Huis in 't Veld, M.L.H. (author)In the region of the Riau Islands of Indonesia fresh water scarcity is one of the challenges the local community is facing. In order to increase the catchment of fresh water the choice is made to turn Bintan Bay, part of the Riau Islands, into a fresh water reservoir. Hereby collecting the fresh water runoff from local rivers. It is however...master thesis 2015

Choy, D.Y. (author)Offshore sand waves of several meters high and hundreds of meters long are formed in shallow seas due to the tidal currents. These sand waves can, amongst others, influence the burial depth of cables of offshore wind farms and obstruct navigation channels. For the Far Large Offshore Wind programme (FLOW), one of the goals of Deltares is to...master thesis 2015

Broekema, Y.B. (author)In this study a modelling approach was investigated that takes into account the effect of short wave grouping on long wave motions, calculating sediment transport and morphology with multiple fractions and a layered bed stratigraphy. After extensive testing and validating this model using data collected in a wave flume in Hannover this model was...master thesis 2015

Attema, Y.H. (author)The interaction between vegetation and the morphodynamics is considered to be an important process in salt marsh formation and succession. Therefore, the contribution of vegetation modelling on the long-term morphological development of salt marshes is assessed by implementing a vegetation growth model in the morphodynamic modelling software...master thesis 2014

Van Biert, L. (author)Direct Internal Reforming (DIR) on Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) anodes is often considered for fuel cells systems utilising carbon based fuels. Methane Steam Reforming (MSR) is one of the most extensively studied types of DIR. The hydrogen formed by the MSR reaction can be electrochemically oxidised in the fuel cell to produce electricity, while...master thesis 2014

Tuinhof, T.J. (author)By its very nature dredging is an environmental impact, since dredging includes the excavation and/or relocation of sediment in a river, sea or estuary. One of the environmental impacts related to dredging is increased suspended sediment concentration (SSC) levels, forming plumes of sediment. These so called dredge plumes originate from spillage...master thesis 2014

Van Verseveld, H.C.W. (author)Hurricane Sandy (2012), which made landfall in New Jersey on October 29th, made devastating impact on the East Coast of the USA and struck major parts of New York City, including the economic centre of Manhattan. The total damage (in the USA and Caribbean) is in excess of 100 billion US$ with estimates ranging between 78 and 97 billion US$ for...master thesis 2014

Strikker, C.J. (author)This master thesis comprehends a study on khettaras, historical subsurface drainage tunnels, in East Morocco. A numerical groundwater model was set up to simulate these systems and to get a better understanding of their behaviour. Subsequently, the model was used to simulate the effect of several scenarios: increased use of pumped wells in the...master thesis 2014

Zhao, X. (author)Consequence of disturbance due to fault of earthing of on-board systems are not always clear. Second, the military EMC standards are outdated and the rationale behind these standards lacks. Therefore, research into rationale of standards and directives related to system earthing on board is necessary; in addition, develop appropriate on-board...master thesis 2014

De Weerd, M.G.P. (author)A common practice for hydrologists to determine the performance of a hydrological model and its parameter values, is by calibrating the model parameters on observed discharge data, but this data is not always available. For this reason, other data should be used as complementary data in order to reduce the uncertainty of outflow and processes in...master thesis 2014

Oudkerk, F.L. (author)Current approaches that deliver energy insight to customers are rather poor, data centric and incomprehensible. Driven by the vision to differently support customers in the transition towards new energy behavior, the Energy Game was developed. This service aims to guide customers in their journey towards a situation in which customers manage...master thesis 2014

Van der Meer, C.G. (author)Pathogens are present in our urban water system, and may pose a health risk to swimmers and playing children. Although the knowledge of pathogens has increased over recent years, little is known about their behaviour in the urban water system. The goal of this thesis is to investigate this. First, the behaviour of pathogens under the influence...master thesis 2013

Verweij, R. (author)Simulation models become increasingly important in energy policy analysis. A literature review showed that there is demand for analysing the effect of multiple more realistic investment algorithms on the outcomes of energy policy analysis. The reason is that energy policy analysis could be incomplete without insight in the implications of the...master thesis 2013

Torres Carranza, Y.A. (author)The Altiplano Basin (Bolivia) exhibits one of the best examples of dryland river systems with a low gradient, where it is possible to obtain field data to build 3D high-resolution geological models of different sediment bodies. This study presents the development and understanding of a 3D geological model for crevasse splays deposited in this...master thesis 2013

Ramamurthy, P.P. (author)The need for increased computing capability and more diverse hardware with its evermore complex topologies continues to grow. The use of multicore processors, which is quite established in the desktop computers, is gaining importance in the embedded systems for industrial applications. Because of the complexity of the environment and the special...master thesis 2013

Huibregtse, W.P. (author)This thesis focusses on the north-eastward shifting beach at Brouwersdam, which poses a problem for users and stakeholders of the beach. This trend is likely to continue in the foreseeable future and could result in a beach that can no longer fulfil its current functions, like recreation and tourism. Analysis of bathymetric data from the last...master thesis 2013

Boeters, R. (author)Where Level of Detail (LoD) allow City Geography Markup Language (CityGML) models to be shared over different application domains, only one LoD defines building interiors. As there are potentially numerous applications with a need for building interiors (but not with all the details as defined in LoD4), in order to attain a larger applicability...master thesis 2013

Breeveld, B.J.S. (author)Designing and modelling foundation structures crosses two engineering disciplines. The structural engineer who designs the structure and the geotechnical engineer who determines the bearing capacity of the soil. When modelling large shallow foundations, it is not always clear how to determine the stiffness of the soil and how it should be used...master thesis 2013

De Blaeij, T. (author)Monopiles are being used more extensively for offshore wind turbine foundation. Current guidelines on the construction of fixed offshore foundations still base the design of laterally loaded piles in sand on empirical data (p-y curves), originating from the oil and gas industry, from field tests executed in 1974 on 0.61 m diameter piles. However...master thesis 2013
