Hendrix, Emile (author)Ventilation events are the result of masses of air being transported from the water surface along the hull, through the propeller plane. Previous research in literature has shown that ventilation induces large and sudden variations of the load on the propeller. The response of the propulsion system had not been documented before. This is a...master thesis 2020

Ascencio Ascencio, Jaime (author)Climate change puts under pressure existing and future coastal interventions. Growing threats like sea-level rise and intensity of storms require solutions to be adaptable and resilient. Nature-based solutions have shown to tackle these challenges while providing social, environmental, and economic benefits. The role of vegetation in coastal...master thesis 2020

Amijs, Tijn (author)The development of an Active Reflection Compensation (ARC) algorithm for a wave generator is challenging. Water behaves in a strong nonlinear way and the time available for the computation of the compensating segment displacements is short. Especially for the case where the wave height sensors are mounted on the surface of the segments. The...master thesis 2020

van der Reijden, Ineke (author)For the design of coastal structures, the hydraulic loads that act on the coast should be known. These are often based on extrapolation of measurements. However, if the physical relation is unknown, large errors could be made. Therefore, a numerical model can be set up to take the most important processes into account.Yet, uncertainties are...master thesis 2020

Ashirgade, Shriram (author)Processes occurring in the near-shore region operates on a small spatial and temporal scale. Simulations of these processes have long posed challenges for computational science, and to have accurate representations require a higher resolution. This results in computationally expensive models. This project aimed to investigate the possibility of...master thesis 2019

Komen, Rutger (author)Near IJburg a new Island named Strandeiland is being build to create living area. On the eastern part of this island an inlet is situated. In this research the wave penetration in this inlet is simulated using the numerical models SWAN and SWASH. With the results of the simulations the verticall walls which surround the inlet are dimensioned....master thesis 2019

Veldt, Timo (author)Many coastlines fronted by a coral reef are threatened by wave driven flooding. For this reason, waves in coral reef environments has been topic of many studies. However, most are focused on a 1D simplification of the coral reef environment. These studies neglect the impact of 2D processes, for example wave directional spread. In this study an...master thesis 2019

Maroudi, Konstantina (author)A main challenge port engineers had to tackle in recent years is wave penetration inside a harbour, as it determines vessels’ safe sailing and mooring, possibly causes unwanted vessel movements, and unequivocally regulates the execution of port operations. A physical scale model can describe wave penetration in a complete way. However, the...master thesis 2019

BALLAS, Grigoris (author)To counteract the effect of climate change, a global agreement was put into force in 2016, aiming to limit the increase in average global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In that respect, European countries are investing in cleaner sources of energy and predominantly offshore wind, which has seen a rapid growth over the last years....master thesis 2018

Gensen, M.R.A. (author)Wave overtopping in harbour areas is a fairly untreated topic in the context of flood risk analyses. Pragmatic approaches were undertaken to evaluate the possible influence of wave overtopping on the frequency of flooding. However no consensus was reached on how wave overtopping in a harbour area could be quantified. Therefore it is also...master thesis 2017

Van der Meij, A.B. (author)Dockwise started in 2008 with the OCTOPUS motion monitoring and captain decision support system for performance optimization and bad weather routing capacity. The OCTOPUS-Onboard system gathers weather and motion data, which is collected in the OCTOPUS database. This database includes the encountered weather data and the measured accelerations...master thesis 2015

Van Mierlo, F.A.J.M. (author)Wave climates in ports can determine the efficiency of port operations to a large extent, so good predictions of them are important. This thesis therefore focusses on the modelling of wave penetration in ports, using several numerical models as well as a physical model. The goal is to compare numerical wave models for the use of wave penetration...master thesis 2014

Dobrochinski, J.P.H. (author)Moored vessels are subject to wave forces and moments at different frequencies, which induce motions of the body and can be transferred to the mooring lines and fenders. Under extreme forcing and vessel motions, dangerous line breaking accidents can occur or the ship movements can be simply too large to continue the on/off-loading process,...master thesis 2014

Riezebos, H.J. (author)This MSc thesis report discusses a greenfield deep-sea port development in a developing country along a shallow oceanic coast. A port layout is developed based on a fictional cargo forecast. In the interest of port adaptivity, this layout is kept flexible as possible. The design is subsequently checked with regard to wave penetration and...master thesis 2013

Stengs, B. (author)Recently an unstructured version of Delft3D, named D-Flow FM, has been developed at Deltares. This tool shows high potentials for coastal modelling due to the flexibility in domain resolution and unstructured grids. This MSc thesis focussed on implementing wave effects in D-Flow FM with satisfying results. In addition, a coupling system is built...master thesis 2013

Luteijn, J.M. (author)Problem definition The city Mar del Plata has one of Argentina's largest ports and biggest seaside beach resort. After the construction of the port, a steadily growing sandbank appeared in the port entrance and considerable erosion occurred on the northern beaches. To warrant the accessibility of the port, frequent maintenance dredging is needed...master thesis 2013

Broersen, W.A. (author)Introduction Dong Lam Cement Factory is developing a new clinker plant in Thua Thien-Hue Province, Vietnam. The clinker has to be exported towards Ho Chi Minh City, where it is grinded into cement and used for the construction industry. For the clinker production coal is needed and has to be imported. To make the in- and export possible a new...master thesis 2010

Boeyinga, J. (author)The workability of floating construction equipment is one of the elements in the construction phasing of the design of the Ashdod port extension in the south of Israel by DHV Consultancy and Engineering. Waves play an important role in the workability of floating equipment, since they induce motions to floating equipment with the possibility of...master thesis 2010
