Hoofdstroming contra menglaag: De invloed van een menglaag op het begin van bewegen van bodemmateriaal

Experimental research on the stability of bed material behind a backward facing step. Measured is the stability as a function of the local velocity and the local turbulence (turbulence intensity) due to the eddy formation.

Stability of block mats under flow conditions

Block mattresses or block mats are, nowadays, very commonly applied as protection in a large range of applications either against flow or wave loads. Specifically, this large range of applications contains offshore pipeline protection and stabilization, erosion and scour protection, protection of embankments and river banks (slope protection)....
