Struiksma, A.F. (author), Smilde, J.A. (author), Van Houten, R.S. (author)This "designers' manual" is made during the TIDO-course AR0531 Innovation and Sustainability This manual explains why mass timber is the sustainable substitute for conventional materials and how it can be implemented in the design. It is intended for architects who usually always build in steel and concrete, because they are not familiar with...student report 2014

Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Hoekstra, A.Y. (author), Van der Zaag, P. (author)This paper reviews the changing relation between human beings and water since the Industrial Revolution, a period that has been called the Anthropocene because of the unprecedented scale at which humans have altered the planet during this time. We show how the rapidly changing world urges us to continuously improve our understanding of the...journal article 2014

Van Doorn, J.S. (author)Since the 1950s the city of Lima, capital of Peru, has drastically grown both in size and inhabitants due to a process of rapid urbanization, by which the city has expanded horizontally in an informal way. Informal settlements have occupied peripheral areas, producing a centre-periphery pattern of urban development. Because the activity centres...master thesis 2014

Van Witteveen, K. (author)This thesis investigates the applicability of the Probabilistic Inference for Learning COntrol (PILCO) algorithm to large systems and systems with time varying measurement noise. PILCO is a state-of-the-art model-learning Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm that uses a Gaussian Process (GP) model to average over uncertainties during learning....master thesis 2014

(author)Projections of extreme precipitation are of great importance, considering the potential severe impacts on society. In this study a recently developed regional, non-stationary peaks-over-threshold approach is applied to two transient simulations of the RACMO2 regional climate model for the period 1950–2100, driven by two different general...journal article 2014

Markensteijn, G.C. (author)This thesis is about the beginning of a global tide model in DFlow-FM, a project by Deltares. The first focus lay on finding the best grid that can be used for this model. We tried to grids, a rotated lat-lon grid and a squarely grid with local refinement. After calculating the RMS-value it was found that the local refined grid gave the best...bachelor thesis 2014

Van Grunsven, F. (author)This report concerns the experimental validation of recent numerical predictions of pipe blockage during the vertical hydraulic transport of ore for the deep sea mining industry. A hydraulic circuit, incorporating an 8.5 m riser pipe of 99.4 mm inner diameter, was built to identify and quantify the dominant transport mechanisms during conveying,...master thesis 2014

Karimi, P. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author)The scarcity of water encourages scientists to develop new analytical tools to enhance water resource management. Water accounting and distributed hydrological models are examples of such tools. Water accounting needs accurate input data for adequate descriptions of water distribution and water depletion in river basins. Ground-based...journal article 2014

Sun, Z. (author)The micro vortex generator (MVG) is used extensively in low speed aerodynamic problems and is now extended into the supersonic flow regime to solve undesired flow features that are associated with shock wave boundary layer interactions (SWBLI) such as flow separation and associated unsteadiness of the interaction system. Numerous experimental...doctoral thesis 2014

Cai, H. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Toffolon, M. (author)The effect of river discharge on tidal damping in estuaries is explored within one consistent theoretical framework where analytical solutions are obtained by solving four implicit equations, i.e. the phase lag, the scaling, the damping and the celerity equation. In this approach the damping equation is obtained by subtracting the envelope...journal article 2014

Tramper, M.J.R. (author)Both divergence and convergence are important drivers for the development of new ideas, and consequently products becoming drivers for innovation. Starting from this notion, this thesis investigates the areas of creative problem solving and decision-making, taking into account practices from new product development. Drawing inferences from...master thesis 2014
