Hofland, Bas (author), Chen, X. (author), Altomare, Corrado (author), Oosterlo, P. (author)During the last decades, the spectral wave period <i>T</i><sub>m-1,0</sub> has become accepted as a characteristic wave period when describing the hydraulic attack on coastal structures, especially over shallow foreshores. In this study, we derive an empirical prediction formula for <i>T</i><sub>m-1,0</sub> on shallow to extremely shallow...journal article 2017

Biljecki, F. (author)The concept of level of detail (LOD) describes the content of 3D city models and it plays an essential role during their life cycle. On one hand it comes akin to the concepts of scale in cartography and LOD in computer graphics, on the other hand it is a standalone concept that requires attention. LOD has an influence on tendering and...doctoral thesis 2017

Cheraghi, Saeid (author), White, Donald J. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Bellefleur, Gilles (author), Craven, James A. (author), Roberts, Brian (author)Seismic reflection interferometry has recently been tested in a few resource-exploration applications. We have evaluated passive seismic interferometry results for data from the Aquistore CO<sub>2</sub> storage site, Saskatchewan, Canada, with the objective of testing the method's ability to image the subsurface geology and its potential for...journal article 2017

Jesus de Moraes, R. (author), Rodrigues, José R P (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Jansen, J.D. (author)An efficient multiscale (MS) gradient computation method for subsurface flow management and optimization is introduced. The general, algebraic framework allows for the calculation of gradients using both the Direct and Adjoint derivative methods. The framework also allows for the utilization of any MS formulation that can be algebraically...journal article 2017

Hoonhout, B.M. (author), de Vries, S. (author)Mega nourishments are intended to enhance growth and resilience of coastal dunes on medium to long time scales by stimulation of natural sediment transport processes. The growth and resilience of coastal dunes largely depends on the presence of a continuous supply of aeolian sediment. A recent example of a mega nourishment is the 21 Mm<sup>3<...journal article 2017

Hut, R.W. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Drost, N (author)The suggestions by Hutton et al. might not be enough to guarantee reproducible computational hydrology. Archiving software code and research data alone will not be enough. We add to the suggestion of Hutton et al. that hydrologists not only document their (computer) work, but that hydrologists use the latest best practices in designing...journal article 2017

Mulder, W.A. (author)The presence of topography poses a challenge for seismic modeling with finite-difference codes. The representation of topography by means of an air layer or vacuum often leads to a substantial loss of numerical accuracy. A suitable modification of the finite-difference weights near the free surface can decrease that error. An existing...journal article 2017

Bisagni, C. (author), Pigazzini, M. S. (author)Ditching, which is a controlled landing of an airplane on water, is an emergency condition to be investigated in order to improve the aircraft global crashworthiness. The complex hydrodynamic phenomena involved in ditching events are difficult to simulate and the accuracy of the results depends on the capability to reproduce the forces...journal article 2017

Flores, Raúl P. (author), Rijnsburger, S. (author), Horner-Devine, Alexander R. (author), Souza, Alejandro J. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author)We present measurements of along and across-shore sediment transport in a region of the Dutch coast 10 km north of the Rhine River mouth. This section of the coast is characterized by strong vertical density stratification because it is within the midfield region of the Rhine region of freshwater influence, where processes typical of the far...journal article 2017

Kikas, Riivo (author), Gousios, G. (author), Dumas, Marlon (author), Pfahl, Dietmar (author)Software developers often include available open-source software packages into their projects to minimize redundant effort. However, adding a package to a project can also introduce risks, which can propagate through multiple levels of dependencies. Currently, not much is known about the structure of open-source package ecosystems of popular...conference paper 2017
