Baar, A.W. (author), Weisscher, S.A.H. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Kleinhans, MG (author)We experimentally tested the effect of a largerange in helical flow intensity and sedimentmobility on equilibrium transverse slopes,which resulted in a function for slope effectsdepending on bed state and sedimenttransport mode, that deviates from linearfunctions with sediment mobility in literature...abstract 2017

Le, T.B. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Recently, engineers propose longitudinal training walls to replace traditional transverse groynes. This new intervention is expected to maintain a navigation route under low flow conditions while not hampering flow conveyance of the river channel. Navigation occurs mainly in low-land river channels where ...abstract 2017

Bonilla Porras, J.A. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Although many studies regarding bank erosion and accretion can be found in the literature, it is not common to find works studying the interaction between opposite banks. Some existing morphodynamic models describe bank erosion as an event that depends on near-bank flow and bed topography, as well as on...abstract 2017

Tas, S.A.J. (author), Gijón Mancheño, A. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)In this paper the typical hydrodynamics on mangrove-mud coasts are studied. Worldwide, these coasts experience serious erosion problems, and while the importance of mangrove ecosystems is becoming widely recognised, mangrove restoration projects frequently fail due to poor understanding of the system, especially the hydrodynamics. Therefore, a...abstract 2017

Gijón Mancheño, A. (author), Tas, S.A.J. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)During recent decades, mangrove forests have experienced severe degradation due to unsustainable land use. Restoration of mangrove ecosystems requires the recovery of their habitat, considering ecology, hydrology, hydrodynamics, and sediment transport. In a first pilot in 2013, brushwood dams were built on the eroding coast of Demak, Indonesia,...abstract 2017

Maljaars, J.M. (author), Labeur, R.J. (author), Möller, M. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)In this work the feasibility of a numerical wave tank using a hybrid particle-mesh method is investigated. Based on the Fluid Implicit Particle Method (FLIP) a generic formulation for the hybrid method is presented for incompressible multi-phase flows involving large density jumps and wave generating boundaries. The performance of the method...journal article 2017

Wetser, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Penning, E. (author), Duro, G. (author), Yuan, J. (author)Over the past centuries natural river banks have been transformed into banks with artificial revetments or sheet piles to protect them from erosion. Important river features for flora and fauna have disappeared and the ecological quality of the river reduced dramatically. Recently, the importance of the ecological function of rivers has been...abstract 2017

van Linge, B.W. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), van Vuren, S. (author), Rongen, G.W.F. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)With the intention to reduce the negative effects of ongoing bed erosion, as well as to improve several other river functions such as protection against floods, provision of safe and efficient navigation and ecology, a ‘pilot project longitudinal training dams’ was initiated. The training dams have recently...conference paper 2017

Jammers, S.M.M. (author), Paarlberg, AJ (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Longitudinal training dams (LTDs) are constructed in the River Waal in the Netherlands. They are aligned parallel to the river shore and divide the river into a main and side channel. The existing groynes are removed yielding more discharge capacity at high flows. The side channel creates possibly a ...abstract 2017

Vargas Luna, A. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Anders, Niels (author), Hoitink, Antonius J.F. (author), Keesstra, Saskia D. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)The prediction of the morphological evolution of renaturalized streams is important for the success of restoration projects. Riparian vegetation is a key component of the riverine landscape and is therefore essential for the natural rehabilitation of rivers. This complicates the design of morphological interventions, since riparian vegetation...journal article 2018

Baar, A.W. (author), de Smit, Jaco (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Kleinhans, Maarten G. (author)Large-scale morphology, in particular meander bend depth, bar dimensions, and bifurcation dynamics, are greatly affected by the deflection of sediment transport on transverse bed slopes due to gravity and by secondary flows. Overestimating the transverse bed slope effect in morphodynamic models leads to flattening of the morphology, while...journal article 2018

Le, T.B. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)To maintain a navigable channel and improve high-flow conveyance, engineers have recently proposed constructing longitudinal training walls as an alternative to the traditional transverse groynes. However, previous work has shown that the system of parallel channels created by a longitudinal training wall might be unstable in rivers with...journal article 2018

Le, T.B. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Rivers have been trained for centuries by channel narrowing and straightening. This caused important damages to their ecosystems, particularly around the bank areas. We analyse here the possibility to train rivers in a new way by subdividing their channel in main and ecological channel with a longitudinal training wall. The effectiveness of...journal article 2018

Broekema, Y.B. (author), Labeur, R.J. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Scour in the vicinity of a hydraulic structure may compromise its geotechnical stability or that of nearby structures. Much fundamental research has been dedicated to the understanding and prediction of these processes, in order to enable the efficient design of mitigation measures. While most of these efforts consider laterally uniform flows,...journal article 2018

Observations show that besides the magnitude, the frequency and duration of streamflow oscillations might also be important for the river channel formation. In addition, the river morphology appears influenced by both size and degree of uniformity of the...journal article 2018

Duro, G. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Kleinhans, Maarten (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)In recent years, many riverbanks in Europe had their protections removed to reactivate natural erosion processes and improve riparian habitats. Yet, other river functions may be affected, such as navigation and flood conveyance. The quantification and prediction of erosion rates and volumes is then relevant to manage and control the integrity...journal article 2018

Truong Hong, S. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Vegetation in general and mangrove, in particular, plays a significant role in the protection of the coastal and estuarine regions from erosion. In particular, estuarine mangrove forests can effciently reduce the impact of a strong along-bank flow during high tides and high river discharge, creating shelter regions for the development of the...journal article 2018
