van den Bosch, B.A.P. (author)Land reclamations in deltaric areas provide space to meet the demand for a safe place to live and work. Sand, a traditional filling material in some locations is becoming scarcer. An alternative filling material is mud. Mud consists of clay, silt, sand, organic material, water and gas. Therefore, it is a versatile material and difficult to...master thesis 2016

Jimenez Puente, I. (author)It is estimated that 25% of the remaining oil and gas reserves worldwide are held in Arctic regions. The combined effects of a global resource depletion, climate change and technological progress, mean that this natural resource area is now increasingly interesting and commercially attractive. However, numerous challenges are present when it...master thesis 2013

Kamath, A.M. (author)Non-breaking wave forces on a cylindrical pile are calculated numerically by solving the three-dimensional Navier Stokes equations in the numerical wave tank of REEF3D. Initially, the numerical wave tank is validated by comparison of the numerical results with the analytical solutions for varying grid density, time step size, numerical beach...master thesis 2012

Dirgantara, T.A.T. (author)Clean Green energy is being desired all over the globe. It gives cleaner world and healthier environment to live. Most of the green energy resources such as tidal and wave are freely available in large amount and also sustainable. On the other hand, the energy demand is increasing along with population growth. Therefore, researchers are...master thesis 2012

Hanegan, K.C. (author)In this study, a process-based, depth-averaged Delft3D hydrodynamic and morphologic model of the Wax Lake Delta in Atchafalaya Bay, Louisiana was developed to simulate a five year period of delta development. The purpose of this modeling effort was to test the ability of process-based modeling tools to successfully simulate typical delta...master thesis 2011

Keen, A.S. (author)Mobile bed scaling (for scales smaller than 1:1) does not allow for ideal similarity between all nondimensional parameters. This leads to an exaggerated presence of one process over another or the development of scale effects. The complexity of the surf zone makes it especially difficult to separate and quantify the effect of sediment scaling on...master thesis 2011

Geldenhuys, M.A. (author)Research done by the IPCC working groups and other organizations has sparked global concern over the possible impacts of climate change and corresponding sea level rise upon coastal communities. In reaction global studies were done (Nicholls et al., 2008, Hanson et al., 2011) to assess the vulnerability of coastal regions. However, most of these...master thesis 2011

Pomeroy, A.W.M. (author)Reef systems have been estimated to exist along approximately 80% of the world’s coastlines with living coral reefs, relic limestone platforms and submerged rock formations being the most common types observed. The processes of wave breaking on a reef crest, setup on a reef and flow over and within a lagoon, have been the primary focus of...master thesis 2011

Gong, W. (author)Optimal design of support structure including foundation and turbine tower is among the most critical challenges for offshore wind turbine. With development of offshore wind industry heading for deeper ocean areas, new support structural concept such as a full lattice tower could be proven to be more advantageous than others when consideration...master thesis 2011

Chen, X. (author)There is a chance that storm surges occurring in coastal areas cause overtopping over wide crested dikes. The overtopping water results in a hydrodynamic load on the structures built on top of the crest. This is for example the case at the Belgian coast where houses and hotels are constructed on top of the dike crest. In this study, physical...master thesis 2011

Ji, W. (author)Analytical and numerical analysis of laboratory-scale shear box experiments on ice rubble have been performed. The experiments were done at NTNU in 2010 (Serré et al., 2011 and Repetto and Høyland, 2011). Three phases in the force-time history of the tests were identified (similar to what Serré et al., 2011 did). The first phase lasted about 2...master thesis 2011

Guzman Mardones, C.A. (author)Access channels (entrance channels) to ports are a relevant part of port facilities, and they have a strong influence on the port operations as well. However, little information is available about their analysis and design regarding the wave interaction with access channels. This study is focused on the interaction of waves with entrance...master thesis 2011

De Siqueira, B.V.P. (author)Coastal lagoons are shallow coastal water bodies separated from the ocean by a barrier and they support a range of natural services that are highly valued by society, including but not limited to fisheries productivity, storm protection, and tourism. Songkhla lagoon is the largest lagoonal water resource in Thailand and Southeast Asia. The...master thesis 2011

Gomez Castro, C. (author)Natural and man made embayment beaches are a common feature along the Catalan coast. Many of these embayment beaches have experience changes in shoreline position jeopardizing the protective and recreational functions of the beach. Therefore, an understanding of the morphological variability of this system is needed in order to facilitate an...master thesis 2011

Zhou, Z. (author)As a good rule of thumb, one-line models have been in use for a wide range of coastal projects for the past 30 years to predict the beach morphological change and make the appropriate shoreline management plans. Though applied to many coastal sites with certain success, these models are still under further development so as to achieve better...master thesis 2011

Achete, F.M. (author)The objective of this work is the understanding of the development and possible impacts of the Sand Engine via a possible analogy with the Bornrif morphodynamics. The Sand Engine is the pilot project for a new nourishment technology (the mega nourishment), which consists of nourishing a huge amount of sand at once and let the nature spread it....master thesis 2011

Musch, O.F.R. (author)Accelerating rising sea levels, aging coastal defences, and an ever increasing demand for land along the coast, require imminent, reactive, as well as long-term, anticipatory, adaptation by society. One such, relatively novel adaptation strategy, is managed realignment. Managed realignment site selection being non-standardised, this has, to date...master thesis 2011

Nguyen, T.T. (author)Sea level is rising across the UK and this is expected to accelerate and to increase coastal flood risk over the 21st century. Southampton is one of the busiest and most important national ports, but coastal flooding has not been studied extensively before. This dissertation aims to investigate the likelihood of coastal flooding in Southampton...master thesis 2011
