Brust, S.G. (author)The importance of reliable and efficient launch vehicles pervades the many industries which rely on space based hardware. An experimental investigation has been performed into the effects of nozzle length and exhaust plume presence on a FESTIP axisymmetric base flow at Mach 0.7. Three different nozzle lengths (L/D = 0.6, 1.2, 1.8) were tested to...master thesis 2017

Ishwardat, N.K.S. (author)During this thesis research an attempt is made to introduce a computational lightweight horizontal wind retrieval method applied on scanning Doppler radar velocity data. Horizontal wind parameters are the wind speed and wind direction. If know they are known in a vertical extend, they form a wind profile. In a typical approach, horizontal wind...master thesis 2017

de Lange, J.G.A. (author)The demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has increased rapidly over the last 30 years. LNG is Natural Gas (NG) that is cooled down until it becomes liquid. LNG is easier to transport over long than NG distances and also in larger quantities. Before the LNG can be used it is made gaseous again, for example at an LNG receiving terminal. In this...master thesis 2017

Gabrielse, B.C. (author)In the automotive industry the development process is driven by a highly competitive market, calling for shorter and more cost-efficient development procedures. Computer aided engineering (CAE) is one possibility to achieve these reductions and becomes an inevitable tool in the development process. However, CAE does not provide the subjective...master thesis 2017

van den Berg, A. (author)In order to accurately predict passing vessel interaction forces, different simulation tools have been developed over the years. Many of these are based on a double body flow approach. MARIN (a hydrodynamic research institute located in the Netherlands) developed a simulation tool called the FlowInteraction (FI) module, which is part of the...master thesis 2017

Vermeulen, C. (author)There is a highly elite club of individuals on this planet that has a very particular set of characteristics. To be part of this elite establishment one must have a minimal net worth equal to or exceeding 30 million US$ and be the owner of a yacht longer than 25 meters from bow to stern. The individuals who are part of this group have the...master thesis 2017

Carlier, M. (author)A high percentage of hospital admissions is due to surgical interventions. The operating theatre, which holds the operating rooms (ORs), is therefore one of the key resources in hospitals. Managing the operating theatre and finding an optimal OR schedule is complex due to the many factors that influence it. Scheduling a surgery in an OR...master thesis 2017

Awadalla, T. (author)Gas flow in fractured nano-porous shale formations is complicated by a hierarchy of structural features, ranging from nanopores to microseismic and hydraulic fractures, and by several transport mechanisms that differ from standard viscous flow used in reservoir modelling. In small pores, self-diffusion becomes more important than advection, also...master thesis 2017

Boon, K. (author)In this thesis I develop a Machine Learning method to combine galactic redshift estimates of previous authors into an aggregate estimate. I investigate weather combining earlier results into a single estimate is a worthwhile effort. Disagreement between the earlier results is used as a metric the quality of estimation. This disagreement is...master thesis 2017

Bouhuys, C.W. (author)On one hand, welded hulls of aluminium high speed craft are found to have a decreased displacement. On the other hand, ship stability is determined based on an inclination test and the design lines plan. The combination of reduced displacement, results of an inclination test and the design lines plan reduce the stability. This reduction is...master thesis 2017

Wanders, T.W.H. (author)The European Union aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% to 95% below 1990 levels by 2050. For the Netherlands, a reduction of 80% implies that a limited amount of 30 Mton CO2 per annum may be emitted in 2050. Such a reduction could especially affect the Dutch refining industry as it is a large emitter of CO2 with a total of 11 Mton of...master thesis 2017
