Winter, Theun (author)The surge in demand for inland vessel goods transportation has necessitated the operation of larger vessels with increased drafts. These larger vessels generate significant induced loads from their more powerful bow thrusters during berthing and mooring. These loads can lead to scour, which ultimately results in instability of the quay wall. To...master thesis 2024

Been, Coen (author)At the turbulent/non-turbulent interface (TNTI) of a jet flow, momentum is transferred from the turbulent jet fluid to the fluid at rest. This transfer is governed by two mechanisms. One of them is related to the large scales of the flow and the other relates to the small scales of the flow. Which of the two is dominant is still a point of...master thesis 2024

Snyder, Andrew (author)This thesis investigates the erosion process of cohesive soil due to a submerged, moving, inclined water jet. This study provides a visualization and description of the failure mechanics of cohesive soil due to a submerged inclined water jet and develops a new equation for estimating the erosion process of cohesive soil while including the angle...master thesis 2024

Houtkoop, Mariëtte (author)This research aimed to optimize the process parameters of small copper parts printed with binder jetting. The optimisation was distinguished by dividing the parameters in print and post-process parameters. Binder jetting is an additive manufacturing technique that combines layers of the material in powder form with a binder. After the printing...master thesis 2023

Mohan, Adithya Keshav (author)Ceramics are being explored as an alternative material by ASML to replace their stainless steel 316L (SS316L) reticle masking blades. Ceramics offer distinct advantages over stainless steel in the semiconductor industry. While stainless steel exhibits good mechanical strength, ceramics excel in electrical insulation and thermal conductivity,...master thesis 2023

Tziaros, Filotas (author)The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is emergent throughout every industrial sector worldwide. For aviation, this has opened a market gap for small scale electric aircraft configurations (e-V/STOL). These configurations are very diverse and they are classified based on how lift is obtained. However, their flight...master thesis 2023

Wu, Chun-Yen (author)The increasing focus on sustainable living and the need to reduce dependency on fossil fuels has led to a growing interest in renewable energy sources. Among these, the wind energy sector has not only experienced significant growth in terms of numbers but also in size. Larger turbines lead to more severe leading-edge erosion and further increase...master thesis 2023

Veer, Jan (author)Ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm is a dangerous condition which is hard to locate in patients. CFD can be used to assess someone’s risk of suffering from such an aneurysm and also to assess any possible relation of an aneurysm with relevant parameters, like the shape of the aorta or how blood flows into the aorta.<br/><br/>Existing research on...master thesis 2023

Goudswaard, Rik (author)Aircraft emissions can pose a health threat by degrading air quality. The actual pollution footprint of aircraft is however not well understood. This research therefore explores the potential of performing near-runway measurements with low-cost sensor nodes to analyse the plume composition and pollutant contribution of individual aircraft. The...master thesis 2023

Budanko, Toma (author)An experimental investigation is presented in which an array of pulsed jet actuators is used to control a turbulent separation bubble formed on a curved backward facing ramp. The array is positioned upstream of detachment and consists of wall-normal high aspect ratio skewed rectangular jets which generate streamwise vortices in the boundary...master thesis 2023

Formidabile, Martina (author)TOP contoured nozzles, with large area-ratios, are commonly employed in rocket propulsion systems as they feature an excellent thrust-to-weight ratio. A significant shortcoming to this design is that, during the startup and shutdown transients of a LRE, the internal nozzle flow progresses through a series of overexpanded flow states - Free Shock...master thesis 2023

Calis, Ilse (author)Fabricating custom-made ocular prostheses is currently a highly-skilled, labour-intense and non-reproducible process performed by an ocularist. Custom-fit prostheses are made from acrylic using a plaster mould, the iris is hand-painted, and veins are mimicked by adding red embroidery threads. Digital production techniques provide opportunities...master thesis 2022

Bauer, Yorrick (author)A loss of vacuum accident in the hyperloop tunnel will likely occur during its operation, and it may have a severe impact on its operational safety. Nevertheless, the hyperloop tube breach has only been researched superficially.<br/><br/>Two aerodynamic phenomena due to the breach are identified: a (quasi-)steady underexpanded jet and an...master thesis 2022

Aouragh, Bilal (author)After decades of exploitation of hydrocarbons, the offshore facilities constructed for this purpose are nearing the end of their design life and/or economic operation. According to international law, these offshore structures need to be completely removed. Decommissioning of the substructures often requires for soil to be removed in piles to...master thesis 2022
