Jager, T. (author), Smoor, A.C. (author), Tiehatten, B.M.H. (author), Wester, F.E. (author)Iquique is an important city in the northern of Chile. For the coast of Iquique a seismic gap with a return period of 111 ± 33 years is present. Since the last big event in 1877 only 20 % of the accumulated seismic slip is released. The configuration of Iquique is such that a large future earthquake and subsequent tsunami would generate a...student report 2015

Peters, R.B.M. (author)The IH2VOF model can be used to simulate wave-structure interaction. This additional thesis aims to evaluate the performance of the IH2VOF model for determining the local hydraulic properties (flow velocities and water pressures) near the toe structure of a rubble mound breakwater. Firstly, the model is introduced and the appropriate...student report 2014

Everts, P.S. (author), Julianus, E.J.B. (author), Marijnissen, M. (author), Voorend, S.J.M. (author)At the southern coast of Sri Lanka a small fishery harbour is located in Hambantota. Soon after construction of the harbour in 2006 the harbour started silting up at various places. From that point onwards the harbour’s basin has been dredged multiple times, but the problem turned out to be structural. In addition breaking waves are encountered...student report 2014

Salas Pérez, M. (author)The main goal of this project is to verify the numerical model SWASH when dealing with overtopping prediction by comparison of full scale measurement results to results of numerical model testing. For that purpose, the harbour in Zeebrugge (Belgium) has been considered; there, several storm events have been measured in a rubble mound breakwater...student report 2014

Heineke, D. (author), Volbeda, E. (author), De Weerdt, B. (author), De Wit, F. (author)Due to frequently occurring storms, like hurricanes and cold fronts, the coasts around the Mexican port city Veracruz suffer from erosion. This is most severe at the beaches of Boca del Rio just south of the city of Veracruz. Here, small beaches can be found between large groynes. These groynes block the southward littoral drift significantly...student report 2014

Vrolijk, E.F. (author), Poelhekke, L. (author), Schlepers, M.H. (author), De Boer, G.G. (author)In the North of Cuba, the Oasis beach area is situated. The beach suffers from structural erosion and earlier measures to deal with this have not succeeded. In this project, a solution is offered to reach two goals: foremost, a beach improvement to the Oasis beach sector and second, a halt to the structural erosion in the sector in order to...student report 2014

Curto Balbela, V. (author)Breakwaters under construction are prone to undesired deformation because the breakwater core is not designed to withstand severe or moderate wave loads. The reshaping mechanisms for a complete (finished) breakwater have been comprehensively studied; however, few research studies have been undertaken to analyze the deformation mechanisms of the...student report 2014

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
