Flood defense will have to be strengthened all over the world as sea level rise poses great challenges for the safety of coastal settlements. Strengthening traditional hard flood defenses is becoming increasingly more difficult due to limited space in the coastal zone and large costs inflicted with renovation. Adaptive ‘soft solutions’ pose an...

Refined numerical wave energy resource assessments are required to reduce uncertainties in the evaluation of available power and energy production. However, to restrict the computational cost, a great part of wave hindcast simulations cover a limited time range (below ten years) or rely on coarse spatial resolutions while routinely ignoring tide...

This study presents 62 years of hindcast wave climate data for the south coast of Sweden from 1959–2021. The 100-km-long coast consists mainly of sandy beaches and eroding bluffs interrupted by headlands and harbours alongshore, making it sensitive to variations in incoming wave direction. A SWAN wave model of the Baltic Sea, extending from...

In the last century, approximately 100,000 people lost their lives during a flood event and over 1.4 billion people were affected. As the population and economic activities grow in flood-prone areas and the frequencies and intensities of flood events increase due to climate change, damage due to flooding is expected to increase. To limit and...

A high resolution partitioned wave hindcast of New Zealand waters is presented together with validation results against 9 buoy deployments that are representative of the local wave climate. An analysis of integrated and partitioned mean wave parameters was conducted together with a study of the correlation between wave height anomalies and...

The interaction between storm surges and inland run-off has been gaining increasing attention recently, as they have the potential to result in compound floods. In Europe, several flood events of this type have been recorded in the past century in Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy and UK. First projections of compound flood hazard under climate...

Hindcasting of past levee failures enhances insights in the performance and vulnerability of levees. The scarcity of field evidence makes identifying the cause(s) of failure difficult. Under these circumstances, multiple scenarios and model choices are possible to characterise and to model the failure. This paper shows how probabilistic...

Forensic analysis of past failures is valuable to improve our understanding of levee behavior. In this article a new systematic approach of forensic analysis for levee failures is proposed and applied to the Breitenhagen levee breach that occurred along the river Saale in Germany in 2013. The purpose of this study is to identify the cause of the...

Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) is a contractor that transports and installs large structures at sea. For this purpose, HMC operates four crane vessels of which three are semi-submersibles (Thialf, Balder and Hermod) and one is a mono hull (Aegir). The Balder is equipped with a J-lay tower for pipelay in deep water. During transits, when the...

We hindcast a 110 year period (1860-1970) of morphodynamic behavior of the Western Scheldt estuary by means of a 2-D, high-resolution, process-based model and compare results to a historically unique bathymetric data set. Initially, the model skill decreases for a few decades. Against common perception, the model skill increases after that to...

One of the unresolved issues regarding the performance of SWAN in the Wadden Sea is the penetration of North Sea waves into the tidal inlet systems. For accurate modelling of the complex processes in these areas, the underlying water level and current fields should be of good quality. The hydrodynamic modelling to generate water level and...

Results of hindcast studies with the SWAN wave model in the Amelander Zeegat, the Oosterschelde estuary and the Slotermeer were analyzed to detect the cause of under-prediction of low-frequency wave energy in the coastal zone, the causes of prediction errors in the presence of currents and the underprediction of wave heights In depth-limited...

This report concerns the hindcast study of the SWAN wave model for two storms in the inlet of the Eastern Scheldt, including the selection of the storms. The aim of the study is the performance of SWAN with respect to the wave penetration of combined swell and wind sea into the inlet.

For two historical storms the water levels and currents in the Wadden Sea were simulated using the so-called model-train of Rijkswaterstaat. The first storm of 1 Nov. 2006 generated exceptionally high water levels in the Eems-Dollard estuary. The second storm of 18 Jan. 2007 was also scaled up to represent a 1 in 4000 year design storm. In...
