A new morphological schematization of the Western Scheldt estuary, The Netherlands

The present paper describes an analysis of the morphological integrityof the multiple channel system (MCS) of the Western Scheldt estuary. The tidal flats and surrounding ebb and flood channels form morphological cells, and the entire MCS can be schematized as a chain of such cells. The major ebb and flood channels have lost their one time...

The dynamics of microtidal lagoons and adjacent coasts

We have formulated an aggregated-scale behaviour-model for the interaction between a tidal basin and its adjacent coastal environment, without adopting a priory assumptions about their independent dynamic equilibrium behaviour. Necessarily so, the model combines observations and findings resuhing from analogical model applications. The model...

Experiments and computations on unsteady separating flow in an expanding flume

An unsteady, separating flow with a free surface was investigated with a physical model and a numerical model. To simulate tidal flow, the prescribed flow rate at the inflow boundary was a half-period sine function of time. Measurements of velocities and wave heights were conducted by using LDV and a wave-height meter in a straight open channel...

Measurements of turbulent flow in a suddenly expanding flume with a rough bottom

Some measurements were conducted in a suddenly expanding flume with a rough bottom. In the approach flume, the friction velocity was determined in three ways and the distributions of turbulence intensities and Reynolds stress in a vertical were obtained. The measurement of the separating turbulent flow comprised the distribution of depth...

Degree and Principal Eigenvectors in Complex Networks

The largest eigenvalue ? 1 of the adjacency matrix powerfully characterizes dynamic processes on networks, such as virus spread and synchronization. The minimization of the spectral radius by removing a set of links (or nodes) has been shown to be an NP-complete problem. So far, the best heuristic strategy is to remove links/nodes based on the...
