The issue of climate change has fostered the innovation of new technology in an attempt to curb the rising emissions, with the energy sector being one of the biggest contributors of carbon emissions. Renewable Energy has shown promise in reducing the emissions by up to 32 %. However the problem of intermittency of<br/>renewable energy sources is...

Urban physics is a multi-scale and interdisciplinary field, that combines science and engineering for the study of physical processes in urban areas. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is considered a powerful tool for the study of these processes. In the context of microscale phenomena these processes refer to the transfer of heat and mass in...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) believes that multiple solutions must be deployed simultaneously to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Carbon, Capture &amp; Storage (CCS) is an unavoidable technique within this portfolio as an intermediate solution. CCS requires transport of CO<sub>2</sub> through...

Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) is one of the most common symptoms in the human respiratory system and causes a considerable financial burden to both individuals and society. Currently, NAO detection is troublesome to achieve, which can influence the accuracy and effectiveness of clinical surgery. Although several objective measurement techniques...

The concept of a spaceplane, a launch system that is a combination of an airplane and a rocket, is one of the most promising concepts of sustainable access to space. Along its trajectory, it experiences most extreme conditions with frequently opposing design requirements, making it one of the most complicated challenges in aerospace engineering....

This work sets out the creation, verification and demonstration of an automated end-to-end tool for the multi-point fluid-dynamic optimization of turbomachinery. Taking into account multiple operating conditions during optimization aims to benefit the overall performance of turbomachines which are characterized by off-design operation and to...

The Nuclear Research and consultancy Group (NRG) performs CFD simulations to improve the safety of nuclear installations and conducts research leading to new computational methods. One of the problems encountered in nuclear installations is that vital parts of the reactor, such as the fuel rod bundle, corrode over time. Corrosion leads to...

The goal of this work is to evaluate the aptness of generative adversarial networks (GANs) for use as surrogate reduced order fluid models. In contrast to previously published work, the focus is placed on analyzing the specific effect of adversarial training, by comparing GAN outcomes with those from an identical generator network trained...

Perforated monopiles show promise in providing a better alternative to the commonly used jacket-like substructures used in intermediate water depths in the range of 30 to 120 m. By introducing perforations near the vicinity of the splash zone the wave loads on the monopile can be mitigated and the fatigue damage reduced, which is the main...

Wind turbines have proven to be an essential part for the green energy mix. However, the focus was mainly on the horizontal axis wind turbines whereas the vertical axis wind turbine did not receive that amount of attention. In this work a straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine (SB-VAWT) is explored which can temporary adjusts its rotor...

With an ever increasing demand for sustainable energy, limitations of current sustainable technologies are studied widely. In wind farms, the so-called wake effect provides the biggest limitation on wind farm total power output. Using wind from the unaffected boundary layer to re-energize the wind flow in the wake provides a method of limiting...

Planting trees is widely considered an effective way to create a good urban wind environment, improve air quality, mitigate heat island effects, improve pedestrian wind comfort and reduce building energy consumption. To assess tree effects and find suitable tree setups in urban areas, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations can be used.<br...

The most effective way to decrease the cost of energy of wind turbines is to increase the rotor diameter. Therefore, this calls for the need of aerodynamic research on large wind turbines. This thesis project will tackle the topics addressed by the IEA Wind Task 47 which is focused on the aerodynamic analysis and comparison of the newly proposed...

The Dutch Electric Aviation Centre possesses and uses a Cessna Skymaster 337F as an experimental flying testbed to help gain knowledge to aid the transition towards hybrid/ electric aviation. The interaction between the rear propeller slipstream and the horizontal tail has been likened to the interaction of propeller-wing configurations seen on...

Weirs are constructed inside rivers to manage the water level. On the one hand they need to be designed sufficiently strong to prevent failure or destruction, while on the other hand they need to be economically feasible. If a structure is designed too strong, unnecessary costs are made and the structure becomes too expensive.<br/><br/>One of...

The optimization of heat transfer in turbulent upward pipe flows is a very common problem in engineering, due to the wide range of applications. However, this set-up is usually categorised as mixed convection flow, which means that gravity plays an important role. Sometimes, it might lead to heat transfer deterioration. This research will...

When sailing in heavy seas, it happens that the water washes over the bow. This shipping of water is generally divided into two types. The term white water is used when the water is more of a spray and is generally harmless. Green water is more violent and can pose a danger to the crew and structures on board. <br/><br/>Research on green water...

To this date, simulating the dynamics of a fluid remain extremely expensive for most practical design prob- lems. The large range of length and time scales to be resolved makes it especially computationally heavy. In engineering applications, the standard is still the RANS approach for CFD modelling. Most commonly the so- called two-equation...

During the last years the demand for vegetarian products has increased. A subgroup of these vegetarian products consists of meat analogs, which are products that resemble meat in its functionality and are prepared in a similar fashion. One of the companies producing these meat analogs is Rival Foods. Rival Foods has been working on a production...
