The main goal of this study is to determe the relation between very oblique wave attack and overtopping, and to accordingly adjust the formulae for oblique wave attack. The required knowledge to be able to read and understand this report is of a Bachelor in civil engineering level. All around the world different types of structures are built to...

The Dutch department of Public Works had a problem regarding wave impacts on a beam in the Stevin outlet sluices, located in the Afsluitdijk. Wave impacts on this beam could also cause a peak pressure on the barrier gate, just behind the beam. The numerical program ComFLOW and physical scale experiments were used to predict the wave impacts for...

Part I: On the time scales of wave processes. To systematically improve the SWAN model a study on the wave physics in a tidal inlet was carried out. The third-generation SWAN model was used to compute the wave processes in a tidal inlet for storm conditions. The computed wave processes are propagation (shoaling, refraction and frequency shifting...

Sediment transport by waves in the direction of the waves in relatively shallow water. Het onderzoek naar zandtransport in meest algemene Zin kent al een ruime historie. In eerste instantie lag het accent hierbij op bestudering van het zandtransportverschijnsel onder invloed van een permanente stroom, zoals in rivieren en kanalen. Daarbij is in...

Aquatic vegetation, found in coastal waters and inter tidal areas, has important features for hydraulic engineering solutions, including sedimentation and stabilization of the bed. The increasing demand to predict wave hydrodynamics with aquatic vegetation asks for insight in the mechanisms and improved model methods. Striving to a more...

A filter can be applied to protect a bed against scour. Normally, these filters are geometrically closed, to prevent winnowing of the base material through the filter. However, geometrically closed filters are expensive and difficult to realize in the field. Geometrically open filters can serve as an alternative. Within an open filter, the pores...

Er zijn door o.a. Vetlinga en Schepers proeven gedaan in een laboratoriumgoot ter bepaling van zandtransport in de voortplantingsrichting van golven onder invloed van die golven. Doel van deze proeven is om neer inzicht te krijgen in de opwoeling van het bcdemmateriaal aan de bcdem en op die manier in het zandtransportmechanisme . In al die...

In conventional practice extreme design conditions for offshore structures are obtained very conservatively by extrapolating 3-hourly statistics of wind, wave and current data to a (say) 100 year return level, assuming that the 100-year extremes occur simultaneously and act in the same direction. This study involves an alternative approach...

In this thesis, the wave prediction model SWAN is validated on field data obtained from wave growth experiments that were done in Lake George, a shallow lake in Australia. SWAN, which is an acronym for Simulation of WAves in Nearshore areas, is a numerical model, developed at the University of Technology in Delft, to obtain estimates of wave...

This thesis focusses on the north-eastward shifting beach at Brouwersdam, which poses a problem for users and stakeholders of the beach. This trend is likely to continue in the foreseeable future and could result in a beach that can no longer fulfil its current functions, like recreation and tourism. Analysis of bathymetric data from the last...

Van der Wal, R.J. (author)
Especially during storms the coast-profile can change dramatically. During storms large waves cause high oscillatory water velocities near the bottom and the bed becomes plane and sheet flow becomes the dominant sediment transport mode. Because field measurements are difficult to perform in-situ, laboratory experiments concerning these processes...

BELUGA is a mathematical model which has been developed by Booij, Holthuijsen and Tolman in Delft University of Thechnology, to compute wave penetration into a harbour taking diffraction and reflection into consideration. The aim of the model is to provide an efficient numerical method for calculation of a wave field in a relatively large...

Sediment transport causes morphological changes of coastal areas, and it is one of the most important objects in coastal engineering study. Recently, various experiments have been performed to investigate the sediment transport mechanism under a combination of waves and currents and to find the underlying relationships among various parameters...

This is a study of the statistics of the ocean surface. The extreme surface elevation arising from waves, tides and storm surge is calculated by a novel approach that appears to eliminate many of the shortcomings of the convential practice. The proposed method works with the statistics of storms rather than three hour periods. A storm may be...

Pipeline covers on the seabed are called near-bed structures which are generally made of rip rap. The crest height of a near-bed structure is such that waves do not break over it. Near-bed structures are used to protect pipelines against fishing equipment, ship anchors, dropped objects and preventing destabilizing of the pipeline. There are two...

The final objective was to evaluate the stability of an offshore pipeline from a geotechnical point of view. On the Dutch part of the Continental Shelf pipelines are used for the transportation of oil and gas and utilities liRe glycol. The mean waterdepth on this part of the North Sea varies from 20-40 meters. As this region is a major fishing...

The erosion problem at the Senegambia area (The Gambia) is the subject of this thesis. The Senegambia area is the largest Tourism developed area which contributes significantly to the economy of The Gambia. In November 2003 Royal Haskoning has constructed a beach nourishment of 1,000,000 m3 as an erosion buffer with a lifetime of 10 to 15 years....

Deel II bevat het derde deelverslag uit maart 1988 waarin de dynamische golfbreker constructief wordt uitgewerkt. En waarin ook een kostenschatting van de dynamische golfbreker in het Ekofisk veld is gemaakt. De dynamische golfbreker is een golfdempingssysteem bestaande uit een groot aantal boeien die onder het zeeoppervlak verankerd worden, en...

In many coastal, engineering problems the sediment transport plays a part. A transport gradient causes accretion or erosion. Various models, such as that of Bijker, Engelund and Hansen (van de Graaff and van Overeem, 1979) and Nielsen (1985) are available to estimate the sediment transport rate if the hydraulic and environmental conditions (wave...
