Su, M. (author)A large proportion of the world population lives in the coastal zone, which is facing a variety of natural and anthropogenic impacts on its evolution. A better understanding of coastal evolution can be obtained when it is based on an accurate knowledge of coastal dynamics. This thesis aims to study the long-term (hundreds of years) coastal...doctoral thesis 2016

Guo, L.C. (author)Estuarine morphodynamics are of broad importance to estuaries’ functions related to navigation, human settlement and ecosystems. Inspired by the Yangtze River estuary (YRE), this study aims to explore the impact of river discharge, tides and their interaction on long-term estuarine morphodynamics. Use is made of 1D and 2D process-based models....doctoral thesis 2014

De Vet, P.L.M. (author)The effective thickness of the bedload layer over a river bed can be schematised as the total volume of bedload sediment that is in transport, divided by the surface. In practice, this layer is considered to have a constant thickness over time. Main question of this thesis is whether this assumption is valid. By analyzing the mass balance, it is...bachelor thesis 2012

Hasselaar, R.W. (author)The numerical flow model Delft3D simulates the flow of water and movement of submerged sediment by means of solving simplified equations that describe these processes. Because of these simplifications, parameterizations are introduced. These parameters represent amongst others the processes that take place on scales smaller than the spacing of...master thesis 2012

Scheel, F. (author)Tidal inlet systems, as found in the Dutch Wadden Sea, often feature both sand and mud. Due to differences in sediment properties, sand and mud particles respond different to identical forcing conditions, like short waves and tidal currents. Because of this, sand and mud can get transported to different locations. This process is referred to by...master thesis 2012
