Bosman, G. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Hoffmans, G. (author), Schüttrumpf, H. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Recently, formulae have been derived for maximum flow depths and velocities on the crest and inner slope of dikes or levees at wave overtopping. Two independent physical model test programs in different wave flumes showed, however, a large difference in the results. The present paper clarifies this discrepancy and shows that the empirical...conference paper 2008

Gu, D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van de Ven, M. (author)PUR-revetment is a newly developed method for hydraulic application. Its structure is similar to that of open stone asphalt revetment, but the crushed stones are glued by polyurethane (PUR) instead of bitumen. To study the feasibility of applying PUR-revetment, a research based on the comparisons between PUR-revetment and open stone asphalt...journal article 2008

Tuan, T.Q. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Visser, P.J. (author)A new process-based approach is introduced for a more efficient computation of the overflow-induced growth of an erosional channel in a noncohesive homogeneous narrow landmass such as the breach growth in a sand-dike. The approach is easy to incorporate in a 1D/2DV morphodynamic model to compute the channel growth both vertically and laterally....journal article 2008

De Rover, R. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van den Berge, A. (author), Reedijk, B. (author)The effect of single layer interlocking armour unit breakage on the hydraulic armour layer stability and potential damage progression is addressed in this paper. A 2-dimensional scale model of a rubble mound breakwater with an armour layer consisting of Xbloc armour units was tested. The residual armour layer stability with broken units was...conference paper 2008

Viet, N.D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)In 2006 a Vietnamese Engineering Consultancy Company carried out a design study of a Naval Base at the location of the South of Doson Peninsula in Vietnam. A deterministic approach applied to the conceptual design of the breakwater system of the Naval Base resulted in a cross-section with a big armour layer and a rather low crest level. This...conference paper 2008

Tuan, T.Q. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)The present paper is concerned with the processes of coastal barrier breaching with focus on the breach initiation induced by high activity of tropical cyclones in the northern and central coast of Vietnam. The breach initiation by the response of coastal barriers during storm surges can also be a common practice encountered in many coasts...conference paper 2008

Viet, N.D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)An appropriate assignment of probabilities of failure to subsystems and components in a structural system can bring a minimum of costs and risk. In this paper, a method for economic optimisation of rubble mound breakwaters using pre-assigned probabilities of failure is presented. Application to a design case shows that the proposed method is...conference paper 2008

Lam, N.T. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Wang, Z.B. (author)Morphodynamics of a tidal inlet system on a micro-tidal coast in a tropical monsoon influenced region is modelled and discussed. Influences of river flow and wave climate on the inlet morphology are investigated with the aid of process-based state-of-the-art numerical models. Seasonal and episodic behaviour of the inlet system under the...conference paper 2008

Hoan, N.T. (author), Booij, R. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)The current research is aimed at evaluating the applicability of a numerical flow model to predict bed damage. First, an experimental study was carried out to get more inside into the relation between flow forces acting on a bed and the bed response (damage). The experiments were then used as the basis for the evaluation. Second, the flow was...conference paper 2008

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Jaspers Focks, D.J. (author), Algera, A. (author), Vu, M.A. (author)Vetiver grass is a sustainable and innovative solution for the protection of banks. It is shown that Vetiver grass is able to establish a full-stop of bank erosion caused by rapid drawdown. Therefore it provides us with strong indications that it is highly suitable as an anti-erosion measure. A combination of cohesive soil and Vetiver grass...conference paper 2008

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Van Vledder, G.P. (author), Eslami Arab, S. (author)Modern design formula for coastal structures (like rock stability formula and overtopping formula use wave parameters (H2% and Tm-1,0) which are not readily available from standard boundary condition wave data. For transforming values like Hs and Tp to the parameters used in the new formulas, often-fixed conversion factors are used. However,...conference paper 2008

(author)The velocity and turbulence distributions of decelerating open-channel flow in a gradual expansion were measured using LDV equipment. The results show that the logarithmic law can describe the mean velocity in the bottom region well while the Coles’ law can be applied to the outer region. The shear velocity can be determined both by the...conference paper 2007

Heineke, D. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)To assess the hydraulic performance of coastal structures - viz. wave run-up, overtopping and reflection - and to evaluate the stability of the armour layers, use is made of the dimensionless surf similarity parameter, as introduced by Battjes (1974). The front side slope of the structure and the wave steepness are combined in this parameter,...conference paper 2007

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Visser, P.J. (author)Along the North Sea coast, water levels are rising and waves are intensifying due to climate change. The best scientific evidence suggests that both phenomena are likely to accelerate over the coming decades. In some North Sea coastal areas also land is sinking and tidal heights and rates of erosion are increasing. This means that the risk of...conference paper 2007

Verhagen, H.J. (author)Dike design is a very traditional craft. Since many generations dikes have been constructed in our part of Europe. After each disaster the dike was rebuilt, and improved. The improvement was always based on the experiences of the previous flood. For example, for many years the design height of a dike was determined as the height of the highest...conference paper 2007
