Contents talk
short background on Deltares compilation of short examples of hydraulic engineering projects at Deltares (some from river eng., most from coastal eng.) two coastal engineering examples in more detail aim of talk, to illustrate: the extent of engineering topics covered by Deltares how data on environmental conditions are used in engineering projects

Detail modelling (near and far field) of dispersion of an industrial outfall plume to optimise the design of the intake and outfall and to minimise impacts on the environment Detail modelling dispersion of sediment plumes of different dredging works to determine impact on environment
Reference
Alternative A
Alternative B
large tidal range (8-10 m) exit only possible during specific high waters
tidelog water level recorder (as backup to recently installed local system)
Flow modelling
Delft3D-FLOW 60 output locations HLES Large Eddy Simulation very detailed and accurate flow fields measured conditions for verification and calibration of flow model
Wave modelling
SWAN input from offshore grid point of UKMO, operational wave model, forecast location on day of exit database of simulations, covering all possible conditions offshore provide translation of (forecasted) offshore wave conditions to output locations along the channel same output locations were used in the flow modelling Hs
draught
tidal benefit reference level allowance for squat allowance for trim
manoeuvring margin
buffer for motions Nautical Depth level survey accuracy siltation buffer Navigation Depth level Design Depth level
Weather windows
existing channel allows for a range of combinations of: high water level, sea waves (Hs, Tp, dir), swell waves (Hs, Tp, dir) weather windows: booklet of combinations, in the form of a lookup table for the day of the exit for given set of conditions, weather windows indicate maximum allowable Hs and Tp of sea waves illustration of use of weather windows: first exit in Astute series, the Astute on 15 November 2009 (HW 8.9 m + CD, 10:02 AM at Dock Door)
Weather forecasts
on-site forecast by UKMO meteorologist on the 14th, 12:00 UTC: series of passing low pressure systems 15th November would provide gap between low pressure systems
conditions on the 16th were forecasted to be very unfavourable based on forecasts preference for 15th November
