Internship Allowable wave overtopping for Human Safety

Amersfoort, Utrecht, Nederland Royal HaskoningDHV Voltijd

Royal HaskoningDHV is currently at the forefront of developing a climate resilience masterplan and formulating adaptive measures for integrated coastal protection along Singapore's City-East Coast. The objective is to safeguard both the population and critical infrastructure from flooding. Integral to this design is the close proximity of people to the seawater, raising critical questions about human safety under varying adaptation scenarios.

The challenge lies in understanding human safety concerning flow velocity and water depth at the crest of a coastal structure. Existing theoretical frameworks provide some insights, but empirical relations for estimation remain limited. To bridge this gap, we are exploring the potential of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models like CoastalFOAM. The aim is to establish a robust relationship between velocity and water depth at the crest under different conditions and different representative designs, thereby enhancing our understanding of human safety in coastal environments.


Thesis subject:

The Resilience and Maritime department is looking for a motivated MSc-thesis student with an interest in wave-structure interaction and numerical modelling. This research will focus on understanding the relationship between velocity and water depth at the crest for different conditions, utilizing our in-house CFD modeling tool, CoastlFOAM. The study will involve creating representative cross-sections and establishing boundary conditions based on the unique context of the Singapore City-East Coast project.

Even though every thesis is unique, there are multiple reference theses available:

  • An efficient numerical approach to model wave overtopping of rubble mound breakwaters, Marco Moretto 2020, Delft University of Technology
  • Hydrodynamic modelling of wave overtopping over a block-covered dike, Luc Barendse 2021, University of Twente
  • Numerical estimation of wave loads on crest walls on top of rubble mound breakwaters using OpenFOAM, Marisol Irias Mata, 2021 Delft University of Technology
  • Numerical estimation of upward pressure differences over a placed block revetment under wave loading on a dike, Martijn van Heest, 2023 Delft University of Technology
