Pepping, C. (author)This master thesis aims to determine the best design option and the feasibility of an artificial sandy beach along the Old Boulevard of Batumi, Georgia. The coastline south of Batumi is affected by erosion problems. The coastal stretch between the port in the north and the Chorokhi River south of Batumi should be protected. In 2010 Alkyon...master thesis 2012

Van Bentum, K.M. (author)The Lagos coast has been suffering high rates of erosion since the construction of three harbour moles, i.e. the West Mole, East Mole and the Training Mole, at the tidal inlet connecting the Lagos Lagoon to the South Atlantic Ocean. To provide for a permanent erosion mitigation measure and to create residential and commercial area for circa 400...master thesis 2012

Hendriks, A.J.H. (author)Objective Due the coastal protection program along the Dutch coast, the groins that first defended the coast against erosion, are now covered under sediment. Due to erosion the covered groins will resurface however. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the resurfacing groins on the hydrodynamics and sediment transport....master thesis 2011

Hopmans, R. (author), Van Kessel, L. (author), Lendering, K. (author), Oud, M. (author), Tromp, R. (author)The harbor of Surgidero de Batabano is a harbor that lies in the Gulf of Batabano in the South-Western part of Cuba. It serves as a connection between the main land of Cuba and the islands 'Isla de la Juventud' and Cayo Largo. The Batabano harbor suffers from sediment accretion. The accretion of sediment is harmful to port operations, since the...student report 2011

De Jongste, A.L. (author)The area of the Merwedes is a transition zone between a tide-dominated area and a river-dominated area. With increasing river discharge, the influence of river flow dominates in this part of the Rhine-Meuse Delta. The composition of the river bed of the Merwedes is also a transitional area, because of the presence of both sand and mud. It is...master thesis 2010

Umapathy, S. (author)The study focuses on the impact of human interventions on the natural behaviour of estuaries in response to sea-level rise. In particular it focuses on the affect of managed realignment on the critical sea level rise (SLRcrit) for the Poole Harbour. Numerical model ASMITA (Aggregated Scale Morphological Interaction between a Tidal inlet and the...master thesis 2009

Hoogduin, L. (author)The aim of this research is to determine to what extend the scour holes limit the sediment transport through the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier and whether or not human adaptations, like sand-nourishments in the scour holes, can have a positive effect on the sediment import. To investigate these scenarios a numerical model (Delft3D) is used...master thesis 2009

Verduin, F. (author)The objective of this thesis is to improve the insight into the morphological processes in the outer delta of the Westerschelde estuary, especially those related to the sediment exchange between the delta and the estuary. The main residual sediment transport patterns in the delta have been found to look as follows. On a large scale there is a...master thesis 2009

Van de Waal, R. (author)The Dutch Western Wadden Sea, comprising the basins of Texel, Eierlandse Gat and Vlie, suffers a shortage of sediments. This implies that sediment is imported into the basins. The influence of the main forcing agents on the sediment transport is investigated. These forcing agents are the tide, waves and wind. In case of the wind forcing, both...master thesis 2006

Mols, H.J.M.A. (author)Gradients in sediment transport due to waves and currents cause coastal changes and sediment transport is an important subject in coastal engineering research. It is therefore necessary to predict the sediment transport rates in the coastal region. Various formulae are available to predict the sediment transport rates, for example the sediment...master thesis 2001

Veuger, A. (author)The area of interest in this study is the closed part of the Holland coast. This is the coastal stretch from Den Helder to Hoek van Holland. Here the coast is not interrupted by tidal inlets like at the Waddeneilanden or Zeeland.Due to erosion and accretion the coast is not always stable. Many investigations have been done on these phenomena...master thesis 2001

Westgeest, T.W. (author)This study focuses on time-averaged sediment transport in oscillatory flow in the sheet flow regime. The tests, used in this study, are part ofthe experiments, carried out under the name SISTEX99 (Small-scale International Sediment Transport Experiments 1999). SISTEX99 focuses on near-bed sediment transport processes under influence of regular...master thesis 2000

Mulderij-Meijer, G.J. (author)Experimenteel onderzoek naar de validiteit van een sediment pick-up functie. Sinds 1988 is door Bakker en Van Kesteren gerapporteerd over de ontwikkeling van een sediment pick-up theorie. De theorie beschrijft erosie van horizontale zandlagen onder invloed van hoge stroomsnelheden. Uit de theorie is op analytische wijze een sediment pick-up...master thesis 1999

Feenstra, T.D.S. (author)De laaggelegen delen van Nederland en de gebieden langs de rivieren worden tegen hoog water beschennd met een stelsel van waterkeringen, waaronder dijken. Over dijkbouw is veel bekend, maar over het bezwijken van een dijk veel minder. Dit is wel een steeds belangrijker wordend onderwerp. In de probabilistiek wordt met het mogelijk falen van een...master thesis 1999
