Cool, G.A. (author)Wind assessment of new locations prior to the installation of wind turbines is an established process. However, this process is still very costly. The common way to measure offshore wind profiles is the usage of met masts, which get more expensive with increasing water depth and hub height. Recently, wind measurement LiDARs are installed on...master thesis 2016

Karadayi, M.C. (author)Kite Power research group at TU Delft developed the KiteSim framework for dynamic simulation of crosswind kite power systems. Currently, KiteSim has the capability to simulate leading edge inflatable kites. The use of rigid wing kites in crosswind kite power systems is becoming widespread. Accordingly, KiteSim framework is planned to be...master thesis 2016

Kislaya, A. (author)In PIV, the systematic tendency of the measured sub-pixel displacement to be biased towards the integral pixel values is called peak-locking. This occurs when the particle image diameter is less than a pixel. The bias error causes inaccuracy in the measured PIV data which does not reduces with increase in the sample size. Recently developed...master thesis 2016

Orlita, M. (author)In the era of increasing aviation traffic the conditions are right to promote design of ambitious concepts. At Fokker Aerostructures attention is drawn to smooth in-flight shape morphing to produce a structurally functional Variable Camber Trailing Edge Flap (VCTEF). The deployment mechanism would fit into the flap, not limiting other...master thesis 2016

van den Kieboom, K.T.H. (author)Current wing design processes are strongly governed by cruise design requirements. This approach to wing design leaves little room for high-lift device design optimization where trade-offs may be required between cruise wing and high-lift wing design. Moreover, the optimization of high-lift devices typically focuses on optimizing flap/slat...master thesis 2016

Singh, P. (author)Tomographic PIV is one of the most recent and advanced tools used in experimental fluid dynamics. Low spatial resolution is currently a problem in large scale tomo-PIV as concentration. A novel technique is proposed which leverages the temporal information of full Lagrangian particle tracks to improve the spatial resolution of tomo-PIV in low...master thesis 2016

Morias, K. (author)This thesis follows a previous study on the aerodynamic characterization of helium-filled soap bubbles (HFSBs) for large-scale PIV measurements and aims at characterizing statistically the tracing fidelity of HFSBs in PIV experiments, considering the statistical distribution of the bubbles diameter, slip velocity, relaxation time and density....master thesis 2016

Roelofs, M.N. (author)A semi-analytical weight estimation method is proposed for composite, oval fuselages, but is also applicable to conventional fuselages and to metallic materials. Loads applied to the fuselage include pressurization, steady-state maneuver loads and inertial loads. The primary structure around the passenger cabin is sized, based on first-ply...master thesis 2016

Lambers, A.C. (author)Aircraft concepts with high aspect ratio wings have been investigated more extensively in the recent past, as such configurations would reduce the induced drag significantly. At the same time, the high aspect ratio challenges the wing’s aero-structural stability (flutter). Therefore there is a need to perform aero-structural analysis already...master thesis 2016

Van de Meerendonk, R. (author)Increasing interest in the field of micro air vehicles has stimulated research activities regarding biological flapping-wing flight. An important characteristic of biological flapping-wing flight that is not commonly taken into account in mechanical model simulations is the influence of wing flexibility. This experimental study explores the flow...master thesis 2016

Stam, C.J. (author)Vortex generators (VGs) are effectively used to improve the performance of the wind turbine blades by means of flow control. VGs can be represented by local geometrical disturbance on the aerodynamic surfaces. This disturbance generates vortices in the streamwise direction, energizing the boundary layer and hence delaying or suppressing the flow...master thesis 2016

Spranger, L.L.C.C. (author)As on-shore wind farms are being installed in colder and harsher climatic areas in increasing numbers, it becomes more and more important to have adequate measures for dealing with rotor blade icing. Rotor blade icing can lead to a number of serious consequences for the safety, power production, and operation of a wind turbine or entire wind...master thesis 2016

Tasks involved observing and investigating the additional equipment attached to the wind tunnel model that could alter the results when compared with the computational simulation results. All the study is based on computational simulation finally...master thesis 2016

Vermeij, R. (author)Communication in wind farm development is complex. A relationship between wind farm developers and residents which is based on reciprocity can lead to the trust and commitment necessary to deal with these complexities. The role of reciprocity is researched in a case study and a network model of reciprocity is developed. Implementing the findings...master thesis 2016
