Gensen, M.R.A. (author)Additional thesis - The Rhine river outflow has a major impact on the North Sea in front of the Dutch coast. It creates the Rhine ROFI (region of freshwater influence), a very complex three-dimensional volume of water with a relatively low salinity. Many researches have been conducted on this phenomenon. Now another complex factor is added: a...student report 2016

Tas, S. (author)Coastal protection in the Mekong Delta is of paramount importance. The low-lying coastal area has always been vulnerable to flooding by extreme events, but the coastal erosion and consequent land losses have increased to alarming magnitude in the most recent years. This MSc thesis aims to pro- vide insight in the optimal protection strategy for...master thesis 2016

Horsten, B.P.M. (author)The inundation height of the Tohoku tsunami of 2011 exceeded the design levels of many coastal barriers and several structures collapsed. Hundreds of seawalls and breakers are (planned to be) (re)built in the Tohoku district. There is much debate about the conventional tsunami walls and it is therefore suggested to consider alternative tsunami...master thesis 2016

Heineke, D.C. (author)In this thesis, the improvement and extension of the North Sea Storm Atlas is studied. The North Sea Storm Atlas is a new statistical approach for rapid flood forecasting in coastal areas. The method is based on a large database of potential weather scenarios. A detailed hydrodynamic numerical model (WAQUA-in-Simona/DCSM98) has been used to...master thesis 2016

Smorenburg, F.J. (author)The main goal in this research is to predict how translation waves evolve in a canal and what the consequences for the workability of water-borne construction equipment are. Translation waves arise due to filling and emptying of lock systems. In this research the measures to reduce effects of translation waves are control options related to the...master thesis 2016

van Druten, E.J. (author)Uncertainties about climate change and the energy market constitute a major challenge in designing a pumping station. To tackle this challenge, a robust design is needed, that performs satisfactory under a wide variety of future conditions. Multi-Objective Robust Simulation Optimization (MORSO) was applied, to create a robust re-design for...master thesis 2016

Wong, A.L.Z. (author)Wave climate in harbours determines for a significant part the efficiency of harbour operations. A good prediction of the hydrodynamics is therefore regarded as indispensable, which is often done by means of advanced numerical modelling. This study is a part of the Joint Industry Project XBeach. The goal of this research is to determine the...master thesis 2016

Van der Boog, C.G. (author)The strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) will decrease due to climate change. However, the magnitude of this decrease is still under debate, since uncertainties exist about the driving mechanisms of the sinking branch of AMOC. Conceptual models have shown that sinking is located at the lateral boundaries of the...master thesis 2016

Bruins, R.J. (author)To counteract relative sea level rise, Rijkswaterstaat nourishes the Dutch coast with sand. This sand spreads out over the shoreface zone, beach and dunes. One of the nourishment types is the shoreface nourishment. In this thesis, data of historical shoreface nourishments along the Dutch coast is analysed to find the factors that influence this...master thesis 2016

Smits, B.P. (author)Due to the removal of mangrove forests, the coastal zone of Demak district has suffered from severe erosion. One of the proposed solutions to restore the sediment balance and encourage mangrove re-establishment, is the construction of semi-permeable dams. This study aims to optimise the design of such structures. A 2DH site-specific model was...master thesis 2016
