Abstract: For a design purpose, this study mainly focuses on the channel resistance with different spatial distribution of the vegetation patches. Even under the same blockage factor, the total patch numbers in the channel, the distance between two vegetation patches both in the lateral and longitudinal direction as well as the length ratio of...

A literature survey which concerns a variety of wave generation and absorption methods was accomplished. The survey deals with the methods used for the experiment wave tank and numerical wave tank. Their implementations are also described very briefly. The numerical wave tank (NWT) was set up using the hybrid particle-mesh method with the...

Water scarcity is a severe problem that needs to be faced to avoid devastating effects in future generations (WWAP, 2017). Changes need to be made in the direction of a circular economy, where water is used wisely and wastewater is not an end product, but a resource mine (2030 WRG, 2015). To do so, there are available technologies with great...

To help to provide a desperately needed coastal protection strategy for the Mekong Delta in Vietnam this research looks into the possibilities for natural and sustainable coastal defence systems, including mangroves and active sediment management, such as a nourishment. The coastline of the Mekong Delta suffers from severe erosion and mangrove...

Speeding behaviour and driver distraction cause relative unsafety at highway work zones and amongst young male drivers. Adding further safety measures to the infrastructure has adverse effects as drivers may compensate for improved safety by driving faster. This study investigates whether in-car warnings on a head-up display (HUD) improve speed...

The applicability of the open source model XBeach was tested for pocket beaches in this paper. First, schematized model setups have been used to assess the performance of XBeach qualitatively. It was found that adjustments of the initial bed were required to obtain the expected hydrodynamic conditions. The default sediment advection calibration...

To research if the current practice of mandating individual flood risk assessments supports the goal of an optimal flood risk a case study is performed in this thesis. The flood risk in 2050 is assessed for the liquid bulk storage terminals of the company Vopak located in and near the Botlek area of Rotterdam harbor. The used flood risk...

The Netherlands is a low-lying country which is protected against floods by a flood protection system consisting of dikes, dunes and other hydraulic structures. The quality of the flood defense system should be of a sufficiently high level to guarantee protection against a flood. If a flood defense is unsafe, measurements are required to improve...

With the aim of investigating the perception of elderly on two types of automated vehicle (owned and shared) this thesis research questioned 123 elderly respondents on their intention of using AV in the (near) future and what the main reasons for (not) using these technologies are. By using behavioral modeling and a modified UTAUT model the main...

High temperature aquifer thermal energy storage (HT-ATES) is an energy efficient way to store heat in the subsurface, recovery efficiencies of 60-85% have been found in earlier research. The TU-Delft is step by step changing its policies into a more environmental friendly approach and a HT-ATES system could be the next step in this process by...

Additional thesis - Historical engineering works such as weirs, land reclamation and large scale deepening modified not only the local morphology and hydrodynamics but also tidal characteristics and sediment transport patterns in the tidal river Ems. The loss of intertidal area and ongoing deepening contribute to the flood dominance while...
