The Netherlands is a highly urbanized area. In addition to flooding from the sea due to storm surges and high water discharges from rivers, flooding from major lakes is also a threat. Since 2011 there is a new system in operational use (24 hours per day, 7 days per week), for the prediction of flooding at Lake IJssel, Lake Marken, and the lakes bordering them. This system, RWsOS Meren (Genseber...

Onshore wind can significantly affect wave overtopping process and increase mean discharge. Thus, the should be an important variable in coastal design process. However, despite many researches have analyzed influence of on overtopping, there is still a lack exhaustive knowledge about this phenomenon. To further analyze effects, CFD model FLOW-3D has been used to investigate at vertical seawall...

This paper presents a recent numerical study conducted by researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on a point absorber wave energy conversion (WEC) system using a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS)-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The device we studied was a two-body floating-point absorber (FPA) that operates predominantly in heave and generates energy from t...

This paper presents a new and easily repeatable method for assessing the susceptibility of glacial lakes to outburst floods (GLOFs) within the Peruvian region of the Cordillera Blanca. The presented method was designed to: (a) be repeatable (from the point of view of the demands on input data), (b) be reproducible (to provide an instructive guide for different assessors), (c) provide multiple r...
