Performing data assimilation experiments with hydrodynamic models: A Java Sea case

Floods are a big problem for Jakarta; the capital of Indonesia is subsiding below mean sea level and floods will become more frequent. Flood protection and measures against subsidence are, therefore, of high importance to Jakarta’s government. One of the options they are studying is a great sea wall to regulate the water levels in Jakarta Bay....

Global tide model with DFlow-FM

This thesis is about the beginning of a global tide model in DFlow-FM, a project by Deltares. The first focus lay on finding the best grid that can be used for this model. We tried to grids, a rotated lat-lon grid and a squarely grid with local refinement. After calculating the RMS-value it was found that the local refined grid gave the best...
