Slinger, J (author)Water renewal and flushing in small, intermittently open or closed estuaries is receiving increasing attention particularly in light of the climate change induced alterations in run-off, wave and sediment transport conditions along coasts. The challenges of predicting the stratification-circulation state and the balance between tidal or...journal article 2024

Kotturshettar, Sanath (author)Stratified turbulent flows abound in environmental and industrial settings. Examples are atmospheric boundary layer flows, the transport of nutrients and organisms and the mixing of heat and salinity in the oceans, fluid flow in heat exchangers, and the transport of reactants and products in chemical reactions. These examples and many others...master thesis 2023

de Vries, Irene (author)Polders water canals are sometimes exposed to brackish seepage from the nearby saline sea (salinization). This is a problem because the canal water is used to irrigate crops. A characteristic of water is that less dense (fresh) water floats on top of dense (saline) water. In lakes and oceans, it is common that water layers with various densities...master thesis 2023

Fradera Soler, Pau (author)Pollution in urban environments is increasingly becoming a major concern for our societies which, together with the increasingly powerful capabilities provided by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), has made pollution dispersion a common topic of research during the last two decades. Several factors are relevant to the dispersion of pollutants...master thesis 2023

Chu, Jifeng (author), Iulian Martin, Calin (author), Marynets, K. (author)We present here exact solutions to the equations of geophysical fluid dynamics that depict inviscid flows moving in the azimuthal direction on a circular path, around the globe, and which admit a velocity profile below the surface and along it. These features render this model suitable for the description of the Antarctic circumpolar current ...journal article 2023

Wu, K. (author), Wagner, E.C. (author), Ochkin-Koenig, Olga (author), Franck, Miika (author), Weis, Dominik (author), Meesters, G.M.H. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)Mechanical vibration has been broadly used to assist fluidization of cohesive powders, because of its capability to disrupt gas channels and agglomerates. However, the improvement reported in literature is mostly deduced from bulk response and ex-situ measurements, whereas the induced fluidization behavior and underlying physics remain...journal article 2023

Kranenburg, W.M. (author), Tiessen, Meinard (author), Blaas, Meinte (author), Van Veen, Nathalie (author)Around the world, estuaries have been partially or completely closed-off from the sea and their number may increase with rising sea levels. Concurrently, there is a trend to reintroduce seawater inflow into enclosed former estuaries for ecosystem improvement. This is also the case in the Haringvliet, a former estuary in the Rhine-Meuse Delta,...journal article 2023

Cremers, Sho (author)With the emergence of energy communities, where a number of prosumers (consumers with their own energy generation) invest in shared renewable generation capacity and battery storage, the issue of fair allocation of benefits and costs has become increasingly important. The Shapley value, a solution concept in cooperative game theory initially...master thesis 2022

Lin, J. (author)Estuaries are the core area of land-sea interactions and have significant ecological and economic value. In estuaries, hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics are the crucial processes governing geomorphology, navigability, and primary production. Since the turn of the 20th century, increased human activities (e.g., damming, dredging, and...doctoral thesis 2022

Vesper, J.E. (author), Tietjen, Sebastian C. (author), Chakkingal, M. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author)In the present study, we analyse individual and combined effects of conductive horizontal walls and conductive fins on the natural convection of air in side heated cavities (SHC). The flow and heat transfer are studied for Rayleigh numbers in the range of 10<sup>4</sup>−−10<sup>9</sup>: Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is conducted for the...journal article 2022

Nanninga, Stefanie (author)The amount of suspended sediment spill released during dredging activities in the Fehmarnbelt strait is monitored along the excavated trench to prevent negative effects on local ecology. Stratification due to the interaction of saline water from the North Sea and fresh water from the Baltic Sea forces bi-directional flow of the layer above and...student report 2021

Binsma, Jouke (author)Key points:- Pre-closure salinity intrusion into Haringvliet-Hollands Diep is known to have reached Biesbosch National Park at flood tide. Post-Delta21 salinity intrusion is projected to be less extensive than pre-closure. Maximum intrusion is estimated to reach the westernmost Moerdijk ports mainly due to diminished tidal...master thesis 2021

Ghani, Siti Nur Ainsyah (author), Yarmand, H. (author), Noor, Noor Fadiya Mohd (author)Heat flux enhancement due to utilization of graphene, graphene nanoplatelets, and graphene oxides in water/ethylene-glycol based nanofluids over an inclined permeable cylinder is focused in the present study. The governing PDE are reformulated into non-linear ODE by applying similarity expressions. A shooting procedure is opted to reformulate...journal article 2021

Geraeds, Marlein (author)Phenomena like sea level rise, global warming and erosion together contribute to increasing flood risk in vulnerable coastal areas. As this flood risk increases, initiatives to mitigate the effects of climate change in the coastal zone are also increasingly sought. During recent years, the view that these measures should be circular has gained...master thesis 2020

Tempel, Auke (author)Regular maintainance dredging is a large expense to the Port of Rotterdam, therefore the installation of sediment traps is considered. By increasing the bathymetry locally, an increase of local accumulation is expected and a decrease deeper in the harbour basin. This thesis describes the functioning of sediment traps in a stratified tidally...master thesis 2019

Leunge, Laurens (author)In the Netherlands, robust dike and dam design is a major concern in the context of flood defence. Due to heterogeneity of the subsoil on which these structures are founded, the validity range of in situ tests decreases drastically. Consequently, large uncertainties regarding spatial variation of soil stratification and soil layer parameters are...master thesis 2019

Meirelles, Saulo (author)This thesis examines the effects of the stratified tidal flow on the morphodynamics of the Dutch inner shelf. The south portion of the Dutch inner shelf is strongly influenced by the Rhine River ROFI (Region Of Freshwater Influence), which is generated by the discharge from the Rhine River through the Rotterdam waterways. Under stratified...doctoral thesis 2019

Groot, Jeffrey (author)To combat the emission of greenhouse gasses and the corresponding climate change, emission reduction goals have been established in the recent Paris Agreement. In order to meet these reduction goals and minimise the global average temperature increase, implementation of renewable energy sources is critical. Wind energy is one of the fastest...master thesis 2018

Rijnsburger, S. (author), Flores, Raúl P. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Horner-Devine, Alexander R. (author), Souza, Alejandro J. (author)In this study we used field data and radar images to investigate the influence of winds and tides on the propagation of tidal plume fronts. The measurements were collected in a shallow shelf region off the Dutch coast, 10 km north of the Rhine River mouth, and they clearly show the passage of distinct freshwater lenses and associated fronts...journal article 2018

Chavarrias Borras, V. (author), Blom, A. (author), Orru, C. (author), Martín-Vide, Juan Pedro (author), Viparelli, Enrica (author)Laboratory experiments were conducted on a sand-gravel Gilbert delta to gain insight on its dynamics under varying base level. Base level rise results in intensified aggradation over the topset, as well as a decrease in topset slope and topset surface coarsening, the signals of which migrate in an upstream direction. Preferential deposition...journal article 2018
