Numerical harbour simulations with the model TRIWAQ - NH: With an emphasize on the present reflective properties

The focus is on the numerical flow model TRIWAQ. It is developed as a hydrostatic free-surface flow model, which is currently being used by the KNMI and Rijkswaterstaat for predictions of water levels in the North Sea and Dutch estuaries. TRIWAQ has successfully been extended to the realm of nonhydrostatic modeling, TRIWAQ-NH, this allows the...

Non-hydrostatic modelling of large scale tsunamis

The Indian Ocean Tsunami has once again revived the discussion in the tsunami modelling community if the non-linear shallow water equations are a valid model for the propagation of tsunamis. It is suggested that the mechanism of frequency dispersion which is absent in these equations might be important in the correct modelling of large scale...

Non-hydrostatic numerical modeling of hydraulic jump over a weir

Weir is the construction widely used in hydraulic engineering. It is very important to investigate the behaviors of the flows over a weir. In general when water streams over a weir it behaves various flow patterns according to different flow conditions. Different flow patterns results in different inference on the water level profile and the...
