  • Aspects of inlet geometry and dynamics

    • Authors: Vu Thi Thu Thuy;  Advisor: Nielsen, P.; Callaghan, David P.;  Participants: - (2013)

  • This thesis contains new analytical approaches as well as laboratory- and field experiments conducted to understand the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic responses of tidal inlets to forcing from tides, river flow and waves on the time scales of closure, flood or storm events. The thesis outcome is effective new tools for authorities managing coastal zones balancing navigation-, shore protection- and socio-economic development purposes. A new method of coastal inlet classification based on dimensionless parameters is presented. These parameters represent the relative strength of the three main forcing agents: tides, river flow and waves. This new classification is applied to 178 inlets along the NSW coast of Australia, and compared with other widely used classification...

  • Storm Surge Modelling for Vietnam’s Coast

    • Authors: Vu Thi Thu Thuy;  Advisor: Hassan, Randa M.M.; Wang, Ir. Zheng. B.;  Participants: - (2003)

  • Vietnam is located near the Northwest Pacific Ocean - the largest storm basin of the world. Thus, Vietnam’s coast with many coastal works, economical zones as well as high density populated regions, is the most vulnerable area under typhoons accompanied with serious storm surges. This is the main reason for the huge damages occuring in the areas. Storm surges threaten not only safety of people’s lives but also coastal structures. Traditional planning, design of coastal projects and coastal zone management usually take into account these effects based on their probability distribution of very limited observed data, which results in a low reliability and safety. Therefore, improving the accuracy in determination of these abnormal water level rise during storm is essential for proper p...
