Harteveld, Maurice (author)This article aims to extent the notion of port-cities and counter the mainstream narrative that port and city, in cases like Rotterdam, have become disunited by reviewing its public spaces in their unique port-city characteristics. These characteristics can be found by systematic approaching and describing public spaces as biographies of place,...journal article 2021

Farooq, U. (author), Heuer, Sönke (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author), Dransfeld, C.A. (author)Epoxies are inherently brittle materials and to overcome this brittleness, a second microphase (i.e., thermoplastic) is typically added. This modification of epoxy resin using thermoplastics results in reaction-induced phase separating morphologies in the micrometer range. In this study, the influence of the curing history, beyond phase...journal article 2021

Zhu, C. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Tian, Bo (author), Wang, Xianye (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The morphology of the Yangtze Estuary has changed substantially at decadal time scales in response to natural processes, local human interference and reduced sediment supply. Due to its high sediment load, the morphodynamic response time of the estuary is short, providing a valuable semi-natural system to evaluate large-scale estuarine...journal article 2019

van der Stok-Nienhuis, J. (author), Robbiola, Luc (author), Giuliani, Roberta (author), Joosten, Ineke (author), Huisman, Hans (author), van Os, Bertil (author), Sietsma, J. (author)Curly malachite (CM) is found as a green cupric carbonate hydroxide corrosion product on archaeological bronze, mostly on artefacts retrieved from graves. In this paper, a morphological characterization approach is proposed, enabling the investigation of the formation process of CM. It is suggested that curly malachite precipitates from an...journal article 2016

Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author), Farooq, U. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Dransfeld, C.A. (author)Toughness of epoxies is commonly improved by adding thermoplastic phases, which is achieved through dissolution and phase separation at the microscale. However, little is known about the synergistic effects of toughening phases on multiple scales. Therefore, here, we study the toughening of epoxies with layered poly(ether imide) (PEI) structures...journal article 2023

Barneveld, H.J. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Chavarrías, V. (author), Hoitink, A.J.F. (author)Sustainable river management often requires long-term morphological simulations. As the future is unknown, uncertainty needs to be accounted for, which may require probabilistic simulations covering a large parameter domain. Even for one-dimensional models, simulation times can be long. One of the acceleration strategies is simplification of...journal article 2024

Townend, I (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Zhou, Z. (author)Whilst much attention has been given to models that describe wave, tide and sediment transport processes in sufficient detail to determine the local changes in bed level over a relatively detailed representation of the bathymetry, far less attention has been given to models that consider the problem at a much larger scale (e.g. that of...journal article 2016

(author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Dredging of navigation channels in estuaries affects estuarine morphology and ecosystems. In the Western Scheldt, a two-channel estuary in the Netherlands, the navigation channel is deepened and the sediment is relocated to other parts of the estuary. We analyzed the response of an intertidal flat to sediment disposals in its adjacent channel...journal article 2020

van der Hoeven, F.D. (author), Wandl, Alex (author)Climate scientists forecast that heat waves will occur more often in the Netherlands in the coming decades. The Hotterdam study accordingly measured urban heat and modelled the surface energy balance in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. It identified in detail the city’s social, morphological, and land-use dimensions using a geographic information...journal article 2018

(author)The human nose is a complex organ that shows large morphological variations and has many important functions. However, the relation between shape and function is not yet fully understood. In this work, we present a high quality statistical shape model of the human nose based on clinical CT data of 46 patients. A technique based on cylindrical...journal article 2018

(author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Estuarine intertidal areas are shaped by combined astronomical and meteorological forces. This paper reveals the relative importance of tide, surge, wind, and waves for the flow and sediment transport on large intertidal shoals. Results of an intensive field campaign have been used to validate a numerical model of the Roggenplaat intertidal...journal article 2018

Kai, C. (author)Coastal zones which are known as the interface between continents and oceans are vital and important to human beings because a majority of the world's population live in such zones (Nelson, 2007). Coastal systems are among the most dynamic and energetic environments on earth and they are continuously changing because of the dynamic interaction...report 2009

Hoffmans, G.J.C.M. (author)The general purpose of this research project is to model mathematically the local scour downstream of a structure (2-D). The model has to simulate the development of the scour as a function of the time. Basically two models are necessary namely a flow model and a morphological model. The latter model has to describe the bed and suspended load...report 1988

Talmon, A.M. (author), De Graaff, J. (author)A suspended sediment transport experiment in a straight flume with a mobile bed is reported. The bed topography is non-horizontal. The flow is steady. Due to an obstruction in the entrance a steady bed oscillation is generated. The bed topography is measured by means of manual bed soundings (by Delft Hydraulics). Suspended sediment...report 1991

Modelling of Cohesive Sediment Transportation, Deposition and Resuspension in the Haringvliet Mouth.Qinghua, Y. (author)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...report 2006
