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.

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...

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...

New south exit channel in Río de la Plata: A preliminary design study

The authorities of Argentina wish to improve the accessibility of the ports located in the Río de la Plata and upstream to the Paraná River. The water depth in the Río de la Plata is very shallow and did not suffice for vessels to navigate. Therefore navigation channels have been dredged. Ship drafts have increased in time and nowadays there is...
