Wang, Y. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author), Daniilidis, Alexandros (author), Khait, M. (author), Saeid, S. (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author)The efficient operation and management of a geothermal project can be largely affected by geological, physical, operational and economic uncertainties. Systematic uncertainty quantification (UQ) involving these parameters helps to determine the probability of the focused outputs, e.g., energy production, Net Present Value (NPV), etc. However,...journal article 2023

Lepillier, B.P. (author), Daniilidis, Alexandros (author), Doonechaly Gholizadeh, Nima (author), Bruna, P.B.R. (author), Kummerow, Juliane (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author)The use of the subsurface and the exploitation of subsurface resources require prior knowledge of fluid flow through fracture networks. For nuclear waste disposal, for the enhancement of hydrocarbon recovery from a field, or the development of an enhanced geothermal system (EGS), it is fundamental to constrain the fractures and the fracture...journal article 2019

Daniilidis, Alexandros (author), Nick, H.M. (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author)Direct Use Geothermal Systems (DUGS) are increasing their installed capacity worldwide and denser developments with multiple doublets are becoming more common. Interference between doublets therefore becomes an additional concern to subsurface uncertainties. Faults can be either barriers or conduits to flow and can affect the fluid pathways...journal article 2021

Ezekiel, Justin (author), Ebigbo, Anozie (author), Arifianto, Indra (author), Daniilidis, Alexandros (author), Finkbeiner, Thomas (author), Mai, P. Martin (author)The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has vast geothermal energy resources. When developed, these markedly strengthen the country's goals of achieving a carbon-neutral economy. To demonstrate the feasibility and techno-economic performance of small-scale, hydrothermal well doublet systems for direct use in KSA, we perform reservoir and wellbore...journal article 2022

(author), Bastesen, Eivind (author), Daniilidis, Alexandros (author), Garcia, Oscar (author), Torabi, Anita (author), Wheeler, Walter (author)Understanding fractures and fracture networks is essential for the investigation and use of subsurface reservoirs. The aim is to predict the fractures and the fracture network when there is no direct access to subsurface images available. This article presents a universal workflow to numerically compute a discrete fracture network by combining...journal article 2020

Daniilidis, Alexandros (author), Nick, H.M. (author), Bruhn, D.F. (author)As the code was actively developed during the time of publication, the published data suffer from an error with regards to the discount factor applied during the NPV calculation. The published data NPV has been calculated for periods of 100 days, while the discount rate applied was the quoted Annual Discount Rate (ADR) value of the manuscript...journal article 2020

Frens, J.C. (author), Bekebrede, G. (author), Quist, J.N. (author)In order to support transition to a circular economy, visions and strategies need to be developed for which participatory backcasting can be used. This paper reports on the effects of using serious games as a possible supporting (social) engagement and design tool for vision development in participatory backcasting and has been applied to...journal article 2024

Kazemzadeh, Khashayar (author), Afghari, A.P. (author), Cherry, Christopher R. (author)Shared spaces for active mobility prioritize the safety and comfort of vulnerable road users by segregating them from motorized vehicles. However, the diverse speed regimes of pedestrians and cyclists can lead to encounters that may affect their comfort. In addition, the very perception of comfort may vary across individuals depending on their...journal article 2024

Tieleman, Orson (author), Hofland, Bas (author), Tsouvalas, A. (author), de Almeida Sousa, E. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)This paper establishes a computationally efficient model to predict flood gate vibrations due to wave impacts including fluid–structure interaction. In contrast to earlier models, composite fluid domains are included to represent the situation of a flood gate in a dewatering sluice with the presence of an overhang that causes the confined-wave...journal article 2021

Schilperoort, B. (author), JIMENEZ RODRIGUEZ, C.D. (author), van de Wiel, B.J.H. (author), Coenders-Gerrits, Miriam (author)Storage change in heat in the soil is one of the main components of the energy balance and is essential in studying the land-Atmosphere heat exchange. However, its measurement proves to be difficult due to (vertical) soil heterogeneity and sensors easily disturbing the soil. Improvements in the precision and resolution of distributed...journal article 2024

Cai, Z. (author), Wiertlewski, M. (author)The sensation of touching virtual texture and shape can be provided to a touchscreen user by varying the friction force. Despite the saliency of the sensation, this modulated frictional force is purely passive and strictly opposes finger movement. Therefore, it is only possible to create forces along the direction of movement and this...journal article 2023

(author)In this research, in situ high-temperature electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) mapping is applied to record and analyze the migration of the α/3 interfaces during cyclic austenite-ferrite phase transformations in a medium manganese steel. The experimental study is supplemented with related 3D phase field (PF) simulations to better...journal article 2019

Wewer, M. (author), Aguilar Lopez, J.P. (author), Kok, M. (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author)Backward erosion piping is an internal erosion process, which compromises the stability of water retaining structures such as dams and levees. In this paper, we propose a numerical solution that combines a 2D Darcy groundwater solution with Exner's 1D sediment transport mass conservation equation. As an estimate of sediment transport, we...journal article 2021

Bomers, A. (author), Aguilar Lopez, J.P. (author), Warmink, JJ (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author)Structures integrated in a grass-covered dike may increase erosion development. Currently, safety assessment methods for flood defences are only applicable for a conventional grass-covered dike and the effects of structures on dike cover erosion are poorly understood. Since many dikes have a road on top, it is important to study the effect of...journal article 2018

Schenato, Luca (author), Aguilar Lopez, J.P. (author), Galtarossa, Andrea (author), Pasuto, Alessandro (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author), Palmieri, Luca (author)This paper describes the implementation of an FBG sensor to measure water levels in a dike. The sensor is based on a 3D-printed mechanical transducer through which the external pressure is converted into longitudinal strain exerted on the fiber. An additional FBG integrated within the sensor measures temperature and is used to compensate for...journal article 2021

Chotkan, S.A. (author), van der Meij, Raymond (author), Klerk, Wouter Jan (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Aguilar Lopez, J.P. (author)In this paper, we aim to identify factors affecting susceptibility to drought-induced cracking in levees and use them to build a machine learning model that can identify crack-prone levees on a regional scale. By considering the key relationship between the size of cracks and the moisture content, we observed that low moisture contents act as...journal article 2022

Aguilar Lopez, J.P. (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author), Gerke, Horst H. (author)Dual-permeability models assume that the complete porous media system can be represented by two different interacting subsystems: the matrix and the fracture pore domain. For some soils like fractured clays, the fracture domain may be empty, which makes its physical behavior differ significantly from capillary flow. Our main hypothesis is...journal article 2020

Larsen, R.B. (author), Guo, W. (author), Atasoy, B. (author)This paper considers a decentralized container transport system in which two decision-makers are involved in getting a container from its origin to its destination: a logistics service provider (LSP) and a flexible service operator (FSO). While the LSP receives shipment requests from shippers and controls the movement of containers over a...journal article 2023
