About Gosse Oldenziel

Gosse Oldenziel works in the Hydraulics for Infrastructure and Industry department. He is an expert in advanced measurement techniques, such as (Stereo) Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), which are used by Deltares in the validation of 2D and 3D models and studies for water, soil and subsoil.

His work includes measurements and simulations of:

• Reducing salt intrusion at a lock by means of a salt screen and bubble screens;
• Various studies into pipe flows, including for future pressure drop wastewater systems (slurry flow) and fundamental research into water hammer and extremely high-resolution PIV measurements (1 pixel) of turbulence in pipe flow;
• Free surface vortices in wastewater pumping stations;
• Various measurement techniques for detailed measurements of both wave fields and flow fields for offshore wind turbines.

He also conducts research into making optical measurement techniques more efficiently applicable in hydraulic facilities.
