van den Berg, M. (author), Rikkert, S.J.H. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author), Labeur, R.J. (author)Coastal flood risk is expected to increase due to climate change and population<br/>growth. Much of our coastlines is protected by “grey” infrastructure such as a dike.<br/>Dike maintenance and strengthening requires ever increasing capital and space,<br/>putting their economic viability in question. To combat this trend, more<br/>sustainable...journal article 2024

van der Wart, Lieke (author)In the near future, Rijkswaterstaat has the task to replace or renovate many ship locks. With the long-term project, MultiWaterWerk, Rijkswaterstaat aims to standardise components of these ship locks. This thesis contributes to the project by researching the potential benefits of standardisation of the bed protection design at waiting places at...master thesis 2022

Yin, Weiming (author)As a major transit city on the Mediterranean, Marseille’s urban history and landscape are largely defined by the continuous flows of matter and energy over time. Amongst these interwoven flows, the waste flow is one of the striking focal points. This is not only because the city of Marseille has historically struggled to escape its "dirty"...master thesis 2022

Mondeel, Manouk (author)<b>BACKGROUND - </b>The success of the mechanical thrombectomy treatment in acute ischemic stroke is highly dependent on mechanical clot behavior and characteristics like stiffness. This mechanical treatment is tested in clot analogs. Realistic clot analogs could potentially be made in a realistic formation environment. The effects of blood...master thesis 2022

Yan, Xiaohu (author)Currently, the waste processing is always far from residents’ sight because most waste is transported to the centralised factories isolated from the urban context. As a result, Many residents are not aware of the importance of separating and recycling organic waste at the source. This is also same for many high-rise green façade projects, a new...master thesis 2022

Kleist, Tom (author)Zero Emission Fuels B.V (ZEF) is currently in the process of designing and prototyping a sustainable methanol micro-plant, which captures water vapor and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and uses those components to eventually produce methanol. In order to produce methanol, hydrogen is required which is produced from the captured water by...master thesis 2021

des Tombe, B.F. (author)The pressure on groundwater systems, especially in coastal regions, increases as the population rapidly grows. In these regions, management of water tables and fluxes is important to minimize droughts, salt-water intrusion, and flooding. Proper management of such groundwater systems requires knowledge of how groundwater responds to water...doctoral thesis 2021

Christofi, Marios (author)The process in which a smooth laminar flow transits to a chaotic to a chaotic, turbulent state, is a topic of particular interest in the sectors of energy technology and aerodynamics. To study the different paths that can be followed during the transition process, various tools and methods have been developed. A preliminary investigation of the...master thesis 2021

in 't Veld, Maarten (author)One classic challenge in pump operation is the occurrence of cavitation. Cavitation is the forming of vapour bubbles in a fluid due to a local drop in pressure, followed by a subsequent implosion of those bubbles due to an increase in pressure. The vapour formed can significantly decrease pump efficiency and the implosion can be detrimental to...master thesis 2021

Rijnberg, Friso M. (author), van der Woude, S.F.S. (author), van Assen, Hans C. (author), Juffermans, J.F. (author), Hazekamp, Mark G. (author), Jongbloed, Monique R.M. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author), Lamb, Hildo J. (author), Westenberg, Jos J.M. (author)Fontan patients require a balanced hepatic blood flow distribution (HFD) to prevent pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Currently, HFD is quantified by tracking Fontan conduit flow, assuming hepatic venous (HV) flow to be uniformly distributed within the Fontan conduit. However, this assumption may be unvalid leading to inaccuracies in HFD...journal article 2021

Marif, Kizjè (author)The thermal recovery efficiency of High Temperature Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (HT-ATES) systems can be limited due to the effect of buoyancy flow of the injected hot water. This thesis has researched the application of a Multiple Partially Penetrating Wells (MPPWs) as a well design method to counteract the effect of buoyancy flow and...master thesis 2019

Tam, Chi Fung (author)My thesis explores on how to reproduce life inherent in the musical form with architectural composition. The beauty of music attributes to its high degree of life inherent in its holistic form, which is affective, adaptive and generative. In my research paper I approach the quote "I call architecture frozen music "by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe...master thesis 2019

Sriram, Karthick (author)Zero Emission Fuels (ZEF B.V.) is a start-up working to build a sustainable methanol micro-plant. Carbon dioxide and water are obtained from atmosphere. Hydrogen is obtained from captured water through alkaline electrolysis and the hydrogen is used for methanol production. The alkaline electrolyser should run at 50 bar and 90°C with 30% KOH as...master thesis 2019

SAXONI, IOANNA (author)Coastal regions are more and more affected by changes in water levels, storm patterns etc. owing to climate change. Nourishments and other human interventions constitute common practice in order to maintain and secure these areas. However, many aspects, especially the hydrodynamics, are not yet fully understood due to the complexity of the...master thesis 2018

van den Heuvel, Bram (author)The logistics industry is being modernized using information technology and robots. This change encompasses a new set of challenges in warehouses. Recently, some companies have started using robot fleets to sort products and parcels. This thesis studies those systems, and researches the combinatorial problems that arise within them. Three main...bachelor thesis 2018

(author), Verweij, M.D. (author)Typically, ultrasonic flow meters assume linear wave propagation. Nevertheless, if the transducers of an ultrasonic flow sensor excite a pressure wave with a high amplitude, nonlinear wave propagation effects become significant. The appearance of higher harmonics increases the bandwidth of the received signal, which may potentially lead to a...conference paper 2018

Benamar, A. (author), Azirou, S. (author), Tahakourt, A. (author)Dam filters are mainly designed using filter criteria based on the grain size distribution. The main design criteria against which performance is assessed are a criterion for retention of fine particles. The characteristic size of finer fraction influences the size distribution of the filter pore and hence the retention capacity of flowing...conference paper 2017

Boersma, J.Y. (author)For conceptual aircraft design to include accurate laminar flow prediction, a link between modern computational tools to determine laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition and fast sizing methods is required. For swept wings, it is crucial to include the highly unstable three-dimensional crossflow component of the boundary layer. These...master thesis 2016
