De morfologische effecten van de baggergeulen in de Zandmaas

Naar aanleiding van de hoogwatergolf op de Maas in 1993 werd door de Minister van Verkeer en Waterstaat de Commissie Boertien 11 ingesteld, met als opdracht te adviseren op welke wijze de hoogwateroverlast in het Maasdal in de toekomst beperkt kan worden. Het advies luidde in hoofdzaak een verbreding van de Grensmaas en een verdieping van de...

Longitudinal profiles of rivers with a composite cross-section

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...

On the morphology of rivers on volcano slopes

The rivers on the slopes of the Kelud volcano in Indonesia are marked by steep slopes and fine sediment. Therefore often supercritical flow and large sediment transports occur. In this exploratory study a mathematical model has been developed for this type of rivers. The properties of this model are examined with an analysis of the...
