Against the background of a drastically increased demand of marine proteins, off-bottom, bivalve aquaculture, provides significant potential for production growth when moved into more energetic marine waters. Hence, research, ...

This research is to facilitate the current understanding of long wave dynamics at coasts and during on-land propagation, experimental and numerical approaches are compared against existing analytical expressions for the ...

Large scale hydraulic model tests were carried out to investigate the erosive potentials, bed stability and the performance as scour protection of wide-graded quarry-stone material with fractions ranging from 0.063 - 200 ...

Most studies on multi-use concepts of aquaculture and wind farms explored cultivation feasibility of extractive species, such as seaweed or bivalves. However, recent studies also included the cultivation of crustaceans or ...

The hydrodynamics of estuaries are forced by the tides from the open sea and the river runoff from the catchment area. The hinterland is often low-lying and densely populated and must therefore be protected by dikes. ...

Extreme natural events, like e.g. tsunamis or earthquakes, regularly lead to catastrophes with dramatic consequences. In recent years natural disasters caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, destruction of infrastructure, ...

This paper discusses the possibility to study propagation, shoaling and run-up of these waves over a slope in a 300-meter long large wave flume (GWK), Hannover. For this purpose long bell-shaped solitary waves (elongated ...

The purpose of this publication is to perform a system analysis of new cultivation technology for exposed bivalve farming. The technical feasibility of the new construction, called Shellfish Tower, was assessed. The device ...

This paper presents an experimental investigation that focuses on some predominant flow features that arise around surface mounted vertical obstacles which are exposed to a transient flow. The flow under investigation is ...
