Landscape Approach South-Florida: Landscape architecture explorations in Miami, Biscayne National Park, Lake Okeechobee & Everglades City through seven MSc-graduation projects

The coastal landscape of South Florida faces many challenges connected to climate change and urbanization. Sea level rise, loss of ecosystems, land subsidence, aquifer depletion are some of the issues that need serious attention. Landscape Approach Florida is showcasing results of a Landscape Architecture Design Lab where seven MSc-graduates...

SimEx 2018 - Digital Exercise Environment

During SimEx2018 the large-scale field exercise was augmented with a digital environment. This digital environment consists of the digital presence of role-players on social media, the use of modern web technologies and the involvement of the Digital humanitarian Network (DHN). In SimEx2018 the DHN, specifically the Standby Task Force (SBTF) was...

Integrating spatio-temporal data into agent-based simulation for emergency navigation support

Emergency navigation for first responders in changing disasters is a very complex task and creates a new set of challenges for researchers. A lot of research work on this direction has been done. Nevertheless, traditional navigation systems consider only one responder with a pair of start and end points and the considered obstacles in previous...

Peer Selection with Hopcount and Delay Constraint

We revisit the peer selection problem of finding the most nearby peer from an initiating peer. The metrics to assess the closeness between peers are hopcount and delay, respectively. Based on a dense graph model with i.i.d regular link weight, we calculate the probability density function to reach a peer with minimum hopcount and asymptotically...

Modelling of Cohesive Sediment Transport in the Maasmond Area

In the Dutch coastal zone, where the marine environment is highly dynamic owing to tidal currents, wind-driven, wave-driven, and density-driven currents and waves, the cohesive sediment dynamics is always a great concern to transportation authority and coastal managers. So far, a lot research has been contributed on the cohesive sediment...

Hydrology and flow forecasting

We have studied and applied the statistic model (i.e. MMC) and hydrological models to Upper Yellow River. This report introduces the results and some conclusions from the model. The three models, MMC, MWBM and NAM, have be applied in the research area. The forecasted discharge by the three models are closed to the recorded in most low flow...

Study on mechanism for water pricing

Water resources contribute greatly to human well being, both directly and indirectly. Water resources are irreplaceable natural resources, and are limited. However, due to a growing population and related economic development, the water demand from urban, industry and agriculture has increased dramatically. Water shortage has become one of the...

Dynamic forces on a bed element in open channel flow with a backward facing step

Experiments to measure forces on objects in open channel flow behind a bacward facing step

Experiments and computations on unsteady separating flow in an expanding flume

An unsteady, separating flow with a free surface was investigated with a physical model and a numerical model. To simulate tidal flow, the prescribed flow rate at the inflow boundary was a half-period sine function of time. Measurements of velocities and wave heights were conducted by using LDV and a wave-height meter in a straight open channel...

Measurements of turbulent flow in a suddenly expanding flume with a rough bottom

Some measurements were conducted in a suddenly expanding flume with a rough bottom. In the approach flume, the friction velocity was determined in three ways and the distributions of turbulence intensities and Reynolds stress in a vertical were obtained. The measurement of the separating turbulent flow comprised the distribution of depth...
