Prest, Emmanuelle I. (author), Martijn, Bram J. (author), Rietveld, Matthijs (author), Lin, Y. (author), Schaap, Peter G. (author)Sediment formation in drinking water distribution systems can lead to brown water at customer taps. Previous studies have shown that sediment formation is closely linked with (micro)biological processes in the distribution system, however the mechanism is not fully understood. Most available studies on discoloration or sediment formation...journal article 2023

Sturm, Patrick Obin (author), Manders, Astrid (author), Janssen, Ruud (author), Segers, Arjo (author), Wexler, Anthony S. (author), Lin, H.X. (author)The chemical transport model LOTOS-EUROS uses a volatility basis set (VBS) approach to represent the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in the atmosphere. Inclusion of the VBS approximately doubles the dimensionality of LOTOS-EUROS and slows computation of the advection operator by a factor of two. This complexity limits SOA...journal article 2023
