Platell, H. (author)In dit onderzoek is aandacht besteed aan de gravitatie circulatie in de Waddenzee. Daarbij is de vraag of dit een rol kan spelen bij sedimenttransport. De gravitatie circulatie is een stroming die bovenin de waterkolom een andere stromingsrichting kent dan onderin en ontstaat doordat het water niet een uniforme dichtheid kent in het bekken....bachelor thesis 2016

van Hoof, S. (author)In Walla Walla, Washington the Mill Creek flows through an outdated concrete spillway that needs renovation. The city council of Walla Walla saw this as an opportunity to further develop this channel. Their desires include conservation of the fish ladder, enabling to sail by boat and to prettify the spillway. A Sobek 1D model was built to give a...bachelor thesis 2016

Verschuur, J. (author)River floods are considered one of the most important natural disasters and causes huge damages every year, both in economic consequences and fatalities. Out of historical perspectives, human settlements are located in fertile and economic attractive delta regions. Deltas tend to be constantly changing nodes of economic and urban growth leading...bachelor thesis 2016

Cete, C. (author), Haage, S. (author)Om erosie en ontgronding in rivieren te voorkomen kan bodembescherming worden toegepast. Voor stenen als bodembescherming zijn er al twee verbanden bekend tussen de stroomsnelheid waarbij de stenen instabiel worden, ofwel de kritieke stroomsnelheid, en de diameter. Deze twee verbanden zijn door de onderzoekers Izbash en Shields samengesteld....bachelor thesis 2016

Bader, D.J. (author)Floods are an increasing problem all over the world. Due to climate changes and socio-economic developments multiple areas are at risk. Flood risk is nowadays expressed as the global economic losses due to floods and these losses are raising. HKV and Deltares recognized this problem and started to develop a method to calculate flood risks. A...bachelor thesis 2016

Van Leeuwen, P. (author), Van Olst, L. (author), Van der Scheer, B.H. (author)Door menselijke ingrepen zoals versmalling en rechttrekken van de rivier, winning van bouwstoffen en de bouw van waterwerken krijgen Nederlandse rivieren steeds minder zand en grind aangevoerd. De stroomsnelheid en daarmee de erosie nemen toe. Er ontstaan grote ontgrondingskuilen, die het risico op het bezwijken van de oever vergroten. Om dit...bachelor thesis 2016

Yao, P. (author)The Jiangsu coast is located in eastern China bordering the South Yellow Sea. It is strongly affected by the semi-diurnal tides. Both the tidal range and the tidal current vary greatly in space due to local tidal wave systems and morphologies. The radial tidal current pattern identified at the central coast is suggested to play a primary role in...doctoral thesis 2016

Mil-Homens, J. (author)Longshore Sediment Transport (LST) is one of the main drivers of beach morphology. It works at temporal scales ranging from hours to centuries and at spatial scales ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of kilometres. Episodic, large LST rates can result in important physical impacts such as inlet closure, rapid build-up of ebb/flood shoals,...doctoral thesis 2016

Su, M. (author)A large proportion of the world population lives in the coastal zone, which is facing a variety of natural and anthropogenic impacts on its evolution. A better understanding of coastal evolution can be obtained when it is based on an accurate knowledge of coastal dynamics. This thesis aims to study the long-term (hundreds of years) coastal...doctoral thesis 2016

Orrú, C. (author)The main objective of this project is to develop new measuring techniques for providing detailed data on sediment sorting suitable for sand-gravel laboratory experiments. Such data will be of aid in obtaining new insights on sorting mechanisms and improving prediction capabilities of morphodynamic models. Two measuring techniques have been...doctoral thesis 2016

(author)This study identifies and unravels the processes that lead to stratification and destratification in the far field of a Region of Freshwater Influence (ROFI). We present measurements that are novel for two reasons: (1) measurements were carried out with two vessels that sailed simultaneously over two cross-shore transects; (2) the measurements...journal article 2016

Van Dorsser, C. (author)NL: Scenario’s zijn belangrijk bij het evalueren van infrastructuur beleid, maar helaas zijn er gegronde redenen om te twijfelen aan de gangbare veronderstellingen ten aanzien van economische groei zoals gehanteerd in vrijwel alle officiële scenariostudies. Dit artikel bespreekt de in de Nederlandse "WLO referentiescenario's" gehanteerde...journal article 2016

Huibregtse, E. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author), Hellebrandt, L. (author), Paprotny, D. (author), De Wit, S. (author)This paper presents a risk-based method to quantify climate change effects on road infrastructure, as a support for decision-making on interventions. This can be implemented in climate adaptation plans as an element of asset management. The method is illustrated by a specific case in which traffic on a road network is disrupted by the flooding...journal article 2016

Cenedese, C. (author), Gatto, V.M. (author)Idealized laboratory experiments investigate the glacier–ocean boundary dynamics near a vertical glacier in a two-layer stratified fluid. Discharge of meltwater runoff at the base of the glacier (subglacial discharge) enhances submarine melting. In the laboratory, the effect of multiple sources of subglacial discharge is simulated by introducing...journal article 2016

Gallagher, Edith (author), Wadman, Heidi (author), McNinch, Jesse (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Koktas, Melike (author)Grain size on the surface of natural beaches has been observed to vary spatially and temporally with morphology and wave energy. The stratigraphy of the beach at Duck, North Carolina, USA was examined using 36 vibracores (~1-1.5 m long) collected along a cross-shore beach profile. Cores show that beach sediments are finer (~0.3 mm) and more...journal article 2016

(author)A stability parameter for rock in bed protections under nonuniform stationary flow is derived. The influence of the mean flow velocity, turbulence, and mean acceleration of the flow are included explicitly in the parameter. The relatively new notion of explicitly incorporating the mean acceleration of the flow significantly improves the...journal article 2016

Verhagen, H.J. (author)For this book we have deliberately chosen that the text should follow a more or less logical design procedure for closure dams. It is emphasized that only the construction aspect of stopping the water movement is considered in this book. This means that only the closing operation itself is treated; the transformation of the closing dam into a...lecture notes 2016

Van Osselen, K.R. (author)Dutch flood protections are assessed every five to six years in a nationwide safety assessment round. During the last assessment round large dike stretches in the Dutch Wadden Sea could not meet the safety requirements, and were assessed with failure. Dike strengthening is therefore needed in these areas. However, in front of these dike salt...master thesis 2016
