Over het archief
In 2012 verloren we Jean Jacques Peters, voormalig ingenieur van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium (1964 tot 1979) en internationaal expert in sedimenttransport, rivierhydraulica en -morfologie. Als eerbetoon aan hem hebben we potamology (http://www.potamology.com/) gecreëerd, een virtueel gedenkarchief dat als doel heeft om zijn manier van denken en morfologische aanpak van rivierproblemen in de wereld in stand te houden en te verspreiden.
Het merendeel van z’n werk hebben we toegankelijk gemaakt via onderstaande zoekinterface.

| Abstract |
The COB will be 30 m long, 30 m wide and will have a variable water depth of up to 1.4 m. A central pit will allow experiments e.g. with mooring lines at a depth in excess of 4 m. The basin will have state-of-the-art generating and absorbing wavemakers and submerged bidirectional propellers that will drive the recirculation current (velocities of up to 0.4 m/s) across the underground current tank. It will be possible to generate wave-current interactions in the same, opposite and oblique directions. The design of the current generation system has been achieved using both numerical and experimental models. Flow velocity fluctuations are expected to be smaller than 10% RMS. For wind generation, a portable device capable of generating speeds up to 15 m/s is foreseen. The basin will be equipped with state-of-the-art instruments for wave, current, wind and topographic measurements. The COB will allow users to conduct tests for coastal and offshore engineering projects as well as for research. The basin is expected to be operational in 2017. This paper presents an overview of the basin’s capabilities, the ongoing work, and some results of the design work. |
