Zhou, Z. (author), Qu, L. (author), Zou, T. (author)Increased surface runoff generated in urban areas due to larger proportion of impervious surfaces has, in many cases, exceeded the capacity of urban drainage systems. In response to such challenge, this paper introduces the quantitative analysis of pluvial flood alleviation by open surface water systems in the case of Almere in the Netherlands...journal article 2015

Zhou, H. (author), Infante Ferreira, C.A. (author)Hydrate slurry has been reported to be a suitable secondary fluid for refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. The latent heat of CO2 hydrate is 387 kJ/kg under phase equilibrium condition of 7 °C and 30 bar. The utilization of CO2 hydrate slurry in air-conditioning systems is promising in improving the energy efficiency and shifting energy...conference paper 2016

Zhou, Y. (author), van Kampen, E. (author), Chu, Q. P. (author)Flapping-wing MAVs represent an attractive alternative to conventional designs with rotary wings, since they promise a much higher efficiency in forward flight. However, further insight into the flapping-wing aerodynamics is still needed to get closer to the flight performance observed in natural fliers. Here we present the first step necessary...conference paper 2016

Townend, I (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Zhou, Z. (author)Whilst much attention has been given to models that describe wave, tide and sediment transport processes in sufficient detail to determine the local changes in bed level over a relatively detailed representation of the bathymetry, far less attention has been given to models that consider the problem at a much larger scale (e.g. that of...journal article 2016

Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)During an emergency response to an accident or disaster, emergency response actions often need to use various emergency resources. The use of resources plays an important role in the successful implementation of emergency response, but there may be conflicts in the use of resources for emergency actions. According to the emergency response in...journal article 2016

(author), Zhang, Changkuan (author)Morphodynamic equilibrium is a widely adopted yet elusive concept in the field of geomorphology of coasts, rivers and estuaries. Based on the Exner equation, an expression of mass conservation of sediment, we distinguish three types of equilibrium defined as static and dynamic, of which two different types exist. Other expressions such as...journal article 2016

Yang, Y. (author), Zhou, T (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author), Eitelberg, G. (author)The aerodynamic operating conditions of a propeller can include complex situations where vorticity from sources upstream can enter the propeller plane. In general, when the vorticity enters in a concentrated form of a vortex, the interaction between the vortex and blade is referred to as blade–vortex interaction or BVI. The interaction may...journal article 2016
