start of the project: October 2015
In March 2016 the
Interim Thesis
has appeared and a
presentation
has been given.
The Master project has been finished in November 2016
by the completion of the
Masters Thesis
and a final
presentation
has been given.

Summary of the master project:
Various solvers are known for water level prediction of seas and oceans.
These solvers are all based on some form of the Shallow Water Equations.
At the other hand there is also some software developed to prediction
flooding of low lying countries when a dike is broken. Both problems are
difficult and can take a lot of computing time. In this project we
investigate if it is possible to couple both simulators. There are some
approaches known, however due to excessive computing times they can only
be used for 1-10 kilometers of shores. We try to make these solvers more
efficient such that hundreds of kilometers of shores can be taken into
account.
