(author), Tchiguirinskaia, I. (author), Giangola Murzyn, A. (author), Richard, J. (author), Schertzer, D. (author), Willems, P. (author)Precipitation and catchment information needs to be available at high resolution to reliably predict hydrological response and potential flooding in urban catchments. While recent advances have been made in weather radar technology and availability of DTM for urban flood modelling, the question is whether these are sufficient to provide reliable...conference paper 2014

Keya, A.L. (author)Low-salinity flooding (LSF) is an improved-oil-recovery method that consists of injecting brine with lower salinity than conventional formation water into the reservoir rock. This method has the potential to improve the oil recovery beyond conventional waterflooding. In sandstone reservoir rocks, it has been reported that the salinity range...master thesis 2014

Lu, P. (author)Spatial planning is increasingly being considered as an important mechanism in coping with flood risk due to climate change. One of the reasons for this is that engineering approaches are increasingly expensive and cannot provide complete certainty of protection against climate-related floods. The thesis examines whether and how spatial planning...doctoral thesis 2014

Den Ouden, L. (author)Low salinity water flooding (LSF) has been proved to be a promising enhanced oil recovery method for sandstone reservoirs. The efficiency of LSF in carbonate reservoirs has not been proven completely yet, because there are still uncertainties about the LSF recovery mechanism in carbonate. From experimental studies, it was shown that wettability...master thesis 2014

Pawirokromo, J.S.W. (author)Some storage tank terminals located in hurricane prone regions were heavily struck by hurricanes. An example is the storage tank terminal of Stolthaven Terminals (Stolt-Nielsen Limited) which is located in New-Orleans and was severely struck by Hurricane Katrina and Isaac. Damage to the terminal was caused by high wind pressures, but mainly due...master thesis 2014

Van Denderen, R.P. (author)Bed level changes during a flood can have large influence on the safety against flooding and the navigational function of a river. In 1997 measurements were carried out in the Waal during a flood. These measurements present an average decrease of the bed level in the order of 10 cm over a 10 km reach which is much larger than expected from the...master thesis 2014

Ruiz Fuentes, M.J. (author)Tokyo Bay is an area exposed to storm surges generated by typhoons. Consequently lowlands along its coastline are subject to flood risk. Dike walls, levees and barriers have been developed by the Japanese to protect these coastal areas. In the coming decades it is expected that a rise in sea level will occur. Also, climate change is expected to...master thesis 2014

Schweckendiek, T. (author)Dikes and levees play a crucial role in flood protection in deltaic areas such as the Netherlands. Internal erosion piping or under-seepage is a major cause of levee failures and a main contributor to the probability of failure of river levees due to the large (mostly geotechnical) uncertainties. The present thesis investigates how geotechnical...doctoral thesis 2014

Guschl, L.B. (author)For 400 years New York has a turbulent interaction with its surrounding waters. It embraced, tamed, neglected and rediscovered the waterfront which made its greatness possible. Hurricane Sandy brought in a new complexity for New York and its relationship with the waterfront. The storm reminded the city where it is located and paid a high price...master thesis 2014

Willemse, B. (author)The subject of this graduation project is Resilient Communities; designing flood-risk protection measures that will increase the quality of live within communities. The location chosen to develop this project is Coney Island, an urbanized peninsula located on the Atlantic coast of New York City. This area is characterized by a wide variety of...master thesis 2014

Yi-Hsuan, L. (author)During Sandy, three of the biggest hospitals in Manhattan had to evacuate their patients in emergency under the condition of the power outage. Staffs delivered more than four hundreds patients by labor through the staircases from more than twenty stories while ambulances were waiting under the rain to evacuate patients to other safer hospitals....master thesis 2014

(author)In this study an overview of existing and planned storm surge barriers in the world is provided. A systematic analysis relates functional requirements (e.g. navigation and tidal exchange) to the main barrier characteristics (e.g. gate type, dimensions). Furthermore, as the costs of barriers are an important issue in the planning, available cost...conference paper 2014

(author)The Houston - Galveston area is at significant risk from hurricane induced storm surges. This paper summarizes ongoing studies on flood risk reduction for the region. Firstly, based on a simplified probabilistic hurricane surge model , the return periods of surges within the bay have been estimated. This model framework can be used to assess the...conference paper 2014

Lemmens, D.D.M.M. (author)Sand dikes have a sand core and a clay layer to protect the core against erosion. It is not unlikely that this layer fails due to several failure mechanisms, exposing the sand core to water. This can be catastrophically when water is overtopping the dike. In case the protective cover fails, water can flow over the core and erode the sand,...master thesis 2014

Van Slooten, M.A. (author)One way of stabilizing a ship is by anti-roll tanks. There are three kinds of anti-roll tanks: the free-surface, U-tube and free-flooding tanks. Of these the free-flooding anti-roll tank is the least known and applied. The reason is that the performance of these tanks is reduced due to a momentum drag penalty incurred at forward speeds. This...master thesis 2014
