van den Bosch, B.A.P. (author)Land reclamations in deltaric areas provide space to meet the demand for a safe place to live and work. Sand, a traditional filling material in some locations is becoming scarcer. An alternative filling material is mud. Mud consists of clay, silt, sand, organic material, water and gas. Therefore, it is a versatile material and difficult to...master thesis 2016

Van de Wetering, R.G. (author)Vertical fluid oscillations have experimentally been shown to retard solid particles from settling at their terminal settling velocity. Using non-uniform fluid oscillations it even showed possible to make particles hover or rise against gravity. Non-uniform fluid oscillations are defined as sawtooth-like wave shapes, whereas uniform oscillations...master thesis 2016

Hendriks, H.C.M. (author)A demand to use mud as fill material for land reclamations has emerged over the past years. Such reclamations start with pumping a muddy suspension into an area enclosed by dikes. The particles in suspension then settle to form a mud layer, so that the supernatant can be removed. This filling process may be repeated several times to completely...master thesis 2016

Reuber, J. (author)The subject of this master thesis is to present the processes taking place at the erosion of a fluid mud layer due to entrainment, to carry out experiments in an annular flume and compare the results of these experiments with a numerical model, which has been elaborated at the TU Delft. The report can be devided into five parts: physical and...master thesis 1994
