Nieuwenhuis, M.T.A. (author)During gas production offshore, also water is produced. There are gas numbers available per well, but the water production is only known for several wells together. This thesis tries to model the water production per well based on the available data. This is done through a least-squares method. The report shows that it is very difficult to find...master thesis 2014

Kuijk, D. (author)The urban area is complex. It consists of buildings, roads, green areas and surface water. The subsurface is just as complex. Interaction between groundwater and drainage, seepage from deeper groundwater aquifers and interaction with surface water make it difficult to determine what is happening. The urban area is also sensitive to damages, both...master thesis 2015

Noordhoek Hegt, Floris (author)Many regions in the world depend heavily on expensive desalinated water for fresh water consumption, in particular tropical areas. Current mainstream desalination technologies (Reverse Osmosis and Multi-Stage Flash Evaporation) are quite energy intensive and thus costly. Today’s challenge is to design a desalination system that could run with...master thesis 2017

Van Lelyveld, W. (author)Global turmoil concerning fossil fuels, questions relating to sustainable sources of energy and difficulties with sharing knowledge led to the creation of the Energy Transition Model (ETM) in the start of 2008. The ETM aims to be a transparent, comprehensive, fact-based, and independent model about energy related matters, ranging from CO2...master thesis 2010

Taverne, P. (author)This thesis presents a case study in modeling and verifying a POSIX-like file store for Flash memory. This work fits in the context of Hoare’s verification challenge and, in particular, Joshi and Holzmann’s mini-challenge to build a verifiable file store. I have designed a simple file store and implemented it in the form of a Promela model. This...master thesis 2009

Schoenmaker, Lars (author)In this thesis diffuser performance will be simulated with computational fluid dynamics, which will be done with the program Ansys Fluent. The expanding geometry creates an adverse pressure gradient and under certain conditions there will also be separation.<br/><br/>At first a relative simple simulation will be done of a one-directional...master thesis 2017

Borst, J. (author)This study presents a consistent anatomical dataset, containing the musculoskeletal geometry (muscle attachment sites, fibre length, tendon length, bony landmarks) and muscle contraction parameters (physiological cross sectional area, optimal fibre length) of the complete neck musculature. A dissection experiment was performed on the left side...master thesis 2009

van der Pluijm, Ricardo (author)The Flying V is an innovative new aircraft concept currently being developed by the faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology. This aircraft is a flying wing having a large sweep on the inner section, and a small sweep angle at the outer, giving the aircraft its characteristic V shape. The objective of this research is...master thesis 2021

Oud, M. (author)Models are an important tool for decision making. However, in order to get proper results, these models must be validated and only be used in situations where the conditions of the validation apply. Blind trust on a model can lead to unexpected and inaccurate results. Advancements can be made to reduce the number of situations where this occurs....master thesis 2016

Van Twillert, M.J. (author)This report describes two methods to analyse the effect of sloshing on ship motions. The first method applies linear potential theory on both the barge and the internal tanks. For the barge the radiation, diffraction and incoming wave potentials are solved. For the internal tanks only the radiation potential is calculated, as there are obviously...master thesis 2015

Baggio, Gianpaolo (author)This thesis is a study on the cracking behaviour of road bases constructed with cement bound reclaimed asphalt (also known in the Netherlands as AGRAC). It is decided to focus on this material because of the few researches available on the topic although the material being widely applied, at least in the Netherlands. The<br/>goal of adding...master thesis 2017

Gawehn, M.A. (author)Coral reefs are hard structures that front many coasts in tropical and subtropical climates and protect them against wave attack and erosion. Despite reducing incoming wave energy by up to 98%, coral reefs are not a guarantee that mainland or island coasts are safe from being flooded. This was demonstrated by a series of wave-driven flooding...master thesis 2015

Wibisono, A.M. (author)Biomass as a renewable energy resource and a carbon neutral feedstock has a big potential to replace fossil fuel. Gasification as one of thermochemical process routes in biomass utilization draws attention with regards to its broad product range. The circulating fluidized bed with the advantages of higher and rapid conversion performs as the...master thesis 2016

Noroozian, A. (author)BitTorrent has turned into the most popular P2P file sharing protocol and is used for various purposes such as Video on demand and Media Streaming. The fundamental problem with P2P networks in general is that quality of service highly depends on altruistic resource sharing by participating peers. Many peers freeride on the good intentions of...master thesis 2010

Van Leeuwen, Y.B. (author)Maintenance dredging, as a result of port and channel sedimentation, can have a large share in overall maintenance costs of a port. A smart design can minimize the amount of maintenance dredging and thus improve the profitability of a port but also the long-term sustainability. As the preliminary design stages are often decisive for the final...master thesis 2015

Rousselot, L. (author)Stenosis is the main reason of the failure of a vascular access in haemodialysis. Its presence engenders an increase of the morbidity and an increase of the hospitalization for hemodialysed patients and its early detection consists thus in an important issue. Digital phonoangiography or digital acoustical analysis is an alternative to the...master thesis 2014

Baines, P.M. (author)There are still important knowledge gaps regarding stability and safety of bicycle riding. Every year around 60,000 people need hospital treatment for single sided accidents in the Netherlands alone. Supporting the need for understanding lateral bicycle dynamics. One of the prominent disturbances on lateral bicycle and rider behaviour is...master thesis 2016

Nonnekes, L.E. (author)To assess, and validate the most recent interpretations on the Panther Tongue\rq{}s depositional history we use the conceptual process-response model, 2Dstratsim. The focus of this study is on the Ksp040 parasequence which reflects the wave-dominated shoreface along the southern Wasatch Plateau. The associated Panther Tongue delta to the north...master thesis 2014

Betlem, M.H.T. (author)An urban area development can be a long and on?going process. Reasons for this are for example de size of the project, the amount of involved parties, the interest (financially) and the opportunities. To keep the process going a couple of tools can be used. An important tool is meeting and negotiating. Just putting conflicting parties’ together...master thesis 2012

Ravenstijn, E. (author)Bed degradation in a number of Dutch river branches, like the Bovenrijn, can cause various problems in the near future. At low waters the navigation depth at the non-erodible layer near Emmerich can become too small. Other problems could be lower ground water levels and stability of structures in and near the river, like groynes. To diminish...master thesis 2009
