Zhang, Qingzhou (author), Zheng, Feifei (author), Jia, Yueyi (author), Savic, Dragan (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Real-time hydraulic modelling can be used to address a wide range of issues in a foul sewer system and hence can help improve its daily operation and maintenance. However, the current bottleneck within real-time FSS modelling is the lack of spatio-temporal inflow data. To address the problem, this paper proposes a new method to develop real...journal article 2021

Van Houtte, Jeroen (author), Vandenberghe, Filip (author), Zheng, Guoyan (author), Huysmans, T. (author), Sijbers, Jan (author)Most digital models of the equine distal limb that are available in the community are static and/or subject specific; hence, they have limited applications in veterinary research. In this paper, we present an articulatable model of the entire equine distal limb based on statistical shape modeling. The model describes the inter-subject...journal article 2021
