Draisma, Max (author)Understanding the factors that drive extreme water levels is key to an accurate assessment of flood hazard. The city of Venice has always been affected by flooding due to extreme water levels. In this study, we examine the factors driving and influencing extreme water levels in the Venice lagoon, aiming at deriving accurate extreme water level...master thesis 2023

Buwalda, F.J.L. (author), de Goede, Erik (author), Knepflé, Maxim (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)The accuracy, stability and computational efficiency of numerical methods on central processing units (CPUs) for the depth-averaged shallow water equations were well covered in the literature. A large number of these methods were already developed and compared. However, on graphics processing units (GPUs), such comparisons are relatively scarce....journal article 2023

Guarneri, H. (author), Verlaan, M. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), Veenstra, J. (author), Zijl, F. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Keyzer, L.M. (author), Afrasteh, Y. (author), Klees, R. (author)Both empirical and assimilative global ocean tidal models are significantly more accurate in the deep ocean than in shelf and coastal waters. In this study, we answered whether this is due to the quality of the models used to reduce tide and surge or the general approach to treat tide and surge as two separate components of the water level...journal article 2023

Le Grand, Oscar (author)Sea level rise will increase the risk of flooding in coastal areas. This poses a risk to the coastal protection as well as rivers and lakes close to the coast. Solutions are needed to cope with this threat. The past decade, nature based solutions have gained significant interest. One of these solutions could be sandy foreshores. Due to the use...master thesis 2022

Scheurwater, Bart (author)Witteveen+Bos as part of construction consortium Nautilus, has prepared the design of a sea defence system in Middelkerke. The very shallow water conditions (h/Hm0 = 0.3) and complex geometry of the structure, i.e. a high berm and stepped revetment, caused uncertainties in the usage of the empirical equations from the EurOtop Manual (2018) for...master thesis 2022

Hartgring, Sebastian (author)During the calibration of SWAN for shallow water lakes in the Netherlands, problems have been encountered. Especially the emergence of an unnatural, secondary peak in the low frequency part of the energy density spectrum poses problems. Therefore, this investigation aims to address the nonlinear shallow water source terms in SWAN that may...student report 2022

Zijlema, M. (author)This paper provides a rationale for the commonly observed numerical efficiency of staggered C-grid discretizations for solving the inviscid shallow water equations. In particular, using the key concepts of nonstandard calculus, we aim to show that the grid staggering of the primitive variables (surface elevation and normal velocity components)...journal article 2022

Lumban-Gaol, Yustisi (author), Arroyo Ohori, G.A.K. (author), Peters, R.Y. (author)Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) can be calculated using analytical or empirical approaches. Analytical approaches require several water properties and assumptions, which might not be known. Empirical approaches rely on the linear relationship between reflectances and in-situ depths, but the relationship may not be entirely linear due to...journal article 2022

Dann, Nicolas (author), Segovia Castillo, P. (author), Reppa, V. (author)This paper presents an adaptive approximation-based scheme for learning a partially known ship power propulsion plant under various environmental conditions. Considering the effect of water depth on the engine power, a dynamic model is defined comprised of the engine dynamics and the 1-DoF ship manoeuvring dynamics. The modelling challenge is...journal article 2022

Stelling, G.S. (author)The widespread availability of high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM), has led to the development of subgrid numerical modeling techniques, based on Shallow Water Equations (SWE). Detailed DEM data is clustered as much as possible within a coarse grid cell that is preferably much larger than a raster pixel. This has considerable...journal article 2022

Yustisi Ardhitasari Lumban Gaol, Yustisi (author)Bathymetric depth for shallow water regions is essential for coastal management and research. The measurements using echo sounding and LiDAR leave data gaps because vessels cannot reach nearshore waters or the green laser unable to penetrate specific areas. Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is an alternative to extract shallow water depths that...master thesis 2021

Nuij, Gert-Jan (author)The CCNR will ensure that in 2050 inland ships do not emit any emissions. A PEM fuel cell system running on pure hydrogen could be a solution. However, the new system imposes some difficulties on the design of the inland ship. A calculation model is created to evaluate inland ships with this system and research these difficulties. The...master thesis 2021

Vos, Bart (author)In recent years many automatic differentiable programming frameworks have been developed in which numerical programs can be differentiated through automatic differentiation (AD). Examples of these frameworks are Theano, TensorFlow and Pytorch. These frameworks are widely used in Machine Learning. AD also finds applications in the field of...bachelor thesis 2021

Persi, Elisabetta (author), Petaccia, Gabriella (author), Sibilla, Stefano (author), Bentivoglio, Roberto (author), Armanini, Aronne (author)An advection-diffusion model is proposed to simulate large wood transport during high flows. The mathematical model is derived from the wood mass balance, taking into consideration both the wood mass concentration and the log orientation, which affects log transport and, most importantly, wood accumulation. Focusing on wood mass transport,...journal article 2021

(author), Dufois, François (author), Symonds, Graham (author)Long waves are generated and transform when short-wave groups propagate into shallow water, but the generation and transformation processes are not fully understood. In this study we develop an analytical solution to the linearized shallow-water equations at the wave-group scale, which decomposes the long waves into a forced solution (a bound...journal article 2021

Satellite-derived bathymetry using convolutional neural networks and multispectral sentinel-2 imagesLumban-Gaol, Y. A. (author), Arroyo Ohori, G.A.K. (author), Peters, R.Y. (author)Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) has been used in many applications related to coastal management. SDB can efficiently fill data gaps obtained from traditional measurements with echo sounding. However, it still requires numerous training data, which is not available in many areas. Furthermore, the accuracy problem still arises considering...journal article 2021

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, M. (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
