Feasibility Study of LUFAR

With the steady increase in space missions, enabled through technological advances and increase of commercialisation within the space flight industry, both more and increasingly complex missions can be designed for space. To this end, the Lunar Zebro project competes within this field through its small lunar rover design, drastically decreasing...

IMOVE: A Motion Tracking and Projection Framework for Social Interaction Applications

In public places such as malls, train stations, and airports, there is a constant flow of people either waiting or commuting. Even though people at these locations are surrounded by many other individuals, mostly there is little social interaction, which generally creates a gloomy atmosphere. Any applications promoting social interactions are...

Urban living with water: Sustainable stormwater management for Liesing in Vienna

This thesis addresses how sustainable stormwater management can play a self-evident role in a trans-disciplinary landscape design process. It will be seen that experts, community and an urban designer are needed in order to explore improvements of the urban drainage system and possibilities for synergies. These synergies will enable stormwater...

OpenEarth: Using Google Earth as outreach for NCK's data

In 2003 various projects at Deltares and the TU-Delft merged their toolboxes for marine and coastal science and engineering into one toolbox, culminating in 2008 in an open source release, known as OpenEarthTools (OET). OpenEarth adopts the wikipedia approach to growth: web 2.0 crowd sourcing. All users are given full write access to help...

Kustlijnen voor Dijkringen: Over de relatie tussen kustlijnzorg en de sterkte van Nederlandse duinwaterkeringen

Voorliggend rapport doet verslag van een studie die Deltares, op verzoek van het Ministerie I&M en het Deltaprogramma Kust, heeft uitgevoerd naar de bijdrage van het programma Kustlijnzorg aan het duurzaam handhaven (of vergroten) van de sterkte van duinwaterkeringen op de middellange en lange termijn. Hiertoe wordt een antwoord gezocht op de...

Drawing lines in the sand: The evolution of Dutch coastal policy

The state of the coast (Toestand van de kust). Case study: North Holland

Over more than a thousand years, the Dutch coast has been eroding for large stretches. Coastal retreat puts coastal functions (e.g. safety against flooding) under pressure. Since 1990, the Dutch policy aims at preventing further retreat of the coastline, but in the meantime taking the valuable dynamical behaviour of the coast into account....

Development of a mud transport model for the Scheldt estuary in the framework of LTV: Phases 1 and 2

Spoorzone Delft - Onderzoek naar de gevolgen van explosies in de spoortunnel en de mogelijkheden van bebouwing op de nieuwe tunnel

Het spoorviaduct door Delft is een bron van ergernis voor omwonenden door de enorme geluidsoverlast en doordat het viaduct een visuele en fysieke barri is dwars door de stad. De gemeente Delft is daarom een politieke lobby gestart om het viaduct te vervangen door een spoortunnel. Daarbij zal de ruimte boven de tunnel opnieuw ingericht worden. In...

Entrainment mud suspensions

Laboratory experiments on the entrainment by a Concentrated Benthic Suspension

The deposition of cohesive sediments in estuarin and eoestal environments can lead to a range of managerial problems. To deal with these problems it is essential to understand the behaviour of cohesive sediment and its interaction with the flow field. During slack water, cohesive sediment is deposited and a Concentrated Benthic Suspension (CBS)...

Transport of cohesive sediments: Classification and requirements for turbulence modelling

This report describes a classification of sediment-laden flows, which gives an overview of the different transport forms of fine sediment and the interactions of the different processes as acting in an estuary. At the outs et of the proposed classification a distinction in physical states of water-sediment mixtures is made. A water-sediment...
