Steenstra, Remco (author), Hofland, Bas (author), Paarlberg, Andries (author), Smale, Alfons (author), Huthoff, Fredrik (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author)A stability parameter for rock in bed protections under nonuniform stationary flow is derived. The influence of the mean flow velocity, turbulence, and mean acceleration of the flow are included explicitly in the parameter. The relatively new notion of explicitly incorporating the mean acceleration of the flow significantly improves the...journal article 2016

Hoan, N.T. (author), Booij, R. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)The current research is aimed at finding a proper relation between flow forces acting on the bed and the bed response. To this end, experiments were carried out in which both the bed response (quantified by a dimensionless entrainment rate) and the flow field (velocity and turbulence intensity distributions) are measured. The three available...conference paper 2007

(author)The current research is aimed at finding a dimensionless stability parameter for non-uniform flow in which the effect of turbulence is incorporated. To this end, experiments were carried out in which both the bed response (quantified by a dimensionless entrainment rate) and the flow field (velocity and turbulence intensity distributions) are...conference paper 2007

Hofland, B. (author)Layers of stone or rock are often applied around hydraulic structures to protect the sand bed from scouring. Determining the size of the rocks is complicated by the fact that the flow over a bed protection usually is non-uniform. This thesis describes two experimental series in which the stability of a single stone under non-uniform flows is...doctoral thesis 2005
