Onshore sandbar migration in the nearshore

This thesis is about the hydrodynamic processes that occur when a nearshore sandbar migrates towards the shore driven by the waves. These processes are relevant because process-based morphological models have difficulty simulating coastal accretion events in contrast to erosion events. Simulating accretion events is important for engineering...

Eenvoudige modellering van bodemschuifspanningen bij kribben: Verkenning van haalbaarheid

Probabilistic approach on course material transport under waves: Vol. 1 Theory and experiment.

The probabilistic design method of a cover layer of pipe line under the horizontal bottom is described. By assuming that the water velocity at the bottom is Rayleigh distributed, probability of bottom shear stress was derived. With a combination of the probability function of bottom shear and a simple sediment transport formula given by Madsen...

Shear-Stress and Sediment Distribution in a Meander Bend

A one-meter wide, meandering flume with movable sand bed was utilized in these experiments. Uniform flow was established at discharges of 20, 35, and 50 l/sec. Velocities near the bed, the distribution of sediment in transport, bed geometry, and strength of secondary flow were determined at each discharge . Bed shear stress was assumed to be...
