Mooi, Martijn (author)In the near future, travelling in vehicles will no longer be in regular vehicles, but in automated vehicles. The share of automated vehicles is predicted to increase significantly within 20 years. Passengers in automated vehicles will engage in non-driving tasks, such as sleeping, reading, working or just otherwise spending time on their phone....master thesis 2023

Dutruel, Benjamin (author)The startup Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) is developing the RFA ONE orbital launch vehicle. A significant hurdle for its closed-loop guidance is the need to fully deplete the third stage for insertion during the first flight, which results in lengthy burn-arcs and complexity not managed properly by traditional guidance algorithms. Additionally,...master thesis 2023

Ntagkras, Dimitris (author)As the energy transition gains momentum, the development of effective energy storage technologies is crucial. Among these technologies, batteries are of utmost importance as they store chemical energy that can be converted into electrical energy. The operation of batteries is a complex process that involves the interplay of material technology,...master thesis 2023

de Fuijk, Dirk (author)Adequate modeling of the unsteady aerodynamics during flow separation is critical for effective pilot training in Flight Simulation Training Devices. Over the years, a stall modeling method rooted in Kirchhoff's theory of flow separation has gained popularity due to its relative simplicity and suitability for parameter identification from flight...master thesis 2023

Chen, Anxiang (author)The wave attenuation of vegetation plays an increasingly important role in flood control in coastal areas. Past studies have found that the interaction of waves with vegetation mainly depends on hydraulic conditions and vegetation characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to build vegetation models and quantify vegetation characteristics...master thesis 2022

DELFOSSE, Alexandre (author)Since 2019, the FAA and the EASA impose to all airline pilots to follow, as part of their training, a stall and recovery training. To mitigate the risks, this training takes place in ground-based simulators. To make it happen, models of the aircraft behaviour at high angle of attack need to be developed. Among the different modeling approaches...master thesis 2022

O'Hara, Kian (author)In light of our depleting fossil fuel reserves and the relatively `cheap' extraction of oil and in spite of the highly nonlinear nature of reservoirs, waterflooding has become big business. In recent times, the use of numerical reservoir simulation has not only become possible but has increasingly been used in the petroleum industry in the...master thesis 2021

Boogaard, Menno (author)Human force proprioception has previously been shown to be important in manual control tasks. Recent experiments suggest that force proprioception is more accurate than position proprioception. Still, knowledge about proprioceptive qualities and their relevance in manual control is lacking or inconsistent. This research aims to experimentally...master thesis 2021

Hilwerda, Robert (author)Many firms are occupied with determining the optimal replacement time of machinery. Machine replacement is a complex investment decision that requires the estimation of future cash flows and other parameters. The non-deterministic character of future cash flows has given rise to stochastic models, that take into account this uncertainty. This...master thesis 2020

Lopes Parreira, Pedro (author)Multiple solutions for solving optimal power flow (OPF) have been employed, most of them using a centralised approach. However, there is another approach where every node is responsible for the local problem in order to reach a solution: the decentralised optimal power flow (D-OPF). In this thesis, the aim was to improve the speed and...master thesis 2019

Dijkhuizen, Joël (author)The inertial parameters of a vehicle, which include the mass, centre of gravity position and the moments of inertia, influences the dynamics of the vehicle. Currently, the modelling of the vehicle is done by assuming fixed, conservative, values for the inertial parameters. Knowing the exact values may increase the performance, safety and comfort...master thesis 2019

Sathyadevan, Sruthi (author)Calibration of groundwater models can be done manually by comparing the measured and computed groundwater heads or automatically using algorithms which do the work for you. Modules for this purpose are included in or linked externally to traditional groundwater modelling software and used. One such module PEST (Parameter ESTimation) uses the...master thesis 2018

Zwartbol, Arnout (author)This paper proposes an online motor-parameter-estimator for a PMSM in an EV-powertrain. The proposed method differs from the conventional approach by using thermal measurements to decouple the resistance estimation from the rest of the estimation. Conventional approaches use the voltage and current measurements to estimate all parameters at once...master thesis 2018

den Hartog, Daniel (author)Self-driving vehicles are the future of automotive engineering. Systems that take over control from the driver are developed to be able to interact with the conditions of the road and other obstacles. To develop these systems, developers use vehicle models to simulate the behaviour of the moving vehicle. The systems developed using these models...master thesis 2018

Huisman, Florian (author)A new aviation legislation makes it mandatory for air-carrier pilots to go through stall recovery training on simulators. As a result, new aerodynamic modeling techniques are required to model complex non-linear behavior of the aircraft flight envelope. In 2005, the Multivariate Simplex B-Splines method was developed. MSBS are a true general...master thesis 2017

Gupta, Palak (author)This thesis deals with determination of Resistance (R) value and Heat Capacity of building envelopes in the commonly found residential architecture in Holland i.e. pitched roof houses. The aim of this thesis is to find an easy to implement novel method which gives reasonably accurate results. In the absence of actual sensor data, the data-sets...master thesis 2017

Purba, R.T. (author)This thesis addresses the problem of permeability estimation of an oil reservoir using oil production data, a process known in the oil industry as computer-assisted history matching or data assimilation. Zilko (2012) compared the well-known Ensemble Kalman Filter method for data assimilation with the Non-Parametric Bayesian Beliefs Network (NPBN...master thesis 2015

Zhang, D. (author)Increasingly, the phytoplankton blooms (algal blooms) become a public health concern and a worldwide ecological problem. The Generic ecological model (GEM) plays a very important role to assess ecological quality of the Dutch coastal waters and the southern North Sea. Algal blooms can also be predicted by the GEM model mainly through chlorophyll...master thesis 2012

Zilko, A.A. (author)Lately, the objective of reservoir engineering is to optimize hydrocarbon recovery from a reservoir. To achieve that goal, a good knowledge of the subsurface properties is crucial. The author is concerned with estimating one of the properties of the field: the permeability of a reservoir. To characterize the fluid flow, a two phase (oil-water)...master thesis 2012
