De Fockert, A. (author), Graafland, T. (author), Paap, E. (author), Van der Plas, T. (author), Roubos, A. (author)The container yard of the port of Lirquen will reach its capacity in a few years and the container terminal has no landward expansion possibilities to meet the future demand of container throughput. The bulk terminal has a lack of berths, due to increased throughput and insufficient depth, but does have possibilities for landward expansion....student report 2005

Keulers, B. (author)Additional thesis - The exchange and transport of sediment between intertidal zone and backshore are subject of ongoing research in order to assess the dynamic behaviour of sandy coastal systems. How the sediment moves in the coastal system is relevant knowledge for e.g. the Dutch coastal nourishment programme. It is a scientific challenge to...student report 2017

Scheltes, M.P. (author), Oosterwegel, M. (author), Elzinga, L. (author), Levinson, M.A. (author), Alkema, S.H. (author)Ho Chi Minh City is flooded on a regular basis due to the lack of flood protection. Plans have been made to protect the city from flooding in the future and therefore a barrier is built at Phu Dinh. This barrier needs to fulfil three requirements. Firstly it should protect HCMC against a flood, as well resulting from tidal waves as from peak...student report 2016

Attema, Y.H. (author), Hendriks, H.C.M. (author)In 2013 and 2014, a hydrodynamic model for the Ayeyarwady delta was developed. This delta is located in the Southwestern part of Myanmar. Because it is prone to flooding and is also affected by salt intrusion during periods of low river discharge, it was chosen to develop a hydrodynamic model to gain more insight into the aforementioned...student report 2014

Van Bemmelen, C.W.T. (author)The applicability of the open source model XBeach was tested for pocket beaches in this paper. First, schematized model setups have been used to assess the performance of XBeach qualitatively. It was found that adjustments of the initial bed were required to obtain the expected hydrodynamic conditions. The default sediment advection calibration...student report 2017

de Ridder, M.P. (author)A 2Dnumericalmodel is set-up for the tidal bore in the Sittaung River. This model is used to analyse the effect of the bottom friction, bathymetry, tidal range and river discharge on the propagation of the tidal bore. To obtain information about the tidal bore the Sittaung River is visited two times. During the second visit, depth measurements...student report 2017

Den Bieman, J. (author), Van den Koppel, M. (author), Van Velzen, G. (author), Verbruggen, W. (author)One of the branches of the Paraná delta is the Paraná de las Palmas River. This branch doesn’t have the biggest discharge but has the most navigation. The situation in the Paraná de las Palmas isn’t without problems though; the river banks show erosion over the whole length of the branch. This erosion has been investigated by the following...student report 2010
