9th Conference on Physical Modelling in Coastal Engineering -
Coastlab 2024 (The Netherlands, May 13-26, 2024)
Date: May 13-16,
2024
Venue: Delft, the
Netherlands
Summary: The 9th
Conference on Physical Modelling in Coastal Engineering - Coastlab24 will be
held in May 13, 2024 to May, 16 2024. Welcome to join in! The following is the
detailed introduction: CoastLab is a conference whose focus is on Physical
Modelling in Coastal Engineering and Science. CoastLab is organized under
the auspices of and in collaboration with the Coastal and Maritime Hydraulics
Committee of the International Association of Hydro-Environment Engineering and
Research (IAHR). Coastlab24 builds on the success of previous conferences
in Porto (2006), Bari (2008), Barcelona (2010), Ghent (2012), Varna (2014),
Ottawa (2016), Santander (2018) and Zhoushan (2020).
Theme and
Topics: In the coastal zone, many developments are taking place, with much
attention to themes like:
?
Climate
change impacts, adaptation, mitigation
?
Multifunctional
and nature-inclusive designs
?
Development
of ports and marine terminals
?
Wave,
wind and tidal energy
?
Industrial
outfalls
To cater for
these developments continuous development in modelling capabilities is
required, in topics such as:
?
Coastal
hydrodynamics, coastal processes
?
Coastal
flooding, flood prevention, shore protection
?
Coastal
and ocean structures, breakwaters, revetments
?
Scour,
sediment transport, morphology
?
Wave-structure
interactions, loading, response
?
Wave
run-up and overtopping
?
Laboratory
technologies, measurement systems
?
Synoptic
measurement systems (e.g. laser scanning, imaging, motion tracking, Particle
Image Velocimetry)
?
Coastal
field measurement and monitoring
?
Wave
synthesis, generation, and analysis
?
Scale
effects and uncertainty analysis
?
Composite
modelling and validation (physical, numerical, field, and AI)
?
Extreme
events – assessment and mitigation
?
Tsunami
hydrodynamics, impacts, and mitigation
?
Mixing,
water quality
?
Physical
modelling case studies
?
Navigation,
ship motions
Presentations
will be given, and discussions will be held about these topics. The programme
includes PhD workshops, welcome reception, technical tour plus banquest, and
optional post conference tour. Moreover, an exhibition with companies and
suppliers will be present.
