Value of Safety

We witness many severe accidents in different sectors worldwide every year, resulting in fatalities, injuries, environmental pollution, property loss, etc. Safety management aims to use interventions to prevent these undesired events and thus avoid different kinds of loss. Various interventions that have different safety performances and costs...

(Petro)chemische clusters en veiligheid: Drijfveren en hindernissen voor samenwerking

COSI-project - Collaboration on safety in (petro)chemical clusters

(Petro)chemische clusters en veiligheid: Een clusterspecifieke rangschikking van veiligheidsparameters

Kenmerkend voor bedrijven die in een cluster gelegen zijn, zijn de onderlinge risico’s waarbij de risico’s van één bedrijf aanleiding kunnen geven tot nieuwe risico’s bij een aangrenzend of een nabijgelegen bedrijf. Daarbij gaat het om de mogelijkheid op domino-effecten, keteneffecten, of nadelige effecten (letsel/schade). Voor (petro)chemische...

Verkennende studie naar (petro)chemische clusters en veiligheid: Veiligheidsparameters binnen (petro)chemische clusters en losstaande (petro)chemische bedrijven

Het programma Duurzame Veiligheid 2030 omvat verschillende initiatieven om tot een nog veiligere (petro)chemische sector in Nederland te komen. Eén van de onderdelen (roadmaps) van dit programma heeft als doel de veiligheid in bestaande (petro)chemische clusters duurzaam en significant te verbeteren. Dit onderzoek kadert binnen deze roadmap, en...

Expertblog: Grootste Europese conferentie over procesveiligheid naar TU Delft

Safety en security in de praktijk: Eindrapport

Process safety for the 21st century and beyond

Process safety has been practiced as a field of research and safety management in the oil and chemical industries since the 1960s. Over this period there have been many tragic incidents, which have resulted in fatalities as well as asset, environmental, and reputational damage. While standards have improved since then and much work has been done...

Numerical Modelling of Infragravity Wave Response during Delilah

In this paper the nonlinear numerical model SHORECIRC is applied to simulate the intragravity wave conditions on two days during the 1990 Delilah campaign. In order to simulate the wave conditions an algorithm has been derived which synthesizes a directional of/shore wavefield from data including the bound, directional low-frequency components....

3D structure of mean flows comparison with measurements

This progress report refers to part the work done within the framework of the Dutch Center for Coastal Research (NCK). The primary objective of our research is to develop knowledge and methods for the prediction of the hydrodynamic conditions for the Dutch coast taking into account the morphodynamic behaviour in the nearshore zone. In general...

Directional spreading in surfbeat: A first assessment

In the following we consider the forcing of long waves by normally or obliquely incident grouped short waves, also known as surf beat. Two mechanisms responsible for the generation of long waves are considered: the release of the bound long waves associated with changes in the spatial variation of the incident short wave energy [Longuet-Higgins...
