Rip Current Characteristics at the Dutch Coast: Egmond aan Zee

Rip currents are narrow, seaward directed flows in the surf zone that can pose a serious threat to swimmers. This issue has received attention particularly on swell dominated coasts (such as the US, Australia, France and UK) where numerous field experiments have been undertaken. However, the threat of rip currents is less recognised on wind-sea...

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...

Onderzoek naar de veranderingen van het getijregiem in de Noordzee in de nabijheid van een groot kunstmatig eiland

In dit onderzoek worden enige mogelijke oplossingsmethoden voor twee dimensionale getijproblemen onderzocht.
