Theme B) Dynamics in Hydraulic Loads

This project theme aims at reducing the uncertainties in hydraulic loads that affect flood defences. Reducing these uncertainties allows for more optimal designs. As a team, the projects below study foreshore ecosystem dynamics, wave propagation over foreshores and uncertainties in water levels due to river bifurcations.
