Examination of high Reynolds number flow around a spinning cylinder with different turbulence models

Examiniation of high Reynolds number flow around a spinning cylinder with different turbulence models

This thesis work is a starting point for the Flettner-rotor field of the wind-assisted ship propulsion research of TU Delft and POLIMI. During the development of this project, the flow around a bare spinning cylinder is investigated, introducing the Flettner-rotor without its end plate. The simulations were carried out in 2D and 3D with the...

Modelling the effects of hardware for devices used in an underwater acoustic positioning system based on channel estimation

When modelling the propagation of an underwater acoustic signal the effects of the hardware that generated and detected it need to be taken into account. This enables one to isolate and remove the effects of the hardware on a channel measurement test signal when performing underwater localisation, allowing for a more effective analysis of the...

Designing a viable service concept for enriching the electric-bike experience

This project, carried out for the Dutch startup company Spaac, is a graduation project at the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, at the technical university Delft. The assignment consists of three parts. Firstly, research investigates the user needs in urban individual transportation and people’s perception of the role of the electric...
