Schematizing wave boundary conditions in sediment transport modeling around a harbour: A case study for Salaverry-harbour, Peru

For many applications in the field of coastal engineering 2D-morphological models are being applied. Due to the large computational effort these models demand it is nearly impossible to include a full wave climate in long-term morphological modeling. This has asked for waveclimate reduction methods in order to reduce the input and consequently...

Numerical harbour simulations with the model TRIWAQ - NH: With an emphasize on the present reflective properties

The focus is on the numerical flow model TRIWAQ. It is developed as a hydrostatic free-surface flow model, which is currently being used by the KNMI and Rijkswaterstaat for predictions of water levels in the North Sea and Dutch estuaries. TRIWAQ has successfully been extended to the realm of nonhydrostatic modeling, TRIWAQ-NH, this allows the...

Boundary Conditions for a Seiche model

The Storm Surge Barrier in the New Waterway was built to protect the city and port of Rotterdam and the area of the lower Rhine against flooding during extreme conditions. This construction, consisting of two gigantic arc shaped barriers, is to be pivoted into the New Waterway and then lowered in case of an impeding emergency. The arc shape...
