Abstract | This thesis evaluates the reliability and validity of different water height and flow velocity measurements from experiments which simulate wave overflow and overtopping of the levees in the Hedwige- and Prosperpolder. The measurement techniques which are evaluated are based on electromagnetic flow velocimetry, particle image velocimetry, ultrasonic water height measurement and infrared water height measurement. |
