Buwalda, Floris (author)In the past 15 years the field of general purpose computing on graphics processing units, or GPUs, has become well developed and the practice is becoming more mainstream. Computational demands of simulation software are continuously increasing. As such for many applications traditionally computed on the central processing unit the question...master thesis 2020

Zeng, Q. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Thill, C.H. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)The conventional extrapolation of ship resistance from model tests to full scale presumes that the coefficient of wave-making resistance (C<sub>w</sub>) depends on the Froude number only. This leads to the assumption that C<sub>w</sub> of a ship is identical to C<sub>w</sub> of its scaled model. However, this assumption is challenged in...journal article 2020

Zijlema, Marcel (author)This paper aims to present the extension of the non-hydrostatic wave-flow model SWASH with the covolume method to build discretization schemes on unstructured triangular grids. Central to this method that is free of spurious pressure modes, is the use of dual pairs of meshes that are mutually orthogonal, such as the Delaunay-Voronoi mesh...journal article 2020

Zeng, Q. (author)The traditional approach of extrapolating the experimentally measured model resistance of a ship to full scale is based on the Froude assumption or the form factor assumption, where the viscous part and wave-making part of the resistance are dealt with in deep water. In shallow water, however, the water-depth dependency of flat-plate/ship...doctoral thesis 2019

van Staalduinen, Inge (author)From shallow to deep water, from the well to the ship, from the offshore field to shore or between countries, many kilometres of offshore pipelines for transportation of hydrocarbons (oil and gas) have been installed over the last decades. Allseas’ Tog Mor is a shallow water pipelay barge capable of laying pipes up to a water depth of 25 meters....master thesis 2019

Rotteveel, E. (author)This research focuses on identifying the most important stern shape aspects, with regard to resistance and propulsion power, of inland ships. Such information should help designers to determine which hull form aspect to adjust in case design requirements need them to do so. The information is obtained by firstly conducting a large series of CFD...doctoral thesis 2019

Kästner, K. (author), Hoitink, A.J.F. (author), Torfs, P. J. J. F. (author), Deleersnijder, E.L.C. (author), Ningsih, N.S. (author)Conceptually, tidal rivers are seen as narrow channels along which the cross-section geometry remains constant and the bed is horizontal. As tidal waves propagate along such a channel, they decrease exponentially in height. The more rapid the decrease, the stronger the river flow. Near the coast, the tidally averaged width and depth change...journal article 2019

(author), Rey, Vincent (author), Touboul, Julien (author), Bouchette, Frédéric (author), Devenon, Jean Luc (author), Chevalier, Cristele (author), Aucan, Jerôme (author)This paper reports a combined observational and numerical study of wave transformation over barrier reefs. The field instrumentation, which consists in a cross-shore network of pressure sensors and one high resolution velocity profiler, has been deployed for more than two months over the Ouano reef barrier, New Caledonia. The combined...journal article 2019

Zeng, Q. (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Thill, C.H. (author)Accurate resistance prediction for ships sailing in vertically restricted waterways is highly required to improve the design and operation for large ships entering harbors and for vessels navigating in inland waters. The methods derived from deep water may lead to large errors, and studies considering shallow water effects are needed. As most...journal article 2019

Zijlema, Marcel (author)The purpose of this work is to point out the relevance of the Rankine-Hugoniot jump relations regarding the numerical solution of the inviscid shallow water equations. To arrive at physically relevant solutions in rapidly varied flow, it is of crucial importance that continuity of mass flux and momentum flux across a steady discontinuity is...journal article 2019

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Bellos, V. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)This work presents a method to emulate the flow dynamics of physically based hydrodynamic simulators under variations of time-dependent rainfall and parametric scenarios. Although surrogate modelling is often employed to deal with the computational burden of this type of simulators, common techniques used for model emulation as polynomial...journal article 2018

Peeters, Lotte (author)In this thesis, a coupled hydrodynamic, morphodynamic and plant growth model is reviewed. The goal of this model is to simulate plant colonization and channel formation on an initially flat or ascending substrate in a tidal landscape. To be able to simulate these biophysical processes on a small enough scale (while still using the same spatial...master thesis 2018

Reef, Koen RG (author), Lipari, Giordano (author), Roos, Pieter C. (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author)We present an idealized network model for storm surges in the Wadden Sea, specifically including a time-dependent wind forcing (wind speed and direction). This extends the classical work by H.A. Lorentz who only considered the equilibrium response to a steady wind forcing. The solutions obtained in the frequency domain for the linearized shallow...journal article 2018

van Vuuren, Frits (author)The Poineering Spirit is a heavy lift vessel that can lift offshore platforms in a single lift. Due to the waves, the vessel moves with respect to the platform. To make sure the vessel does not hit the platform, a motion compensation system is installed on the Pioneering Spirit. The maximum allowable vessel motions during<br/>the operation are...master thesis 2018

Geyer, A. (author), Quirchmayr, Ronald (author)Motivated by the question whether higher-order nonlinear model equations, which go beyond the Camassa-Holm regime of moderate amplitude waves, could point us to new types of waves profiles, we study the traveling wave solutions of a quasilinear evolution equation which models the propagation of shallow water waves of large amplitude. The aim of...journal article 2018

Cushman-Roisin, Benoit (author), Deleersnijder, E.L.C. (author)The analytical solution is derived for rotational frictional flow in a shallow layer of fluid in which the top and bottom Ekman layers join without leaving a frictionless interior.This vertical structure has significant implications for the horizontal flow. In particular, for a layer of water subjected to both a surface wind stress and bottom...journal article 2018

However, for ships sailing in the waterway with limited water depth, the frictional resistance will be influenced leading to a decreasing accuracy of the prediction with this correlation line.

Dicker, Jeroen (author)Beach nourishments or sand replenishments are applied by the use of pipelines or the rainbow method. Replenished sand is then moved and levelled by bulldozers. This is a passive approach to process the outflow of material. The land based equipment is dependent from tides and water levels, and significant effort is required to install and...master thesis 2017
