Shen, S. (author)Networked Virtual Environments (NVEs) are virtual environments where physically distributed, Internet-connected users can interact and socialize with others. The most popular NVEs are online games, which have hundreds of millions of users and a global market of tens of billions Euros per year. Besides entertainments, NVE techniques are used in...doctoral thesis 2015

Jacobs, P.H.M. (author)In this thesis the development of a java-based, simulation environment is presented. The core concepts are to support multiple decision makers in a distributed context with multiple continuous and discrete formalisms. The environment is named DSOL and is published under the open source LGPL licencedoctoral thesis 2005

Ilkov, I.G. (author)The popularity of animated simulation as a tool for modeling and analyzing business processes is growing. This is due to the fact that it offers a number of benefits for modeling such processes, among which the ability to capture their stochastic character, represent the changes in their characteristics in the course of time and model and...doctoral thesis 2004

Ghezzi, L. (author), Balestrero, A. (author)Modeling and Simulation of Low Voltage Arcs is an attempt to improve the physical understanding, mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of the electric arcs that are found during current interruptions in low voltage circuit breakers. An empirical description is gained by refined electrical measures and fiber optics based imaging. Ways to...doctoral thesis 2010

Li, Z. (author)In numerous radar applications, new problems concerning target detection in a clutter environment may occur. These problems cannot be solved using classical methods on the base of our current utilization of the reflection properties of various objects and their environment. Radar features that may assist in solving these problems are sought in...doctoral thesis 2011

Toxopeus, S.L. (author)The present work was initiated in order to improve traditional manoeuvring simulations based on empirical equations to model the forces and moments on the ship. With the evolution of the capability of viscous-flow solvers to predict forces and moments on ships, it was decided to develop a practical method to simulate the manoeuvrability of ships...doctoral thesis 2011

Valente Pais, A.R. (author)A perception coherence zone (PCZ) designates the range of inertial motion levels that, although not being a one-to-one match with the visual motion levels, are still considered by the subjects as being part of a coherent movement. Two types of PCZs were studied: amplitude PCZs and phase PCZs. Amplitude and phase coherences zones were measured...doctoral thesis 2013

van Reeuwijk, M. (author)This dissertation focuses on turbulent thermal convection, which occurs in a wide range of geophysical and engineering situations, such as the atmosphere, the sun, the earth's mantle, indoor climates etc. The first part of the thesis comprises a fundamental study of Rayleigh-BÉnard convection in a domain with aspect-ratio four. An ensemble of...doctoral thesis 2007

Yücel, G. (author)Transition can be characterized as long-term structural changes in the societal systems, through which the way these systems function change significantly. Both the scope and extent of change, and the nature of the societal systems make transition processes a complex dynamic phenomena to understand. This study explores both methodological and...doctoral thesis 2010

Dalman, R.A.F. (author)SimClast is a basin-scale 3D stratigraphic model, which allows several interacting sedimentary environments. We developed it from 2004 to 2008 at Delft University of Technology and implemented part of the Meijer (2002) code for accounting, loading and storing algorithms. SimClast is a fully plan view 2D, depth-averaged model, allowing the...doctoral thesis 2009

Roza, Z.C. (author)Simulation fidelity is an intrinsic element of any simulation system, one that all its developers and users have to deal with one way or the other. It is commonly recognized by the modeling and simulation community that simulation fidelity is an essential vehicle in properly assessing the validity and credibility of simulation results....doctoral thesis 2005

Hasselaar, B.L.H. (author)In what way would a façade be able to create a comfortable indoor office environment using only the indoor and outdoor environment as its energy sources? The low (average) outdoor temperatures in The Netherlands suggest that the outdoor climate is cold enough to cool the indoor climate through ventilation with fresh outdoor air without resorting...doctoral thesis 2013

Klaver, T.P.C. (author)Tantalum (Ta) is a metal with good properties to act as a diffusion barrier material in computer chips, where it should prevent the mixing of Cu into Si and SiO. The deposition of thin Cu films onto various Ta substrates has been studied through molecular dynamics simulations, using either empirical EAM potentials or Density Functional Theory ...doctoral thesis 2004

Van Wageningen-Kessels, F.L.M. (author)How to model and simulate traffic flow including different vehicles such as cars and trucks? This dissertation answers this question by analyzing existing models and simulation methods and by developing new ones. The new model (Fastlane) describes traffic as a continuum flow while accounting for different types of vehicles. It is reformulated in...doctoral thesis 2013
