Water rushed into New Orleans and flooded over 80 percent of the city. The levees and floodwalls adjacent to the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) \u2013 the canal that connects New Orleans with the Gulf of Mexico \u2013 had failed catastrophically.\r\n\r\nIn order to get a better understanding of the flow dynamics of the surge event during Katrina, Sva\u0161ek Hydraulics carried out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/model-research\/en\/finel\/\">FINEL<\/a> numerical flow computations. Various runs with different MRGO-configurations gave insight in the role that the channel played in this major flood.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, Sva\u0161ek Hydraulics did wave simulations with the numerical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/model-research\/swan\/\">SWAN<\/a> model to decipher what happens in the MRGO during passage of major hurricanes and to assess the influence of waves on the erosion of the levees.\r\n\r\nThis study was a joint effort by the Delft University of Technology and Sva\u0161ek Hydraulics.\r\n\r\nView the animation of the New Orleans flooding below."},"slider":[{"image":3643,"video":""},{"image":3637,"video":""},{"image":3639,"video":""},{"image":3647,"video":""},{"image":3645,"video":""},{"image":3641,"video":""}],"expert_guy":{"left":{"title":"MORE INFORMATION?","content":"Please contact Bas van Leeuwen.","linkedin_link":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/bas-van-leeuwen-57600521\/","email":"leeuwen@svasek.nl"},"right":{"title":"Bas van Leeuwen","designation":"Deputy director","photo":944}},"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\/3648","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\/3643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3648"},{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.svasek.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=3648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
