Mil Homens, J.P. (author), Ranasinghe, R.W.M.R.J.B. (author), Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Longshore sediment transport (LST) is one of the main drivers of beach morphology. Bulk LST formulas are routinely used in coastal management/engineering studies to assess LST rates and gradients. However, there is still great uncertainty in LST estimation with these bulk formulas. This uncertainty may have two sources: 1) experimental errors in...conference paper 2013

(author), Henrotte, J. (author), Smolders, T. (author), Dekker, F. (author), Godsey, E. (author)In order to conceive any realistic plan for post-Katrina island restoration, it is necessary to understand the physical processes that move sand along the littoral drift zone off the coast of Mississippi. This littoral zone influences the character of the Mississippi barrier islands as they exist in an ever changing cycle. To help in this...conference paper 2012

Mil-Homens, J.P. (author), Ranasinghe, R.W.M.R.J.B. (author), Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Longshore sediment transport (LST) is one of the main drivers of beach morphology. Bulk LST formulas are routinely used in coastal management/engineering studies to assess LST rates and gradients. Over 50 years of research has resulted in several bulk LST formulas that have been tested with varying levels of rigor. In this study, the predictive...conference paper 2012

Van Rooijen, A. (author), Reniers, A. (author), Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Blenkinsopp, C. (author), McCall, R. (author)A one-dimensional hydrostatic version of the XBeach model (Roelvink et al., 2009) is applied to hindcast swash morphodynamics measured during an accretive, and an erosive tide at Le Truc Vert beach (France) in early spring 2008 (Masselink et. al, 2009; Blenkinsopp et al., 2011). Swash hydrodynamics are solved by applying the nonlinear shallow...conference paper 2012

Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author), Van Dongeren, A.R. (author), McCall, R. (author), Reniers, A. (author)The effect of the longshore dimension on dune erosion is examined numerically with a 2DH process based model XBeach. Exploratory simulations are presented to examine longshore effects due to directionally spread waves, longshore variation in topography and longshore variation in bathymetry. The simulations reveal that alongshore sediment...conference paper 2011

Van Thiel de Vries, J.S.M. (author)Large parts of The Netherlands are protected from flooding by a narrow strip of sandy beaches and dunes. The aim of this thesis is to extend the existing knowledge of dune erosion during storm surges as it occurs along the Dutch coast. The thesis discusses: A large scale dune erosion experiment to obtain better insight in near dune...doctoral thesis 2009
