Hanssen, J.L.J. (author)To date there is limited knowledge about the flow behaviour of non-Newtonian slurry and tailings flows. In hydraulic engineering and the mining industry numerous questions and uncertainties still exist. Different numerical and analytical models have been developed attempting to meet this demand. For the larger part they describe the rheological...master thesis 2016

Van Arkel, M. (author)This research investigates approaches to conduct an efficient sensitivity analysis of wave forcing in coastal erosion studies. For this three speed-accuracy trade-offs have been assessed: (i) between the use of a simple and a complex model, (ii) between the use of several methods for conducting a sensitivity analysis, and (iii) between the use...master thesis 2016

De Haan, F.S. (author)As a consequence of extracting gas from gas fields in the subsoil of the Groningen province during the last decades, seismic activity is increasingly encountered. As The Netherlands is not located in a seismic active area, dynamic loads due to earthquakes historically are not taken into account in structural design. The dynamic loads from...master thesis 2016

Moreno, A.J. (author), Kar, A. (author), De Queiroz, B. (author), Rada Mora, M.B. (author), Disanayaka Mudiyanselage, S.S.J. (author), Arefin, S.S. (author)Holwerd is a village located at the coast of the Wadden Sea. Decisions made in the past have affected the town in a negative manner leading to an impoverishment of the region. Therefore, we were tasked with rehabilitating the city of Holwerd by establishing the connection with the sea and making the goal (Holwerd aan Zee) of the inhabitants come...student report 2016

Marinov, K. (author), Arrieta, X. (author), Hewageegana, H. (author), De Almeida, E. (author), Da Silva, R. (author)The Hague Municipality, which is responsible for Scheveningen Harbour, is seeking solutions for two problems it is currently facing: reorganization/expansion of Scheveningen Harbour considering the shortage of marina places and the future demands; and connection of the north and south sides of the harbour, namely, bridging De Pijp. CoMEM TU...student report 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

Schrijver, I.J.M. (author)The subject of this master thesis is introduced by the lack of regulations for the design of flexible dolphins. Currently, the design of flexible dolphins is based on the Eurocode, which does not cover all aspects which are of importance in dolphin design. Consequently, different countries and associations developed their own guidelines, which...master thesis 2016

Everts, P.S. (author)All over the world rubble mound breakwaters are built to protect harbours, shorelines, and other vulnerable coastal areas against wave action and currents. Most of the designs for these structures use so called deterministic or semi-probabilistic design methods (level I). With these methods insight in the uncertainties, and consequently the...master 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

Jager, T. (author)This thesis investigates the governing generating mechanisms, shoaling and reflection behaviour of infra-gravity waves on a mild-sloping, macro-tidal, rocky shore platform. The methods comprise among others, field data analysis of the Lilstock platform, numerical modelling using a calibrated XBeach model and a cross-correlation analysis to...master 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

Darnall, J. (author)A survey dataset taken at the Sand Engine mega-nourishment on the southwest coast of Holland was analyzed in an attempt to locate beach scarps and characterize their development. A beach scarp is defined as a vertical discontinuity in the upper foreshore slope generated through the removal of sediment by natural processes. More specifically,...master thesis 2016

Monteban, D. (author)The determination of wave penetration in ports is of great importance for the design of coastal structures and for the efficiency of port operations. Nowadays, coastal engineers can make use of numerical models for the assessment of wave climates in ports. Various numerical models exist, including the phase resolving models SWASH (TU Delft) and...master thesis 2016

Le, T.N. (author)Prototype single layer armour units on a breakwater slope are observed to break. To predict when breakage occurs, the objective of this research project is to obtain knowledge on, and measurements of the rocking behaviour and failure mode of single layer armour units. A single cube on a breakwater slope is subjected to investigations. An...master thesis 2016

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

Willemsen, G. (author)The objective of this study is to identify the mechanisms that drive the morphodynamic behaviour of the sediment disposals in the subtidal zone north of the intertidal shoal Walsoorden. The morphological development of the sediment in the subtidal zone near this shoal has been monitored and measured. The gathered bathymetric data show that one...master thesis 2016

Pearson, S.G. (author)Low-lying tropical islands are highly vulnerable to the effects of sea-level rise and climate change. Most pressing is the threat posed to their fresh water supplies by wave-induced flooding. This thesis attempts to generalize previous site-specific studies of flooding on coral atolls and apply it in a framework that can be used for early...master thesis 2016
