A Rapid Method for Modeling Transient River Response Under Stochastic Controls With Applications to Sea Level Rise and Sediment Nourishment

Liselot Arkesteijn , Astrid Blom, and Robert Jan Labeur - 19/01/2022 - RiverCare

We exploit the distinction between the two temporal scales to model the transient (so time-dependent) phase of channel response, which is the phase wherein the channel approaches its new equilibrium. We show that: (a) besides channel slope, also the bed surface texture cannot keep pace with short-term fluctuations of the controls, and (b) mean transient channel response is determined by the probability distributions of the controls (e.g., flow duration curve rather than flow rate sequence).

Hydrodynamic modelling of wave overtopping over a block-covered flood defence

Barendse, L.; van Bergeijk, V.M.; Chen, W.; Warmink, J.J.; Mughal, A.; Hill, D.; Hulscher, S.J.M.H. - 10/01/2022 - All-Risk

This new model developed in OpenFOAM simulates the wave forces, such as the pressure and the shear stress, on the entire dike profile from the waterside slope to the landward toe. The model can be used to study different designs and locations of the blocks leading to the safest design of the flood defence.

Dit nieuwe model ontwikkeld in OpenFoam simuleert de krachten van de golven, zoals de druk en de schuifspanning, langs het hele dijkprofiel over het buitentalud, de kruin tot aan de binnen teen. Het model kan gebruikt worden om verschillende ontwerpen en locaties van de blokken te bestuderen om tot het beste ontwerp van de dijk te komen.

Geological framework for assessing variability in subsurface piping parameters underneath dikes in the Rhine-Meuse delta, the Netherlands

T.G. Winkels, K.M. Cohen, S.M. Knaake, H. Middelkoop, E. Stouthamer - 05/12/2021 - All-Risk

Stroomafwaartse verfijning van D50 dekzandwaarden wordt veroorzaakt door dalingen in het specifieke stroomvermogen. Sedimentvererving, door omwerking van pre-deltaïsch zand, veroorzaakt lokale variaties in D50 topzandwaarden.

T.G. Winkels, K.M. Cohen, S.M. Knaake, H. Middelkoop, E. Stouthamer - 05/12/2021 - All-Risk

Downstream fining of D50 top sand values is caused by drops in specific stream power. Sediment inheritance, through reworking of pre-deltaic sands causes local variations in D50 top sand values.
