Modelling the impact of an offshore breakwater on the shore

This report is the result of a master thesis of the author, student at Delft University of Technology, faculty of Civil Engineering. The study was carried out at DELFT HYDRAULICS. In this report the effects of an offshore breakwater on the shore are investigated with the morphodynamic models DELFT2D-MOR and DELFT3D. These, respectively 2...

Profile development of a nourishment behind a submerged breakwater

A literature review is undertaken to understand the causes and the effects of the first process. Using the resulting equations, the UNIBEST-TC program is verified for the process of wave transmission over and through a submerged breakwater. Due to the fact that only impermeable breakwaters can be implemented in the program, deviations occur. For...
