Large-scale coastal behaviour in relation to coastal zone management

The development of coastal erosion management - addressing typical traditional erosion problems - towards coastal zone management addressing the evaluation of alternative solutions to guarantee a variety of coastal zone functions on their economic time scale - has necessitated the formulation of large-scale coastal evolution (LSCE) models. Using...

Effects of sea level rise on coastal evolution

Using the Dutch coastal evolution in the Holocene upto the present as an example and a test case, a coastal evolution concept is proposed and materialized with which shoreline position changes for different sea level rise scenarios are predicted. The (more generally applicable) model applies to (quasi-)uniform coastal stretches. It accounts for...

A short review of the Dutch coast

This report about the Dutch coast was written in the context of the experimental phase of the programme CORINE of the Commission of the European Communities. The programme CORINE (COoRdination of INformation on the Environment) is a programme for the gathering, coordinating and ensuring of the environment and natural sources in the Community....

Flight testing in the Netherlands, an overview

This report gives an overview of the flight test activities and capabilities in The Netherlands. A general description of the flight test programs of the last decades with civil and military aircraft, helicopters and research aircraft will be given. Some of the highlights of the more recent programs will be presented, i.e. the type certification...

Crop identification with microwaves (SLAR-data of 1985)

Microwaves (i.e. X-band SLAR) have been used in The Netherlands for many years within ROVE to identify agricultural crops. This report deals with data acquisition, preprocessing and classification of agricultural crops in The Netherlands using the Dutch Digital SLAR. With internal and external calibration of the instrument satisfactory results...

De invloed van CAD op research

NLR has developed an infrastructure of hardware and software for support of aerodynamic design of aircraft. Organizational and technical aspects of this development are described.

CAD-systemen voor overdracht van kennis

The NLR in the Netherlands renders scientific support and technical assistance for the design and operation of aircraft and spacecraft. The approach of NLR can be characterized by integration of experimental and theoretical investigations. For this an integrated computer and terminal network has been developed that links both NLR laboratory...

Policy analysis of water management for the Netherlands. Vol II: Screening and managerial tactics

This volume describes one of the first steps in the evaluation of alternative policy options for water management — the screening of technical and managerial tactics. In this step, a large number of possibilities for changing the movement and storage of water throughout the Netherlands (tactics) were evaluated in terms of a small number of...

Preliminary investigation into the application of magnetic ruhher inspection (M.R.I.)

The present report gives a brief description of the principles and probable advantages of the magnetic rubber inspection technique. The results of a first demonstration of the method at the NLR are discussed. It is concluded that the method needs further evaluation.
