The dynamics of breaker bars: Considered as a diffusion process

In the scope of NOURTEC, an EEC project, efforts are made to simulate the behaviour of executed foreshore supplies with the aid of mathematical computer models. One of the models used are line models. On behalf of the DUT two studies contribute to NOURTEC line modelling. One concentrates on the longshore transport, and the present study focuses...

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...

Numeriek model voor de berekening van kustlijnveranderinen t.g.v. golven en getij

In samenwerking tussen Rijkswaterstaat afdeling Kustonderzoek van de Directie Waterhuishouding en Waterbeweging en de vakgroep Kustvlaterbouwkunde van de Technische Hogeschool in Delft is een serie rekenprogrammma's tot stand gekomen met het doel de veranderingen van kustvormen onder invloed van golfaanval te voorspellen. In 1975 heeft Casteleyn...
