Snyder, Andrew (author)
This thesis investigates the erosion process of cohesive soil due to a submerged, moving, inclined water jet. This study provides a visualization and description of the failure mechanics of cohesive soil due to a submerged inclined water jet and develops a new equation for estimating the erosion process of cohesive soil while including the angle...

The increasing demand for rare minerals, such as lithium, cobalt, and copper, driven by the growth of the world population and the transition towards sustainable energy technologies, has become a pressing concern. These minerals are crucial for electrifying the transportation sector through electric vehicle production and are in high demand for...

"Arctic Symphony" is an exploration into the intersection of architecture, music, dance, and the temporal dimensions of the Arctic landscape. This project, originally started as a graduation project, transcends traditional architecture by embracing the ever-changing dynamics of the Arctic environment and human interaction.<br/><br/>At the core...

The Catterline Bay, located in North East Scotland, is prone to erosion processes. Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) two point clouds were obtained in 2019 and 2022 from this area of ca. 0.2 km<sup>2</sup>. Here, a methodology was proposed and tested to assess how erosion processes can be monitored from high resolution point clouds in small...

The Saturnian moon Titan has a methane-based hydrological cycle similar to the water cycle on earth. This includes lakes, fluvial drainage networks, clouds and has evidence for precipitation of methane rain. Here we explore the impact of rainfall on Titan based on an analogue laboratory approach. While the composition and structure of the Titan...

In future decades, coasts will be exposed to increasing risks because of climate change and sea level rise, which poses an increased threat of coastal inundation, erosion and ecosystem loss. The natural variability of coasts can make it difficult to identify these impacts. Most beaches worldwide show evidence of recent erosion. Sea level rise is...

The constant impingement of sand particles on the wetted surfaces of a centrifugal dredge pump causes the performance of the pump to deteriorate. Therefore, components or complete pumps have to be replaced after some time. The use of numerical models to estimate the erosion wear in centrifugal dredge pumps can give insight into the principal...

Holsten, Henry (author)
In the arctic region many coastal areas exhibit rapid erosion, with coastal retreat or erosion rates of 10 meters per year (m/yr.) or higher in places. This poses a threat primarily to all manner of infrastructure built directly on and near the coastline. With climate change the coastal erosion is expected to increase. This effect is expected to...

Density waves inhibit the stability of (long) pipelines, which cannot be predicted using current day design tools. Density waves are formed due to an inverse relationship between sand eroding and settling in a pipeline. By designing and building a dedicated flow loop, an experimental study on how the erosion and sedimentation of sand in a pipe...

The Baltic Sea region is facing multiple ecological and socio-economic challenges that will significantly influence the coastal communities and habitation on the coastline in the future. Eutrophication, decline of fish resources, climate crisis, and sea-level rise are the effect of irreversible anthropogenic actions in the region, which demand...

Environmental activism requires effective communication to a wide audience in order to highlight ongoing issues around the world. Art and environmental art in particular, can be a powerful tool to showcase this type of complex issues and can be used to raise awareness of the seriousness of the problem at hand. Museums, as trusted institutions,...

In this thesis project, a landscape architectural framework is made for a selected site in the Parkstad Limburg region. The design proposal for this region serves as a possible outcome of this framework, based on design principles and generic objectives. Parkstad Limburg used to be a wealthy region due to the thriving mining industry. The...

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is scheduled to present their solution for a storm surge barrier on Galveston Island in 2021 to congress for approval. A solution for an engineered dune system on the Galveston Island West End has been proposed, but storm surge models have shown that protection from this engineered dune only goes...

The erosion resistance of clay is an important aspect when assessing the integrity of a levee. This is because the clay layer of a dike must resist the forces that are imposed in the case of overflow or overtopping. Currently, the erosion resistance of clay in the Netherlands is being assessed based on the sand content, the liquid limit and the...

War renders the characteristic of a territory and over-shadows the affects and desires that have been always a part of it. The Bosnian genocide in the early 90’s not only impacted the political and urban structure but also was a severe blow to the social structure. Mostar and Mostarki were synonymous to tolerant cohesive society. Neretva was one...

At Isle of Palms there is a lot of erosion due to shoal bypassing events. Five TU Delft Hydraulic Engineering students went to the island under supervision of Coastal Science and Engineering. The main scope of the report is to create a thorough understanding of the processes that form, transform and propagate the shoals that cause catastrophic...

Erosion for Betterment is a graduation project within the Landscape Architecture master track at the TU Delft. The project examines an underdeveloped coastal area in Ghana that is sadly facing severe erosional threats due to previous unfortunate human activities. It offers an unexpected direction in handling issues as such by proposing an...

The beach at Ngapali, Myanmar is eroding, resulting in a shoreline which moves landward. The coastline gets closer to the vegetation each year and during the monsoon season, at high tide, it reaches the palm trees completely. The assumption is that this is due to people shovelling truckloads of sand from the beach to use for construction, this...

A new flood risk approach for design and testing of primary and secondary flood defence structures in the Netherlands relies on the probability of loss of the water retaining capacity. Determining this probability for levees requires a better understanding of consequences of extreme conditions leading to failure, starting with a study of soil....

Erosion is a phenomenon present in several industrial processes. In dredging, the jetting of sand in drag heads erodes the sand bed. In construction of offshore infrastructure such as wind turbines, oil and gas production units, marine pipelines, erosion of material near the foundations can put the stability of structures at stake. Furthermore,...
