Ventilation efficiency of street canyons with intersections

When looking at domains with several building densities, the resulting average concentrations caused by traffic when unknown, are often linearised between known building densities. To verify if this assumption is correct, several cases of street canyons with intersections, are simulated using the DALESURBAN model. The traffic is represented by a...

Detection of cavities in levees caused by the muskrat and other mammals by use of geophysical methods

A wide range of wildlife has their habitat around and within levees or other types of embankment structures. In the Netherlands the burrowing of the muskrat causes internal and external erosion, altering the geometry of the earthen structure. As often century-old embankments protect the densely populated land against the water, the burrowing can...

Cavity of Choice

The interweaving of diversities generates an informal in-between space, a 3-dimensional landscape, a neutral zone which increases interaction.

Sand Erosion in Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand

Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS) is a production method to produce heavy oil (>100 cP). It is mainly applied onshore Canada in unconsolidated sand reservoirs. Different theories exist about how the erosion process takes place inside the reservoir. This research project focused on the influence of the grain stress on the sand erosion...
