Koosheh, Ali (author), Etemad-Shahidi, Amir (author), Cartwright, Nick (author), Tomlinson, Rodger (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author)Seawalls play a significant role in protecting coastal areas against wave attack and flooding. The accurate estimation of wave overtopping at seawalls is therefore crucial to adequately protect people and infrastructure in these regions. In this study, the mean wave overtopping rate at rubble mound seawalls was investigated through 140 small...journal article 2022

Zwart, S.D. (author)With the introduction of large commercial industrial laboratories at the end of the nineteenth century, many types of experiments were institutionalized that do not aim at testing hypotheses. This paper builds a typology of experiments in techno-science, by analysing more than two hundred and fifty real-life technical projects. This resulted in...journal article 2022

Marin, Nicoleta Mirela (author), Stanculescu, I.R. (author)Despite Acid Blue 113 (AB 113)’s extensive use and negative environmental impact, very few studies have focused on its efficient and environmentally friendly removal. This research aims the removal of AB 113 from environmental aqueous media and its consequent enzymatic biodegradation. A strongly basic anion exchange resin in Cl<sup>−</sup>...journal article 2021

Broekema, Y.B. (author)The Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier is an icon of Dutch hydraulic engineering. Downstream of the barrier, large local erosion pits (scour holes) have formed adjacent to the applied bed protection after its construction. It was expected during the design phase that these would develop, but both the magnitude of the scour hole depth as well as...doctoral thesis 2020

Phan Khanh, L. (author)This study explores the influence of the wave characteristics on the attenuation process of waves through coastal mangroves, which are threatened by the coastal mangrove squeeze phenomenon. Coastal mangrove squeeze is the phenomenon where coastal regions, even when sediment availability is sufficient, are eroding due to a lack of accommodation...doctoral thesis 2019

(author), Cappietti, Lorenzo (author)Overtopping bore impact forces on a dike mounted vertical wall were measured in similar large-scale (Froude length scale factor 1-to-4.3) and small-scale (Froude length scale factor 1-to-25) models. The differences due to scale effects were studied, by comparing the up-scaled force measurements from both models in prototype. It was noted that if...conference paper 2019

Vargas-Luna, Andrés (author), Duro, G. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)While the scientific community has long recognized that alluvial rivers are the product of interactions between flowing water and bed material transport, it is increasingly evident that vegetation mediates these interactions and influences the stream channel characteristics. In a novel set of mobile bed laboratory experiments with variable...journal article 2019

Vargas Luna, A. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Byishimo, P. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Alluvial rivers are shaped by sequences of water flows excavating their channels. Observations show that besides the magnitude, the frequency and duration of streamflow oscillations might also be important for the river channel formation. In addition, the river morphology appears influenced by both size and degree of uniformity of the...journal article 2018

(author), Shibayama, Tomoya (author)In the aftermath of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami Japanese tsunami protection philosophy now dictates that coastal defences should prevent the land that they protect from being flooded under a Level 1 event (with a return period in the order of about 100 years). To ascertain the overtopping mechanism and leeward inundation heights of...conference paper 2018

Le, T.B. (author), Crosato, A. (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)Rivers have been trained for centuries by channel narrowing and straightening. This caused important damages to their ecosystems, particularly around the bank areas. We analyse here the possibility to train rivers in a new way by subdividing their channel in main and ecological channel with a longitudinal training wall. The effectiveness of...journal article 2018

(author)This study presents an intercomparison of a SWAN and SWASH wave model and 3D laboratory experiments for an existing navigation channel towards a harbor. Results show that the spectral refraction model SWAN underestimates the wave conditions in the channel and at the lee side of the channel especially - for longer waves travelling under a small...conference paper 2014

(author)This paper describes the validation of the dune erosion model XBeach with laboratory measurement data of dune erosion in the presence of sea walls and revetments. Simulation results show that the essential dune set back processes are captured by the model and that the measurements at most locations are approximated quite well. Some aspects...conference paper 2012

Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In this paper, we show how the capacity of evacuation doors is affected by the evacuation door width, population composition, the presence of an open door and evacuation conditions. For this, laboratory experiments have been performed. Varying door opening widths showed that only the experiment with the widest door opening (275 cm) resulted in a...journal article 2010

Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)For the new version of the Dutch design guidelines for buildings, a threshold value for the capacity of emergency doors needs to be set. Innovative largescale laboratory experiments have been performed to investigate the capacity of emergency doors during evacuation conditions. This paper focuses in particular on the relation between capacity...journal article 2010
