Following the good experience during a.o. the Olympic Games 2012 in the UK, Sva\u0161ek Hydraulics will again assist the Dutch sailing team during the Olympic Games 2016 by providing specific current forecasts of the sailing area.\r\n\r\nIn order to validate the by Sva\u0161ek Hydraulics in-house developed numerical flow\r\nmodel (FINEL2D) of the Brazilian coast, current data has been obtained by means of a current measuring campaign. Late March 2013, the Sva\u0161ek team has set off to Rio de Janeiro to perform the current measurements.\r\n\r\nThe measurements have been performed with a vessel mounted AWAC. Both the\r\nflow velocity and flow direction over the full water depth have been measured\r\nduring five 13-hour measuring campaigns. During these campaigns, the current has\r\nbeen measured along four different transects for spring and neap tide.\r\n\r\nThe obtained data has proven very useful to the model validation, since the current patterns in the area are very complex. By now the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/model-onderzoek\/finel\/\">FINEL<\/a> flow model has been successfully validated. It is already for use at training sessions on the way to the 2016 games and during the Olympic event itself.\r\n\r\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/project\/olympische-spelen-2016\/\">forecasts<\/a> assisted the Dutch team to win two gold medals by Marit Bouwmeester and Dorian van Rijsselberghe during the Olympic Games 2016."},"slider":[{"image":1721,"video":""},{"image":1717,"video":""},{"image":1719,"video":""},{"image":1723,"video":""},{"image":1725,"video":""},{"image":1727,"video":""}],"expert_guy":{"left":{"title":"More information?","content":"Please contact Marloes van den Boomgaard.","linkedin_link":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/marloes-van-den-boomgaard-5159056\/","email":"boomgaard@svasek.nl"},"right":{"title":"Marloes van den Boomgaard","designation":"Project leader","photo":1074}},"cta":{"title":"MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SVA\u0160EK OR OUR EXPERTISES?","text":"Please contact us or make an appointment.","link":{"title":"CONTACT US","url":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/contact\/","target":""}},"custom_links":{"linked_url":""},"hide":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1728"},{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=1728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
