Predicting currents at the "Gemini" wind farm: Analysis of Triaxys ADCP-data

Van Oord is currently building the Gemini Wind farm in the North Sea. It is located 80km North of Schiermonnikoog. Before execution started some wave and current analysing buoys have been deployed to investigate the currents on the location of the wind farm for workability and insurance purposes. In this report the ADCP-current data will be...

Effect of removal of the Oosterschelde storm surge barrier

The research objective of this thesis is to determine the new hydrodynamic and morphodynamic situation in case the Oosterschelde storm surge barrier is removed, with emphasis on the development of the intertidal area. To reach the objectives of this study a literature study is performed which describes the impact of the Deltaworks. An analytical...

Idealised tidal dynamics in an estuary with a horizontally movable time dependent barrier: A contribution to one of the possible solutions of the sludge problem in the Eems estuary

In this thesis the hydrodynamic behaviour of an idealised relatively short tidal estuary is studied using a cross-sectionally averaged model, i.e. a one dimensional model. The geometry of the estuary is simplified and only the hydrodynamic processes are considered. This model is used to gain insight in the behaviour of currents and water levels...
