Abstract
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. Furthermore a comparison between the used models is made.
