Overtopping failure in levees

The aim of this research is to provide amathematical model that describes the physics in a levee when waves are overtopping a flood embankment. Ideally, this numerical simulation can replace empirical methods based on overtopping simulations and provide more insight into the physical process of an overtopping flow on a levee. This could prove to...

Determination of water speeds of ships

The aim of this research is to evaluate two different current correction methods: the "Iterative" Method, that has (partly) replaced the traditional "Mean of means"Method and is currently in use, and the "Direct"Method, amore fundamental and mathematical approach to the problem. These methods were both developed to determine the speed of a ship...
