Hoornahad, H. (author)No-slump concrete (NSLC) is one of the commercial types of concrete that is known as a type of concrete with almost zero flowability. No-slump concrete is normally used for typical applications, like pavements construction and massive dam structures. The specific feature of a no-slump concrete is its high shape holding ability. No fixed formwork...doctoral thesis 2014

Gharari, S. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Fenicia, F. (author), Gao, H. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author)Conceptual environmental system models, such as rainfall runoff models, generally rely on calibration for parameter identification. Increasing complexity of this type of models for better representation of hydrological process heterogeneity, typically makes parameter identification more difficult. Although various, potentially valuable,...journal article 2014

Leeftink, T.N. (author), Latooij, C.A. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Injectivity is a key factor in the economics of foam enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes. Poor injectivity of low-mobility foam slows the production of oil and allows more time for gravity segregation of injected gas. The conventional Peaceman equation (1978), when applied in a large grid block, makes two substantial errors in estimating foam...journal article 2014

Zaman, T. (author), Jonker, P.P. (author), Lenseigne, B.A.J. (author), Dik, J. (author)Introduction: Paintings are versatile near-planar objects with material characteristics that vary widely. The fact that paint has a material presence is often overlooked, mostly due to the fact that we encounter many of these artworks through two dimensional reproductions. The capture of paintings in the third dimension is not only interesting...journal article 2014

Hunziker, J.W. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Slob, E.C. (author)We determined that the electromagnetic vertical transverse isotropic response in a layered earth can be obtained by solving two equivalent scalar equations, which were for the vertical electric field and for the vertical magnetic field, involving only a scalar global reflection coefficient. Besides the complete derivation of the full...journal article 2014

Arntzen, M. (author)The atmosphere modifies the emitted sound waves of an aircraft during propagation and is therefore important in the calculation of noise contours or synthesis. Noise contours present the resulting noise levels on the ground and are, as such, often applied for regulatory purposes. Aircraft noise synthesis is a technique that allows to transform a...doctoral thesis 2014

Van Eck, G. (author), Brands, T. (author), Wismans, L.J.J. (author), Pel, A.J. (author), Van Nes, R. (author)In the aim for a more sustainable transport system, governments try to stimulate multimodal trip making by facilitating smooth transfers between modes. The assessment of related multimodal policy measures requires transport models that are capable of handling the complex nature of multimodality. This complexity sets requirements for adequate...conference paper 2014
