Van Baaren, P.F.J. (author)The dune erosion prediction method presently used in the safety assessment of the Dutch dune coast was developed for situations with wave periods up to 12 seconds. New insights predict that situations with wave periods larger than 12 seconds can be expected. Preliminary analyses of the potential influence of larger wave periods on dune erosion...master thesis 2007

Bosman, G. (author)Nowadays the protection of our country for high sea levels and heavy storms is daily news. The ComCoast project (COMbined functions in the COASTal defence zones) is originated by ten organisations out of five European countries bordering the North Sea coasts in order to develop innovative solutions for flood protection in coastal areas. Instead...master thesis 2007

Van Geer, P.F.C. (author)The present study considers long-term morphologic development of the inlets forming the Western Dutch Wadden Sea. This concerns analysis of field measurements carried out since closure of the Zuider Sea (1932) as well as an assessment of possible imporvements of long-term morphological prodictions made for this area using ASMITA. From field...master thesis 2007

Ammerlaan, P.R.M. (author)After Katrina flooded New Orleans, California was identified as the next area where such a major disaster could happen. Situated between the Sierra Nevada and coastal mountain ranges Californias Central Valley is characterized by its flatness and dominated by agriculture as well as large cities as Sacramento. The Sacramento River and San Joaquin...master thesis 2007

Burg, L. (author)Studies underscore the significant reserve potential of the Arctic region: an estimated 25 percent of potential oil and gas reserves, onshore and offshore, is believed to be located in the Northern Hemispheres Arctic region. Although these areas already have been under consideration for over 30 years, technical difficulties have put a threshold...master thesis 2007

Boon, M.J.J. (author)This project discusses the feasibility and effectiveness of emergency measures against river floods. The objective of the project is: To develop a method or system to temporarily increase the dike strength during flood wave conditions. Here, the dike strength in its broadest sense is meant. This means that besides the crest height also other...master thesis 2007

De Visser, M.M. (author)Environmental awareness and sustainable development have been popular themes over the last few years. To improve dikes along the estuaries in Zeeland (The Netherlands) where a high foreland with natural areas of salt marshes is present, alternatives to stone revetments are examined. From a natural and aesthetic point of view, a slope covered...master thesis 2007

Wierenga, J.N. (author)Door het uitmonden van verschillende rivieren in het IJsselmeer is er een permanente aanvoer van water. Een groot deel van het aangevoerde water wordt onder verval met spuisluizen in de Afsluitdijk afgevoerd. De capaciteit van deze spuisluizen is niet meer voldoende. Dit is het gevolg van groeiende pieken in de aanvoer van water naar het...master thesis 2007

Cui, H. (author)Weir is the construction widely used in hydraulic engineering. It is very important to investigate the behaviors of the flows over a weir. In general when water streams over a weir it behaves various flow patterns according to different flow conditions. Different flow patterns results in different inference on the water level profile and the...master thesis 2007

De Vries, S. (author)Wave pools are designed to mimic surfing conditions as they exist along coasts. The Liquid Time Wave Pool concept, invented by Greg Webber, suggests a new method for wave generation. Waves are generated by a hull which moves in a channel. These "ship waves" break on a slope creating surf. Key feature of the concept is to make ship waves surfable...master thesis 2007

Gerrits, W.A. (author)Since the container revolution in the mid-sixties and the scale increase it caused, seaports face changing technological developments and economic circumstances. Terminal operators and port authorities have to deal with an increasing number of uncertainties. Especially in container transport competition plays a major role. Containers have a...master thesis 2007

Dudok van Heel, D. (author)A feasibility study has been started with respect to the joint-free exectution of quay walls in high-performance concrete. This feasibility study has the purpose of looking for faster means of building quay walls. The use of high performance concrete is an excellent material for a faster execution of the superstructure of quay walls. The...master thesis 2007

De Boer, E. (author)Floods are a threat to millions of people who are living in lowlands. A lot of research is done about flood risk analysis. A general expression of flood risk is the probability of flooding times the consequences. This graduation research focuses on the probabilities of failure and leaves the consequences out of the comparison. The objective is...master thesis 2007

Lely, M.S. (author)Most estuarine, and some coastal, areas are characterised by large amounts of fine-grained cohesive and non-cohesive sediments. At sufficiently high concentrations, sediment transport in suspension may significantly influence the hydrodynamics. In sediment-laden flow with concentrations of approximately, stratification may occur due to a...master thesis 2007

Van Steeg, P. (author)In the framework of the ComCoast project, the concept of the Crest Drainage Dike has been studied regarding the reduction of wave overtopping. This study only focuses on the average wave overtopping discharge. The basic concept of the Crest Drainage Dike is a basin, integrated in the crest of the dike, that collects overtopping water and thus...master thesis 2007

Erdbrink, C.D. (author)At locations where two natural streams of different velocity come together, a mixing layer develops. In this free shear flow, the velocity difference between the two streams is gradually reduced through the exchange of lateral momentum. This involves different forms of turbulent phenomena. If the width of the flow domain is large compared to the...master thesis 2007

Swane, H.A.J. (author)This study investigates the possibility to build and operate a Tidal Power Plant (TPP) in Saemangeum in South Korea. The objective of the study is to investigate if a TPP would be technically possible and economically feasible for Saemangeum. This has resulted in a design for a Tidal Power Plant. All decisions were made taking into account...master thesis 2007

Ockeloen, W.J. (author)Thesis study into an alternative design for breakwaters made of granular materials like sand and quarry stone. In this design, the breakwater is constructed of a sand core and a layer of large stones directly on top of it, without the traditional filter layers in-between. The single layer of stones serves as one open filter layer that has to...master thesis 2007
