Abstract

As associated partner, Aalborg University (AU) has participated in different aspects
of "the Zeebrugge project" . At an early stage AU has developed and tested
an algorithm aiming at deducing incident waves at the prototype breakwater by
reflection analysis.

Secondly AU, has been engaged with the development of a numerical model able to predict the hydraulic response of the Zeebrugge breakwater.

Finally, AU has carried out an extensive number of small-scale model tests (1:65)
with the Zeebrugge breakwater with the aim of investigating scale-effects.
