van Wiechen, P.P.J. (author), Rutten, J. (author), Tissier, M.F.S. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Mieras, Ryan (author), Anarde, Katherine (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)Storm conditions can lead to excessive dune erosion with potential floods as a consequence. Barrier islands and low-lying countries protected by dunes are especially vulnerable to dune erosion. To properly assess the risks these areas face, a clear understanding of the physical processes during dune erosion is required. One of such processes is...conference paper 2023

Rutten, J. (author), Tissier, M.F.S. (author), Zhang, Xinyi (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), van Wiechen, P.P.J. (author), de Vries, S. (author), Rijnsdorp, D.P. (author), Mol, Jan Willem (author), Wilmink, Rinse (author)Infragravity (IG) waves are key drivers for coastal erosion and thus need to be properly included in process-based modelling of coastal hazards. Uncertainties remain regarding the offshore boundary conditions for these long waves. Typically, only bound IG waves are included at the boundary, which means that the possible contribution of free IG...conference paper 2023

Lasserre, Camila Gaido (author), Tissier, M.F.S. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Pearson, S.G. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author)Waves are important drivers for reef hydrodynamics, and therefore strongly contribute to flooding over reef-lined coasts. While high-frequency waves are largely dissipated when they propagate over the reef flat due to breaking and friction, low-frequency (LF) waves are generally able to reach the back-reef beach. There, they can reflect and form...conference paper 2020

Tissier, M.F.S. (author), Dekkers, Jochem (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Pearson, S.G. (author), van Dongeren, Ap (author)Several studies have reported the development of undular bores over fringing coral reefs (e.g, Gallagher, 1976; Nwogu and Demirbilek, 2010) but the importance of this phenomenon for reef hydrodynamics has never been studied. Yet, the transformation of a long wave (e.g., swell or infragravity wave) into an undular bore leads to significant...conference paper 2018

Oosterlo, P. (author), van der Meer, J.W. (author), Hofland, Bas (author), van Vledder, G.P. (author)This paper considers the Eems-Dollard estuary in the north of the Netherlands, which is part of the shallow shelf sea the Wadden Sea. This estuary is a highly complex area with tidal flats and deep channels and is characterised by an offshore directed wind, posing a challenge to wave prediction models. As little measurements are available, a...conference paper 2018

Van Vledder, G.P. (author), Zijlema, M. (author)The determination of wave conditions in partly sheltered areas is a challenging task for coastal engineers. Knowledge about these conditions is important for the design of coastal structures, the planning and operation of ports. Numerical models play an important role in the assessment of these conditions. Various types of models have been...conference paper 2014

(author)The South-Holland coast of the Netherlands undergoes the influence of the Rhine river plume released from the Rotterdam waterways. An experiment, STRAINS, was conducted to study the impact of the fresh water on the nearshore hydrodynamics and sand transport. As part of the experiment, an instrumented bottom frame measured the near-bed...conference paper 2014

Zijlema, M. (author)This paper presents the application of the open source non-hydrostatic wave-flow model SWASH to propagation of irregular waves in a barred surf zone, and the model results are discussed by comparing against an extensive laboratory data set. This study focus not only on wave transformation in the surf zone, but also on the numerical prediction of...conference paper 2014

(author)A hampering factor in the application of morphodynamic models is the potential excessive time needed to complete a simulation. One way to upscale a model run is the use of a morphological factor, or MORFAC. In this paper, we investigate the upper limit to the value of the MORFAC as a function of model geometry and timestep for a schematized case...conference paper 2014

Hai, T.L. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)Many dike failures have been ignited by damage due to erosion on the landward slopes. This paper investigates how grass covered slopes perform when being attacked by overtopping flow during storm surges. Based on observations during a number of simulator tests, damage is classified into three types 'head-cut', 'roll-up' and 'collapse' depending...conference paper 2014

Van den Bos, J. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author), Zijlema, M. (author), Mellink, B. (author)A more detailed understanding of porous flow inside a rubble-mound structure may have potential benefits in breakwater design. Numerical models are expected to be a useful additional research tool in this field, provided that their calculation results can be validated against measurements. This paper presents the results of a systematic effort...conference paper 2014

(author)The Sand Motor is a pilot project of a ‘mega-nourishment’ built in the Dutch coast in 2011. In order to understand which conditions reshape those mega-nourishments the influence of different types of forcing on the longshore sediment transport along the Sand Motor has been assessed in this paper using a process-based model. The use of numerical...conference paper 2014

Mooyaart, L.F. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), De Vries, P.A.L. (author), Van der Toorn, A. (author), Van Ledden, M. (author)In this study an overview of existing and planned storm surge barriers in the world is provided. A systematic analysis relates functional requirements (e.g. navigation and tidal exchange) to the main barrier characteristics (e.g. gate type, dimensions). Furthermore, as the costs of barriers are an important issue in the planning, available cost...conference paper 2014

Bosboom, J. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M.

Van de Sande, S.A.H. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Verheij, H.J. (author)Granular filters are used for protection against scour and erosion of base material. For a proper functioning it is necessary that at the interfaces between the filter structure, the subsoil and the water flowing above the filter structure no material will be transported. Different types of granular filters can be distinguished, this paper...conference paper 2014
