Surfacing the submarine myth. An intermedial, myth-critical and cultural-critical analysis of submarine narratives KU Leuven
This project will critically examine the neglected genre of submarine fiction (in literary and visual media) in order to shed new light on the entanglement of political and cultural imaginaries. As soon as the submarine was first introduced as a weapon of war, it became the object of mystification, not in the least because of its unique ability to remain invisible under water and attack out of the blue. Fiction has contributed to what can be ...
Towards an Improved Understanding and Numerical Simulation of Wave and Sediment Dynamics in the Shoaling Zone KU Leuven
Coastal regions worldwide are popular destinations for human beings to live, work and recreate, yet they are widely threatened by erosion and flood risks associated with sea rise and severe storms. The understanding and both short and long-term predictions with numerical simulations of nearshore hydro- and morphodynamics remain thus essential in helping the policy makers to ensure coastal safety and develop cost-effective protection ...
