Finite element analysis and multibody dynamics are popular mathematical modeling techniques for sev- eral mechanical applications. The finite element method is a costly method from a runtime standpoint. Moreover, both multibody dynamics and finite element methods require approximating the geometry of the application either by meshing or by...

In anti-cancer therapy, ntiangiogenic treatments are applied and take effect on the vascularization of tissue. To evaluate the efficacy of treatments, we adopt two methods to solve the physiological pharmacokinetic model’s parameter estimation problem, providing discrete, partial, and noisy observations of stochastic differential equations. One...

Hoogeveen, Sylle (author)
The increase in complexity of mathematical models in an attempt to approximate reality and desire to have near real-time results have emphasized the need for fast numerical simulations. Especially in areas where classic numerical methods struggle to produce valid solutions in reasonable computational time due to their<br/>complex behaviour on...

Topology optimization is a branch of mechanical engineering in which the topology of a structure is created and optimized to certain conditions and restrictions. In the last few decades, the demand for highly accurate and complex models of these structures has increased and it has a big effect on the computational power needed. To ease the...

The development of optical metamaterials in recent years has enabled the design of novel optical devices with exciting properties and applications ranging across many fields, including in scientific instrumentation for space missions. This in<br/>turn has led to demand for computational methods which can produce efficient device designs....

Differentiable ray-tracing is an exciting new development in computer graphics to approach all sorts of 3D scene design problems by obtaining gradients of renders produced by ray-tracing with respect to parameters that define the scene. These gradients can then be incorporated in a gradient-descent type optimization pipeline.<br/><br/>One such...

With the increasing number of electric vehicles on the road, the routing problem has become more complex. As charging electric vehicles takes longer than fueling non-electric vehicles, congestion can occur at charging stations. This might lead to the shortest route not being the fastest route, due to long waiting times at the stations. By...

This essay shows a two dimensional implementation of the finite element method for the Westervelt equation. To do this the finite element method is first applied to the linear wave equation, then to non-linear diffusion and finally to the Westervelt equation. Both an element by element and a faster vectorized implementation are given for the...

The aim of this research is to provide amathematical model that describes the physics in a levee when waves are overtopping a flood embankment. Ideally, this numerical simulation can replace empirical methods based on overtopping simulations and provide more insight into the physical process of an overtopping flow on a levee. This could prove to...

Eddy currents are currents which are induced in a conducting object by a varying magnetic field. These currents generate a magnetic field of their own. Modelling this phenomenon constitutes a diverse and challenging set of problems, for which many applications exist. One such application is the degaussing system of a naval ship. To guarantee...

A severe incident with the cargo ship MSC Zoe, which lost hundreds of containers near the Dutch coast, shows how important it can be to detect and localise hidden objects at sea quickly. Also in defence applications localisation of hidden objects in water is important. If the objects are made of magnetic materials, they disturb the Earth...

To regulate pollution emission of $\text{NO}_2$ and greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide and methane, satellite images of the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) are used to map the spread of air pollution. This instrument delivers near-daily 'snapshots' of the $\text{NO}_2$ concentration over the whole Earth. In this report, first,...

Artificial Intelligence in the form of neural networks is becoming wide spread. This report focuses on a specific form of neural networks, Simplicial Neural Networks. After presenting their advantages and how they were implemented in Python by using the code of [1], they are tested in 2 experiments to explore their applicability in solving...

Markov chains are used to describe random processes in discrete time, which have the property of being memoryless. This report covers Markov chains on a finite space that are homogeneous in time and mainly follows the structure of ''Markov Chains and Mixing Times''. Markov chains exhibit a strong connection with electric networks. We exploit...

Lacunes of presumed vascular origin (lacunes) are small lesions in the brain and are an important indicator of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD). To gain more insight in this disease, obtaining more information about the shape, size and location of lacunes is essential. However, manual segmentation (the voxel-wise labeling of lacunes in a...

In order to decrease the time that the viscous-flow solver PARNASSOS needs to simulate ship-generated waves, direct solvers are introduced in order to make the iterative solver used in PARNASSOS converge faster

Steinebach, Koen (author)
In proton therapy, robust treatment planning is currently used to account for uncertainties in patient alignment and proton beam range. A way to overcome the limitations of robust treatment planning is to use probabilistic treatment planning, which can be computationally expensive due to the calculations of statistical measures of stochastic...

In this thesis, an algorithm to model the magnetic perturbation field caused by ships is designed and implemented. A systematic description of methods used for modelling the magnetic signature of ships is given. The algorithm fits coefficients of a prolate spheroidal harmonic expansion of the scalar potential of the magnetic field using a least...

The first part of this thesis provides a mathematical description for bipartite quantum correlations, aiming to analyze the geometry of several sets of correlations. We explain why quantum entanglement can be used to simulate shared randomness: C<sub>loc</sub>(Γ) ⊆ C<sub>q</sub><sup>d</sup>(Γ) for a sufficiently large d. The known bound for this...

The graduation project was conducted at the CFD department of Nuclear Research And Consultancy Group (NRG) in Petten. The modeling and simulation of Taylor bubble flow using CFD can contribute significantly to the topic of nuclear reactor safety and in particular, in the emergency cooling of nuclear reactors during a loss of coolant accident, or...
