Turbulent boundary layers over surfaces with streamwise-preferential permeability: Experimental investigation into the drag and flow mechanics

Turbulent drag is the largest source of fuel consumption in aviation and forms a significant contribution to climate warming. Recent numerical studies have suggested the ability of surfaces with streamwise-preferential permeability to reduce turbulent friction, and a theoretical framework behind the working mechanism has been proposed. This work...

Redefined Public Floodplain

The design proposal is situated along the edge of the city of Strasbourg, the design deals with a existing flooding problem in the area that currently limits the development of the area. The building looks at providing a new scenic route that crosses through a multitude of different landscapes and elevations. The elevated walkway is meant to...

Octopull: Integrating Static Analysis with Code Reviews

Teams using modern day software engineering practices often incorporate code reviews as a quality assurance step in their development. These code reviews are intended to uncover software quality defects before code changes are incorporated into the project. Certain classes of these software quality defects can be detected by so-called static...

Project Jackal Final Report

For companies that deliver hardware services, the ability to scale dynamically has many advantages. In a special case, a company may have some computing resources available and desire to scale out when traffic peaks. A periodical budget may then be allocated, which needs to be used efficiently. This can be achieved through a combination of...

Effiënt schatten van faalkansen onder monotonie - Engelse titel: Efficient estimation of failure probabilities for monotone reliability problems

A more efficient method for the estimation of failure probabilities using monotonicity, a common feature of reliability problems, is presented and evaluted. The method is based on Monte Carlo simulation.

Dynamic coloured lighting: An interaction concept for the creation and control of atmospheres at home

This thesis is about a project on dynamic coloured lighting and the atmospheres that can be created with such lighting. The graduation project for Philips and TU Delft consisted of two parts. A literature study showed that very little information is available on people’s preferences regarding dynamic lighting. Therefore an extensive user study...

A study on the reconstruction of Los Acantilados Beach, Argentina

The city of Mar del Plata is situated some 400 km South of Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. The city has two main incomes, namely industry and tourism. In summer, beaches of this Atlantic Ocean faced destination are packed with typical Argentine beach tents, which can be rented, and people from all over Argentina come to Mar del Plata....
