Vuik, V. (author)Flood risk reduction in coastal areas is traditionally approached from a conventional engineering perspective, where dikes and dams are built to withstand the forces of tides, surges and waves. Recently, a nature-based approach to flood risk reduction is increasingly promoted, in which the benefits of coastal ecosystems for reducing the impact...doctoral thesis 2019

Vuik, A. (author)Nowadays, quantum computers, a promising direction of computer hardware development, suffer too much from errors caused by disturbance of qubits to compete with the state-of-the-art classical computers. Topological phases in condensed matter physics offer a solution: the topological edge states emerging in such a phase are spatially separated by...doctoral thesis 2018

Vuik, M.J. (author)This dissertation addresses practical use of multiwavelets and outlier detection for troubled-cell indication for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. For smooth solutions, the DG approximation converges to the exact solution with a high order of accuracy. However, problems may arise when shock waves or discontinuities appear: non-physical...doctoral thesis 2017
