadert binnen deze roadmap, en...

Ontevredenheid in de Nederlandse bouw: Een onderzoek naar het sociale interactieproces tussen partijen

Shoaling and shoreline dissipation of low?frequency waves

The growth rate, shoreline reflection, and dissipation of low?frequency waves are investigated using data obtained from physical experiments in the Delft University of Technology research flume and by parameter variation using the numerical model Delft3D?SurfBeat. The growth rate of the shoaling incoming long wave varies with depth with an...

3D structure of mean flows comparison with measurements

This progress report refers to part the work done within the framework of the Dutch Center for Coastal Research (NCK). The primary objective of our research is to develop knowledge and methods for the prediction of the hydrodynamic conditions for the Dutch coast taking into account the morphodynamic behaviour in the nearshore zone. In general...
