Sjoerd Warringa
Sjoerd obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2014. As a next step, he pursued an MSc in Offshore and Dredging Engineering at the Delft University of Technology, developing a particular interest in fluid mechanics and dredging processes specifically. During his graduation thesis, published at the WODCON XXII in Shanghai, he focused on numerical modelling of water-sediment flow in order to enhance cable burial processes. Currently, he is working as Research and Development Engineer on cable installation and burial activities for DEME Offshore.

Modelling the waterjet cable trenching process on sand dunes
Cables for offshore wind farms in the North Sea are buried for protection. A highly variable seabed topography influences the trenching process in sandy soils. A model has been developed to estimate the influence of sand dunes on the trenching process.
