Plasma Actuators for active Transition Delay: Experimental Optimization and Investigations

Today, the impact on the environment of too much fuel consumption becomes clearer and clearer: the earth is heating up, poles are melting and sea levels are rising. Aircraft contribute a lot to this. By reducing aircraft drag, fuel consumption and pollution can be decreased dramatically. Aircraft encounter different types of drag, but viscous...

Verbetering van de toegang tot en uitbreiding van de haven van Shanghai

De haven van Shanghai is voor zeeschepen bereikbaar via de Yangtze delta. Omdat de Yangtze rivier veel sediment afvoert is de haven van Shanghai aileen toegankelijk voor schepen met een diepgang tot 10 meter. Een oplossing voor dit probleem is om een kanaal langs de kust aan te leggen als een soort by-pass door de Yangtze Delta. De bedoeling is...
