Van Heerde, S. (author)Johnstone and Coleman (2012) were among the first to opt the idea of wind farms with mixed tower heights and predicted an increased power production due to the decrease of losses to TKE production from the mean kinetic energy balance. In the current study, the performance of infinite wind farms with alternating tower heights imposed by a...master thesis 2015

Van Kruchten, T.J.G. (author)An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an excessive localized swelling of the abdominal aortic wall. AAAs are often lethal when they rupture and constitute a significant health risk in the developed countries. CFD simulations can help predict formation, progression, and rupture of AAAs by the use of hemodynamic parameters such as the Oscillatory...master thesis 2015

Drost, L.J. (author)Interaction of particles in a viscous fluid with a wall and with other particles is often observed in phenomena like sedimentation, erosion and filtration processes. With the increasing computational power there is now the possibility of simulating such particle-laden flows from a micro-scale perspective by direct application of no-slip/no...master thesis 2015

Van der Steen, M. (author)The main objective of the present experimental investigation is to study the turbulent reacting flow field in the region where a stable premixed flame jet (Re = 3250 and ?= 1.3) impinges normally on a cooled cylinder and gain a better understanding of the effect of the cylinder wall temperature. PIV measurements were done in a plane normal to...master thesis 2014

De Jonge, A.P. (author)A too small optical accessible area of the old Measurement Section of the Cavitation tunnel made monitoring the upcoming experiments, with for instance high speed cameras, impossible. This was its main imperfection. A proper amount of optical accessible area needed lead too this conversion. The new Measurement Section designed has an optical...master thesis 2012

Poortman, S.E. (author)This project focuses on studying and modelling the flow in the sailing area of the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition, located partly in Portland Harbour and partly in Weymouth Bay, in order to provide accurate and reliable current forecasts for the Dutch Olympic Sailing Team. From literature it follows that the main flow in the area is the tidal...master thesis 2011

De Wit, P.J. (author)A research project was started at the Delft University of Technology in order to study the interaction between waves as well as a current and a muddy bed. For this purpose several experiments were made on artificial clays. In the present report only flume experiments on China Clay are discussed. In the experiments made special attention was paid...report 1994

Rijsberman, F.R. (author)In river engineering practice it is often required to set up a mathematical model for (part of) a river. A standard computer programme for one-dimensional unsteady flow is of ten available. The input data for the model are obtained through measurements in the prototype. The aim of this study is to provide information on this subject which could...master thesis 1981
