Convex coastline induced rip currents at the Sand Engine

This study investigates the hydrodynamics at a convex coastline. The Sand Engine, a man made peninsula in the Netherlands, is used as a case scenario. It is hypothesized that a rip current can develop under certain wave conditions due to the change in coastline orientation. The main goal of this research is to obtain a better understanding of...
