Salt marshes: habitat suitability and flood hazard reduction effectiveness

Mendoza Viteri, Marco (author)

In recent years, nature-based solutions have gained recognition for their capacity to reduce flood hazard on coastal communities. These coastal threats range from waves and tides, to future storm variability and predicted sea level rise. Vegetated foreshores are one of the measures that fall under this palette of solutions, and are the focus of...

The relationship between sea-swell bound wave height and wave shape

de Wit, F.P. (author), Tissier, M.F.S. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)

The nonlinear wave shape, expressed by skewness and asymmetry, can be calculated from surface elevation or pressure time series using bispectral analysis. Here, it is shown that the same analysis technique can be used to calculate the bound superharmonic wave height. Using measured near-bed pressures from three different field experiments, it...

The effects of wave non-linearity on wave attenuation by vegetation

Phan Khanh, L. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Zijlema, M. (author), Truong, H.T.X. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)

Wave attenuation through mangrove forests has received more and more attention, especially in the context of increasing coastal erosion and sea-level-rise. Numerous studies have focused on studying the reduction of wave height in a mangrove forest. However, the understanding of this attenuation process is still in its infancy. In order to obtain...

Gulf of Mexico hurricane wave simulations using SWAN: Bulk formula-based drag coefficient sensitivity for Hurricane Ike

Huang, Y. (author), Weisberg, R.H. (author), Zheng, L. (author), Zijlema, M. (author)

The effects of wind input parameterizations on wave estimations under hurricane conditions are examined using the unstructured grid, third-generation wave model, Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN). Experiments using Hurricane Ike wind forcing, which impacted the Gulf of Mexico in 2008, illustrate that the default and recommended setting for the...

Individual wave height distributions in the coastal zone: Measurements and simulations and the effect of directional spreading

Van Vledder, G.P. (author), Ruessink, G. (author), Rijnsdorp, D.P. (author)

Characteristics of the individual wave height distribution in shallow water have been investigated using measured wave data and results of numerical simulations using the non-hydrostatic SWASH model. It is shown that the SWASH model is capable of reproducing the temporal and spatial variation of surface elevation in a wave flume and the...

The influence of the wave height distribution on the stability of single layer concrete armour units

Zwanenburg, S.A.A. (author)

The dimensions of single layer concrete armour units (interlocking armour units) are calculated with a similar stability relation as the stability relation for quarry stone. In these design formulas an 'average/significant' wave load is used (Hs). Since quarry stone gains its stability only from gravity, this type of armour unit is constructed...

Wave height from pressure measurements

Winde, H.P. (author)

For this project, Environment Mapping & Surveying (EMS) from South Africa has provided two pressure meters for wave measuring. These pressure meters give a value for the pressure, which must be converted to pressure and after that to a Rayleigh distribution and a wave spectrum. Therefore is the purpose of this report to test the pressure meter...

Validation of extreme wave and crest height distribution: Using laboratory simulation and field measurement data

Djunaidi, R.P.A. (author)

This thesis has focussed on the validation of extreme wave and crest height distribution. The empirical distribution was simulated based on laboratory and field measurement water elevation data. Both sets of data indicated the presence of abnormal wave ensuring the extreme condition aimed at in this study. The literature review was performed to...
