Bemelmans, Mark (author)By combining the RACMO2.3 RCM output with GRACE non-tidal ocean and atmospheric pressure anomaly as well as geo-center motion corrections from 2003 to 2017, a physics-based model to estimate the vertical displacement of the Greenland surface bedrock is created. This model is able to convert the mass and pressure anomalies into vertical...student report 2019

Ambagts, Lindert (author)In submerged conditions groynes add resistance to a river, thereby increasing the water levels for a particular discharge. Groynes are modelled in two ways, either they are included in the bed topography when the grid resolution is sufficiently high or with a sub-grid parametrisation when the grid cell-size is larger than the geometry of the...master thesis 2019

Zazueta Martinez, Isis (author)Vortex-induced vibration or as well-known as VIV is a phenomenon that has caught the attention of engineers along history. VIV is related to many engineering fields. In the offshore industry, it is of importance for risers that extract oil from the subsoil, and tethered anchors for floating units.<br/>The main aim of the thesis is to model the...master thesis 2019

Hoonhout, Daniel (author)A brief study to understand the physical driving forces concerning ice growth. These forces are mathematically described in a basic prediction model. Further complexity to the model is added through adopting various assumptions about the physical factors involved.bachelor thesis 2019

Overduin, Maarten (author)In the past years, climate change has caused an increasing number of extreme weather events. In the Netherlands this is, for instance, reflected by the growing amount of extreme rainfall events. This creates big issues for water management authorities like water boards. Water boards are often responsible for local streams, that cannot handle the...master thesis 2018

Saez Armenteros, Aurora (author)Interdigitated back contact silicon heterojunction (IBC-SHJ) solar cells have demonstrated 26.6\% world record efficiency by combining outstanding passivation of Si thin film layers with the absence of front shading contact in the crystalline silicon (c-Si) absorber bulk. Furthermore, this type of solar cell merges advantages of c-Si with Si...master thesis 2018

Granero Moneva, Nacho (author)Airbus Friedrichshafen is working on the development of a milliNewton HEMPT (High Efficiency<br/>Multistage Plasma Thruster): an electrostatic thruster concept suitable for small satellite<br/>propulsion. An engineering model, the mN-μHEMPT, has been built and tested in vacuum,<br/>generating thrust levels in the range of 1 to 5 mN. Although the...master thesis 2017

Steenbeek, Jorden (author)High-fidelity hybrid RANS/LES methods are unable to accurately predict the transition from laminar to turbulent boundary layer flows. Usually resulting in an incorrect prediction of boundary layer characteristics. In this study, a hybrid RANS/LES model was developed for transitional boundary layer flows. The transitional kkL-omega turbulence...master thesis 2017

Gerry Julian Faturrochman, Gerry (author)Integration of bifacial photovoltaic module with a noise barrier (PVNB) has emerged as one of the promising innovation in the building integrated PV (BIPV) system application. By having the advantage to absorb both the light incident from the front and the rear side of the cell, bifacial PV module is suitable for a vertical installation...master thesis 2017

De Koning, R.J. (author)The study into sand wave dynamics in South Channel has commenced after large dune forms were observed in monitoring campaigns following the channel deepening project of the Port of Melbourne. The project involved deepening of the harbour berths and channels, but more importantly, it involved the deepening of South Channel in Port Phillip Bay....master thesis 2017

Baran, P.K. (author)The large-scale 3D printing technology created by a group of partners led by DUS Architects allows fabricating components made of thermoplastic polymers with Fused Deposition Modelling technique. These components can be used as moulds for concrete elements, providing freedom of form and unprecedented optimization opportunities. In this report...master thesis 2016

Schilperoort, B. (author)In hydrological models evaporation is often still quite uncertain. Potential evaporation is used as input, but the modelling of plant stresses is not always accurate enough to describe the behaviour in reality. In situ measured actual evaporation data is rare, and doing measurements is time consuming and expensive. With the advance of satellite...master thesis 2016

Verwer, K. (author)Induction heating is used to heat offshore pipeline field joints to a required temperature for application of anti-corrosion coatings. The objective of induction heating is to obtain a uniform surface temperature of typically 230 ± 10 °C in a time-span of minutes. The desired temperature profile of the field joint, also known as heat profile is...master thesis 2016

Oborin, N. (author)Muscle spindle is an organ of proprioception that plays an important role in neuro-muscular control of the human joints. It is composed of intrafusal fibers, the mechanical properties of which determine the afferent response of the spindle. Intrafusal fibers are not homogenous: they are composed of many sarcomeres, have localized fusimotor...master thesis 2016

Lips, T.J. (author)This study shows how historical topographic maps of the Zuid-Limburg mining area can be used to estimate the effects of mining activities on vertical ground surface motion. Coal has been the most important energy supplier for the Netherlands from the 19th century until the discovery of the large Slochteren gas field. After 1960, mining of coal...master thesis 2016

Heuff, F.M.G. (author)In this study the prediction of stratocumulus occurrence by the Large-Eddy Simulation model DALES was investigated. The performance of DALES was compared with that of the large-scale weather model RACMO. A method was developed which can consistently initialise the model by assimilation of observations in addition to large-scale weather model...master thesis 2016

Janssen, M. (author)This thesis was conducted at KVE Composites Group (The Hague, The Netherlands). The aim of this thesis is to create an aeroelastic model that can be used during the design phase of these rotor blade projects. An aeroelastic was created consisting of a Ritz-Hamilton structural model, a lifting line quasi steady aerodynamic model with two inflow...master thesis 2015

Knol, M.I.C. (author)Many reservoirs are considered unsuitable candidates for Enhanced Oil Recovery. Surfactant-Foam flooding, also referred to as Low-Tension-Gas flooding, could be a solution to enhance the oil recovery in tight, saline or high temperature reservoirs. SF-flooding combines reduction of the oil-water interfacial tension by surfactant, with mobility...master thesis 2015
