Phase-locked stereoscopic PIV measurements of the turbulent swirling flow in a dynamic model of a uniflow-scavenged two-stroke engine cylinder

It is desirable to use computational fluid dynamics for the optimization of in-cylinder processes in large two-stroke low-speed uniflowscavenged marine diesel engines. However, the complex nature of the turbulent swirling in-cylinder flow necessitates experimental data for validation of the used turbulence models. In the present work, the flow...

Designing a Course for Stimulating Entrepreneurship in Higher Education through Serious Games

Enhancing the offer for entrepreneurship education is an important challenge for the nowadays knowledge societies. The eSG project is addressing this issue by analysing the added value that could be contributed by employing serious games (SGs) as a tool for allowing students – in particular technology students - to become familiar, mainly...

Integrated, Ecosystem-based Marine Spatial Planning: First Results from International Simulation-Game Experiment

Marine ecosystems around the globe are increasingly affected by human activities such as fisheries, shipping, offshore petroleum developments, wind farms, recreation, tourism and more. Whereas the necessity and urgency to regulate and plan competing marine spatial claims is growing, the planning and regulation of these claims is even more...

Gaming as the method to integrate modeling participatory approaches in interactive water management

At the science - policy interface there are several reasons to combine models with the participatory process to facilitate the complex policy making process but the communication of the two sides is often too hard to generate any meaningful results. In this paper we argue that to close the communication gap the rationale of the Meta – rule of...

Het politiek spel rond computergames: Voorbij de emoties

(Serious) gaming in de publieke sector: Meer dan een trukendoos?

Het valt moeilijk te ontkennen dat spelsimulaties, of serious games, intrigerende instrumenten zijn om te experimenteren en te leren; niet alleen als didactiek of voor bedrijfs- en managementtrainingen maar ook in het kader van beleids- en organisatieontwikkeling in de publieke sector. Ondanks de huidige aandacht voor (serious) gaming is de...

Van tekentafel naar bestuurlijke implementatie: Gamen met bestuurders in de Rechtspraak en het Openbaar Ministerie

In deze bijdrage laten we zien dat gaming een effectieve methode is om een socio-technisch systeemontwerp, zoals een nieuw informatiesysteem, financieringsstelsel of besturingsmodel integraal uit te proberen en te testen voorafgaand aan de vaststelling of invoering ervan. We bespreken twee cases waarin gaming op deze wijze is gebruikt: de...

Spelsimulaties 'revisited': Serious gaming in de publieke sector

In 1995 heeft Bestuurskunde aandacht besteed aan een voor de bestuurskunde wat ‘exotisch’ onderwerp, namelijk ‘spelsimulaties’. Het betreffende themanummer bestond uit vier bijdragen onder gastredactie van prof. Jac Geurts (e.a.), hoogleraar Beleids- en Organisatiewetenschappen in Tilburg. Inmiddels zijn we meer dan een decennium verder. Een...

Cluster optical coding – from biochips to counterfeit security

Spatially tuned resonant nano-clusters allow high local field enhancement when excited by electromagnetic radiation. A number of phenomena has been described and subsequently applied for the construction of novel nano- and bionano-devices. Easy to manufacture, cost efficient and high throughput transducers using metal cluster resonance...

Wall-Shear Stress Measurements with Quantitative Infrared-Thermography

Orientation on quantitative IR-thermografy in wall-shear stress measurements

Wall-shear stresses are highly important in the aerodynamic design of aircraft, because they determine the drag and thus the fuel consumption of an airplane. Due to this importance many different measurement techniques have been developed. Most of these techniques are intrusive, which means that the flow is disturbed by the presence of a...

Dynamics of droplet formation at T-shaped nozzles with elastic feed lines

We describe the formation of water in oil droplets, which are commonly used in lab-on-a-chip systems for sample generation and dosing, at microfluidic Tshaped nozzles from elastic feed lines. A narrow nozzle forms a barrier for a liquid–liquid interface, such that pressure can build up behind the nozzle up to a critical pressure. Above this...
