Hardhat time series analysis tool

Hardhat time series analysis toolHardhat is a time series analysis tool developed for use with the Coastal Research instrumented tripods. It splits and calibrates Campbell FSF and Campbell ASCII files. The calibration includes correction for air pressure and conversion to surface elevation. Wave and current parameters can be computed from measured time series. It includes a sophisticated viewing function (Graph) with zoom and pan function. read more

Wave and current flume

Wave and current flumeThe wave and current flume of the laboratory for physical geography is a flume for studying waves and currents in a controlled environment. The flume is available for educational purposes and research. Academic research experiments can be performed at low costs, and secondary school experiments are free of charge. read more

Crescentic sandbar behaviour

Crescentic sandbar behaviourNearshore sandbars often exhibit remarkable alongshore-periodic undulations in their height and cross-shore position. These so-called crescentic sandbars are characterised by horizontal flow patterns with rip currents. During storm periods, the sandbars are almost immediately straightened again due to strong undertow currents. In double-barred systems, the shape of the outer bar may govern the evolution of the inner bar, introducing coupled patterns. In this project field observations (video images) and numerical models are combined to determine the conditions under which the outer crescentic sandbar (a) controls the morphology of the inner bar and (b) is reshaped into a shore-parallel linear bar. read more
