Ascencio, Jaime A. (author), Jacobsen, Niels G. (author), McFall, Brian C. (author), Groeneweg, Jacco (author), Vuik, V. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)To address the important research question of whether implicit (bottom friction) or explicit (stem drag) dissipation models are most appropriate for the prediction of wave attenuation due to aquatic vegetation, the Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) spectral wave model has been extended with an explicit frequency-dependent dissipation model...journal article 2022

Lahaye, D.J.P. (author), Nakate, P.A. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Juretic, F. (author), Talice, Marco (author)The operation of large industrial furnaces will continue to rely on hydrocarbon fuels in the near foreseeable future. Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation is expected to deliver key insights to implement measures to further reduce pollutant emissions. These measures include the design optimization of the burners, the dilution of...journal article 2022

Hosseinimehr, S.M. (author), Piguave Tomala, Janio (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Al Kobaisi, Mohammed (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author)We present the projection-based embedded discrete fracture model (pEDFM) for hexahedral corner-point grid (CPG) geometries, for the simulation of hydrothermal processes in fractured porous media. Unlike the previously-developed pEDFM for structured box grids, our new development allows for the modeling of complex geometries defined with...journal article 2022

(author)Fluctuating electricity prices offer potential economic savings for the consumption of electricity by flexible assets such as Electric Vehicles (EVs). This study proposes an operational bidding framework that minimizes the charging costs of an EV fleet by submitting an optimized bid to the day-ahead electricity market. The framework consists...journal article 2022

Wang, Y. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author)Natural or induced fractures are typically present in subsurface geological formations. Therefore, they need to be carefully studied for reliable estimation of the long-term carbon dioxide storage. Instinctively, flow-conductive fractures may undermine storage security as they increase the risk of CO2 leakage if they intersect the CO2 plume. In...journal article 2022

Lashley, Christopher H. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), van der Meer, J.W. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Vuik, V. (author)Many coastlines around the world are protected by dikes with shallow foreshores (e.g. salt marshes and mudflats) that attenuate storm waves and are expected to reduce the likelihood and volume of waves overtopping the dikes behind them. However, most of the studies to date that assessed their effectiveness have excluded the influence of...journal article 2022

Wang, L. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author)The past decades have witnessed an increasing interest in numerical simulation for flow in fractured porous media. To date, most studies have focused on 2D or pseudo-3D computational models, where the impact of 3D complex structures on seepage has not been fully addressed. This work presents a method for modeling seepage in 3D heterogeneous...journal article 2022

Wang, L. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author)Simulation of fracture contact mechanics in deformable fractured media is of paramount important in computational mechanics. Previous studies have revealed that compressive loading may produce mode II fractures, which is quite different from mode I fractures induced by tensile loading. Furthermore, fractures can cross each other. This will...journal article 2022

Ton, A.M. (author), Vuik, V. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)The morphodynamic behaviour of low-energy beaches is poorly understood, compared to that of exposed coasts. This study analyses the morphological development of sandy, low-energy beaches and the steering hydrodynamic processes. Four densely-monitored study sites in the non-tidal lake Markermeer in the Netherlands offered a unique opportunity...journal article 2021

Qiu, Yue (author), van Gijzen, M.B. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)In this article, we study preconditioning techniques for the control of the Navier–Stokes equation, where the control only acts on a few parts of the domain. Optimization, discretization, and linearization of the control problem results in a generalized linear saddle-point system. The Schur complement for the generalized saddle-point system...journal article 2021

Markensteijn, A.S. (author), Romate, J.E. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)Optimization is an important tool for the operation of an energy system. Multi-carrier energy systems (MESs) have recently become more important. Load flow (LF) equations are used within optimization to determine if physical network limits are violated. Due to nonlinearities, the solvability of the OF problem and the convergence of the...journal article 2021

We accelerate the convergence of a Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (PCG) method achieving speed-ups of factors up to...journal article 2021

Lahaye, D.J.P. (author), El Abbassi, M. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author), Talice, Marco (author), Juretic, F. (author)This work studies how non-premixed turbulent combustion in a rotary kiln depends on the<br/>geometry of the secondary air inlet channel. We target a kiln in which temperatures can reach values above 1800 degrees Kelvin. Monitoring and possible mitigation of the thermal nitric-oxide (NOx) formation is of utmost importance. The performed reactive...journal article 2021

El Abbassi, M. (author), Lahaye, D.J.P. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)One of the quickest ways to influence both the wall temperature and thermal NOx emissions in rotary kilns is to change the air–fuel ratio (AFR). The normalized counterpart of the AFR, the equivalence ratio, is usually associated with premixed flames and studies of its influence on diffusion flames are inconsistent, depending on the application....journal article 2021

Nakate, P.A. (author), Lahaye, D.J.P. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)Thermal nitric-oxide (NOx) formation in industrial furnaces due to local overheating is a widely known problem. Various industries made significant investments to reduce thermal NOx by varying the operating conditions and designs of the furnace. It is difficult to find the optimal operating conditions that minimize NOx formation in the...journal article 2021

Vijai Kumar, S. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)We present a simple and fast algorithm for computing the exact holes in discrete two-dimensional manifolds embedded in a threedimensional Euclidean space. We deal with the intentionally created "through holes" or "tunnel holes" in the geometry as opposed to missing triangles. The algorithm detects the holes in the geometry directly without...journal article 2021

Hinz, J.P. (author), Jaeschke, Andrzej (author), Möller, M. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)This paper proposes a shape optimization algorithm based on the principles of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) in which the parameterization of the geometry enters the problem formulation as an additional PDE-constraint. Inspired by the isoparametric principle of IGA, the parameterization and the governing state equation are treated using the same...journal article 2021

Dwarka, V.N.S.R. (author), Tielen, R.P.W.M. (author), Möller, M. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)Finding fast yet accurate numerical solutions to the Helmholtz equation remains a challenging task. The pollution error (i.e. the discrepancy between the numerical and analytical wave number k) requires the mesh resolution to be kept fine enough to obtain accurate solutions. A recent study showed that the use of Isogeometric Analysis (IgA)...journal article 2021
