Transdisciplinary (TD) research plays a crucial role in addressing the complex challenges of climate adaptation. Despite popularisation of TD research, ambiguity remains in the specific implementation of this approach. As more projects aim to adopt TD approaches, more clarity is needed to structure the organisation and implementation of TD...

While the West-Port of Amsterdam is undergoing a big transformation to a more sustainable future-oriented industry, 70.000 new homes will be built right at the border of city and industry as part of development project Havenstad. The municipality has an ambition to realize a datacentre of 500MW capacity, which is four times the size of the...

Current estimates show that the presence of unmanned aviation is likely to grow exponentially over the course of the next decades. Even with the more conservative estimates, these expected high traffic densities require a re-evaluation of the airspace structure to ensure safe and efficient operations. One structure that scored high on both the...

Research background<br/>Plastic debris in the environment consists primarily of plastic consumer waste. One of its leading causes is the lack of waste collection systems in developing countries. Actions need to be taken to overcome this issue, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) seems to be an effective solution for encountering plastic...

On-board electric motors can be used to drastically reduce the fuel usage during the taxiing phase of aircraft, leading to cost reductions for airlines and lower amounts of harmful emissions. This study analyses the current state of this innovation and its potential impact on aviation. On a global level, full adoption of electric aircraft...

In early design stages of aircraft, component sizing is to a large extent based on semi empirical methods, which are generally lacking for unconventional aircraft configurations. This increases the uncertainty of the performances of the generated design, such as its stability and controllability. This work aims at using a more physics-based...

Methodology <br/>Agriculture is an important sector to provide in our needs. Since 2000, the arable land per farmer increased with 66%. To help farmers managing their increasing amount of arable land, it is important to develop new techniques in example based on remote sensing data. One of the key parameters for agricultural management is the...

To combat the emission of greenhouse gasses and the corresponding climate change, emission reduction goals have been established in the recent Paris Agreement. In order to meet these reduction goals and minimise the global average temperature increase, implementation of renewable energy sources is critical. Wind energy is one of the fastest...

Previous studies have investigated the remote appearance of Earth-like exoplanets in the prospect of retrieving biosignatures of planets orbiting extrasolar stars, utilizing the variation of (polarized) flux. However, these studies did not use horizontally inhomogeneous models that include (1) daily cloud observations of planet Earth accounting...

Over the past few decades, new technology-based firms (NTBFs) have been considered an important engine of economic development. Consequently, a better understanding of the characteristics and attributes of these firms has become a primary goal for researchers and policy makers. While numerous studies found evidence of the relation between growth...

With this research the landside departure processes of four airports have been simulated using a discrete event simulation. By increasing today’s passenger numbers the bottlenecks of each of these airports are determined. An optimization to the used equipment has been performed in order to make the process more efficient. Furthermore, the...

To limit global warming, greenhouse gases need to substantially be reduced in all sectors of the economy (IPCC, 2014). The Netherlands has translated this to ambitious goals towards a more sustainable environment. It aims to reach a 40% CO2 emission reduction compared to 1990 and have 27% of the total generated energy be produced through...

In this report a district heating system is analyzed at the Tata steel site. A case study is made for a number of buildings, which are currently heated with a gas boiler. A computer model is developed to calculate the optimal piping path and diameters for such a network. The heat losses of this network are calculated with the complex potential...

Laminar to turbulent transition has an important role in the aerospace domain in view of its impact on aerodynamic drag and, regarding the high velocity regime, heat transfer. State of the art computational methods, like DNS, LES and RANS are found to be too expensive or rely on case dependent turbulence models to be used for obtaining...

This thesis reviews large scale power plant investment processes in the Netherlands based on the bounded rationality perspective. This leads implementation recommendations for use in an Agent-based model. The analyses comprise of a literature review, review of empirical results (confidential interviews) and analysis of Agent-based modeling....

Automatic detection of humans is an important part of many security and surveillance applications. Automatic processing diminishes the effect of human errors on the detection and allows extensive analysis after detection. Radar has certain advantages for human detection because of its all-weather and day and night capability, as well the fact it...
