Submerged breakwater influence on beach hydrodynamics: A 2DV approach

This master's thesis is written using data from experiments performed in the framework of the Human Capital and Mobility program of the European Union. Six universities work together to solve some of the unknown aspects related to the use of submerged breakwaters along sandy coasts. In this study data from 2DV tests carried out in Delft and...

Pilot study concerning the behaviour of coastal supply on the Dutch Wadden Island of Terschelling

In 1993 an artificial sand nourishment was carried out at the coast of Terschelling. The total amount of supply was deposited in a trough between two breaker bars, up to a level of about NAP -5m. The present report gives a prediction of the development of the coast in the next 10 years. For this, a mathematical model has been used, in which the...

Sediment concentrations and Sediment transport in case of Irregular breaking waves

Coastal changes occur mostly as a result of changes in sediment transport along the coast. If at cross-section A, the sediment transport is for any reason larger (or smaller) than at cross-section B, accretion (or erosion) will take place in between the two cross-sections. For prediction of coast-lines in the future, the prediction of the net...

Een model voor de benadering van het jaarlijks langstransport

Bij het doen van voorspellingen op lange termijn met morfologische modellen heeft men te maken met sterk variërende randvoorwaarden (b.v. golfhoogte, getij stroming). Als men bijvoorbeeld het jaarlijkse sedimenttransport in een gebied langs de kust wil bepalen moeten eigenlijk al deze variaties van de randvoorwaarden, in de berekeningen worden...
