Thesis small scale equilibria in tidal basins: A data-analysis and case study in the Ameland Inlet

The behaviour of tidal basins has been predicted using a modelling approach in which a morphological equilibrium for an entire basin was used frequently in the past. Because tidal basins have, to an certain extend, a fractal nature, it is expected that this approach could be used with a morphological equilibrium for subbasins as well.<br/><br/...

Empirical relationship between inlet cross-sectional area and tidal prism: A re-evaluation

The well-known empirical relationship between the equilibrium cross-sectional area of tidal inlet entrances (A) and the tidal prism (P), first developed by O’Brien (1931), has been extensively reviewed. Our theoretical investigations indicate that a unique A-P relationship should only be expected for clusters of inlets that are phenomenological...

Review of empirical relationships between inlet cross-section and tidal prism

Although other engineers had considered the relationship between tidal prism and inlet crosssectional area before, it is O’Brien who is usually credited for deriving the familiar relationship A = aPm, where A is the cross-sectional area (relative to mean sea level) and P is the spring tidal prism. The coefficients a and m vary from entrance to...

Toepassing van evenwichtsrelaties op de Haringvlietmond

Tijdens deze studie zijn de lange termijn ontwikkelingen onderzocht die zullen plaatsvinden in de monding van het Haringvliet als gevolg van verschillende ingrepen, t.w. het doorsteken van de Brielse Gatdam, een uitbreiding van de Maasvlakte en een ander spuibeheer van de Haringvlietsluizen. Daarvoor is eerst een analyse gemaakt van de ingrepen...

Equilibrium flow areas of inlets on sandy coasts
