Environmental impact of flooding

Transfer of ocean modelling capability to two scientists of the National Institute of Oceanography of India

Two scientists from the National Institute of Oceanography of India have been trained to use the storm surge model DUCHESS and the wave model DOLPHIN. The results are published separately in two reports. This is the first of them.

Modelling of Cohesive Sediment Transportation, Deposition and Resuspension in the Haringvliet Mouth.

In the Dutch coastal zone, where the marine environment is characterized by shallow depths and highly energetic hydrodynamic conditions, the cohesive sediments, or mud, play an important role in the local morphology. For instance, mud deposits and high concentrations of suspended particulate matter (SPM) occur frequently, especially during...

Fully developed laminar flow in curved ducts

A mathematical model of steady, fully developed laminar flow in curved ducts is developed and used to derive a simplified computation method to be applied in another mathematical model predicting the flow in river bends. The laminar flow model is verified by comparing its results with analytical, numerical and experimental results reported in...

Use of models for river problems

In Chapter 2 of this report an overview is given on fluvial processes involved in the modelling discussed. Chapter 3 is concerned with scale models, whilst Chapter 4 deals with numerical models. The main problems treated are, firstly, modelling of the water movement, followed by sediment transport and morphology. Attention is also given to the...

Report on the ICES subsystem FLOWS

FLOWS is a recently developed ICES subsystem for applications in the field of hydraulic engineering. It is able to compute steady as well as unsteady flows in hydraulic networks of given dimensions. This means that is does not optimize any parameters describing the network. The network may be composed of open and closed channels, reservoirs and...

The Continued Development of the Third-generation Shallow Water Wave Model "SWAN"

This report briefly describes the development of the SWAN model compared to the previous authorized version, SWAN 40.01. The most recent version of SWAN, SWAN 40.11 Cycle III was released on the 26th of October 2000.
