Shoja, Aydin (author), van der Neut, J.R. (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)Geophysicists have widely used least-squares reverse-time migration (LSRTM) to obtain high-resolution images of the subsurface. However, LSRTM is computationally expensive and it can suffer from multiple reflections. Recently, a target-oriented approach to LSRTM has been proposed, which focuses the wavefield above the target of interest....journal article 2022

Fadili, Ali (author), Murtaza, Ali (author), Zitha, P.L.J. (author)Water injection into the subsurface, inherent in improved hydrocarbon recovery and extraction of geothermal energy, often suffers from injectivity decline, even when water carries only nano-sized particles at low concentrations. This study investigates the propagation of such nano-sized particles experimentally and by modelling. Water with...journal article 2022

Fusco, Daniela (author), Messali, F. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Addessi, Daniela (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)Terraced houses built in the Netherland after 1980 are often characterized by the use of large units connected at corners by continuous thin layer mortar joints. Unlike the running bond pattern, usually modelled as a rigid connection, the vertical continuous connection may fail in shear and influence the global seismic capacity of the entire...journal article 2022

Shakibanezhad, R. (author), Sadighi, M. (author), Hedayati, R. (author)Study of porous materials, in particular closed-cell foams, has always attracted researchers’ interest due to the advantages these materials offer in applications where low weight, buoyancy, insulation, or energy absorption is of importance. In this study, quasi-static compressive experimental tests are conducted for low-, medium-, and high...journal article 2022

(author), Efendi, Joni (author), Elbanna, Ahmed E. (author), Dubernet, Pierpaolo (author), Abidin, Hasanuddin Z. (author)Hazardous tsunamis are known to be generated predominantly at subduction zones. However, the 2018 Mw 7.5 Palu (Indonesia) earthquake on a strike-slip fault generated a tsunami that devastated the city of Palu. The mechanism by which this tsunami originated from such an earthquake is being debated. Here we present near-field ground motion (GPS...journal article 2022

Werthmüller, D. (author), Mulder, W.A. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)3-D controlled-source electromagnetic data are often computed directly in the domain of interest, either in the frequency domain or in the time domain. Computing it in one domain and transforming it via a Fourier transform to the other domain is a viable alternative. It requires the evaluation of many responses in the computational domain if...journal article 2021

Werthmüller, D. (author), Rochlitz, Raphael (author), Castillo-Reyes, Octavio (author), Heagy, Lindsey (author)Large-scale modelling of 3-D controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) surveys used to be feasible only for large companies and research consortia. This has changed over the last few years, and today there exists a selection of different open-source codes available to everyone. Using four different codes in the Python ecosystem, we perform...journal article 2021

Ali, Liaqat (author), Makhdoom, Nageena (author), Gao, Yifan (author), Fang, P. (author), Khan, Sikandar (author), Bai, Yong (author)A numerical model in slice configuration was applied to the Central Andaman Sea in order to derive metocean operational and design criteria associated to internal solitary waves which are large amplitude interfacial waves. For that purpose, a 10 year hindcast was generated. The model was driven by tides at the open boundary and included...journal article 2021

(author)The first part of the paper presents a partitioned fluid–structure interaction (FSI) coupling for the non-uniform flow hydro-elastic analysis of highly flexible propellers in cavitating and non-cavitating conditions. The chosen fluid model is a potential flow solved with a boundary element method (BEM). The structural sub-problem has been...journal article 2020

Lampaert, S.G.E. (author), Quinci, Federico (author), van Ostayen, R.A.J. (author)This paper discusses a new type of hybrid journal bearing in which a magnetorheological fluid is used in combination with local magnetic fields, such that the hydrodynamic and hydrostatic working regimes are not compromised. This demonstrates the potential of using the concept of rheological texture in bearings. The performance of this new...journal article 2020

Liu, H. (author), Pisano, F. (author)Predicting the cyclic response of soils is still challenging in many geotechnical applications. In this area, the continual efforts on the constitutive modelling of cyclic sand behaviour demand new and reliable dataset for model validation - even more so for loading conditions involving numerous loading cycles ('high-cyclic' loading). This paper...journal article 2019
