FRATZESKOU, CHRISTINA (author)Urban physics is a multi-scale and interdisciplinary field, that combines science and engineering for the study of physical processes in urban areas. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is considered a powerful tool for the study of these processes. In the context of microscale phenomena these processes refer to the transfer of heat and mass in...master thesis 2022

Decelis Orozco, Pablo (author)In recent years an effort to tackle pollution and achieve sustainability has been made throughout the world. In terms of energy and mobility, this has resulted in low or emission-free mobility implementation. Electric mobility in an urban area requires a well thought development plan, especially when considering the charging infrastructure...master thesis 2022

Haasnoot, David (author)Rain gauges are a powerful tool to measure rain entering a watershed. When water flow through a watershed is modeled, these rainfall measurements are used as inputs. Hydrological models have become increasingly complex as they more accurately represent the physical processes occurring. This is mostly done by increasing the spatial and temporal...bachelor thesis 2022

Noardo, F. (author), Guler, Dogus (author), Fauth, Judith (author), Malacarne, Giada (author), Mastrolembo Ventura, Silvia (author), Azenha, Miguel (author), Olsson, Per Ola (author), Senger, Lennart (author)Growing interest is awarded to the digitalization of the building permitting use case and many works are developed about the topic. However, the subject is very complex and many aspects are usually tackled separately, making it very hard for traditional literature reviews to grasp the actual progress in the overall topic. This paper unveils...review 2022

Mier Escurra, C. (author), Mor, A. R. (author)Recent research has found that Magnetic loop antennas can detect partial discharges (PD) in gas-insulated substations (GIS); however, unbalanced shielded loop (UBSL) antennas are affected by electric field coupling. This research proposes a balanced shielded loop (BSL) adapted for GIS PD sensing with different designs. The frequency response and...conference paper 2022

Krijnen, T.F. (author), Noardo, F. (author), Arroyo Ohori, G.A.K. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)In this chapter, we start from the typical concepts from Geographic Information System (GIS): data representation, acquisition, querying and analysis. We follow with the transition from 2 to 3D GIS and describe open standards such as CityGML and CityJSON and recent advances on 3D geospatial simulations, computing and real-time GIS and...book chapter 2022

Groenewegen, Charlie (author)Today’s climate change creates a serious issue, which forces us to act by reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions across every sector. Making changes towards a sustainable world takes time and creates competition. Hydrogen has the potential to fuel a ‘clean’ economy because it is a carbon free energy carrier that can be produced from fossil fuels as...master thesis 2021

van der Velde, Yvette (author)This thesis focuses on the challenges Istanbul faces due to extensive urbanisation and global warming. The metropole has become vulnerable to climate change, especially to the increasing threat of floods. As a result of urbanisation and poor city planning, the green spaces have decreased considerably in Istanbul, which reduced stormwater...master thesis 2021

Josef Sergio Simanjuntak, Sergio (author)Indonesia is facing a challenge in fulfilling its future energy demand given the combination of a consistently high economic growth and a fast-growing population. The country also needs to increase the integration of renewable energy into the electricity system. Wind energy, one of the renewable energy alternatives, is severely underutilized in...master thesis 2021

Suijkens, Sven (author)Global economic losses due to flooding have increased over the last 50 years, with damages estimated in the billions of dollar each year. Governmental institutions face great challenges to reduce flood risk under the influence of population increase, urbanization and climate change. Interdisciplinary urban planning becomes more important to...student report 2021

Pena Pereira, Simon (author), PAVLIDOU, ANDRONIKI (author), PANTELIOS, KONSTANTINOS (author), Kountouri, Pinelopi (author), Meschin, Katrin (author), Geers, Lisa (author)The plastic pollution of aquatic environment is undoubtedly an emerging environmental risk, as it negatively affects ecosystems globally to a great extent. To prevent the plastic soup from growing even further, a Delft-based start-up Noria has developed plastic collectors, to remove plastic from rivers and canals before it reaches the ocean. In...student report 2021
