Spriggs, A.M.S. (author), Mosselman, E. (author), Schielen, R.M.J. (author), Stancanelli, L.M. (author)Recent policy initiatives in Europe emphasize a movement towards nature-based solutions in flood management; however, a quantitative relationship between specific flood management measures and indicators of ecological health and biodiversity is difficult to establish (Penning et al., 2023). In the Netherlands, several studies have been conducted...abstract 2024

Crosato, A. (author)River morphology can be described at different scales: at the basin scale we distinguish the river network; at the reach scale the planform, the slope and average features, such as the width and bankfull water depth; at the cross-section scale the transverse variations of river bed topography; and at smaller scales we observe bedforms and...abstract 2024

van der Eijk, M. (author), Wellens, P.R. (author)A new bilinear interface reconstruction algorithm (BLIC) is presented to capture highly-curved interfaces more accurately on structured grids without a significant increase in computational costs compared to the standard piecewise linear interface calculation (PLIC) methods. The new reconstruction algorithm uses the initial PLIC segment and...journal article 2024

Belardinelli, P. (author), Lenci, S. (author), Alijani, F. (author)Through molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate the possibility of internal resonances in single-walled carbon nanotubes. The resonant condition is engineered with a lack of symmetry in the boundary condition and activated by increasing the energy exchange with a coupled thermal bath. The critical temperature threshold for initiating...journal article 2024

Kim, S. (author), van Egmond, R. (author), Happee, R. (author)In conditionally automated driving (SAE level 3), drivers may take their eyes off the road but will still need to be ready to take control and will, therefore, benefit from information on automation. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of automation manoeuvre information provided through spatial sound, traditional notification sound...journal article 2024

Tosto, F. (author), Pini, M. (author), Colonna, Piero (author)The blade solidity, namely the blade chordtopitch ratio, largely affects the fluiddynamic performance of turbomachinery. For turbomachines operating with air or steam, the optimal value of the solidity which maximizes the efficiency is estimated with empirical correlations such as the ones proposed by Zweifel (1945) and Traupel (1966). However,...conference paper 2024
