Presentations Overview

We simulate numerically the interaction of river influxes with tidal propagation in regions of varying complexity for the Scheldt basin (river, tributaries and estuary) and the European continental shelf. While the computational domain for rivers is one-dimensional and extends up to the limit of tid...

Nature-based flood defences receive increasing interest as a viable option for improving flood safety worldwide. A contemporary case is using the ability of saltmarshes to attenuate waves during storm conditions for strengthening coastal flood defences. To ensure a long-term reinforcement of flood p...

Laboratory experiments will be conducted to measure the mean flow and turbulence over fixed concrete low and intermediate-angle estuarine bedforms with the use of an Acoustic-Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). Three sets of experiments are planned with modelled shapes resembling that of the estuarine dunes ...

Transient rip currents transport material between the surf zone and the inner shelf. During directionally spread wave conditions, waves break in finite-length regions, generating vorticity near crest ends. Energy associated with the injected vorticity may be transferred to larger scale eddies that e...

Permafrost coastlines represent a large portion of the world's coastal area and these areas have become increasingly vulnerable owing to the changing climate and its strong dynamics observed over the past decades (Irrgang et al., 2022). The predominant mechanism of coastal erosion in these areas has...
