The Netherlands is prone to flooding as more than a quarter of the country lies under sea level. To combat flooding and ensure that the country remains dry structures such are levees and dikes have been installed. However, older water retaining structures are more than ever failing the stringent safety standard assessments. These older...

With the development of industry, there is an increasing focus on environmental issues, while organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) have garnered significant attention as emerging contaminants in water. Due to the low concentration and small size, OMPs pose a challenge to retain in traditional low-pressure membrane filtration systems. Prior researches...

The increasing global demand for energy has necessitated the exploration of untapped potential energy resources. Unconventional oil reservoirs present a significant opportunity for development through various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods. Among these methods, the huff’n’puff scheme using Carbon Dioxide (CO2) EOR has emerged as a potent...

CO2 flooding is a widely employed method for enhancing oil recovery. However, it faces challenges stemming from differences in viscosity and density between oil and CO2, leading to poor sweep efficiency. This can result in issues such as viscous fingering, channelling, and gravity segregation, causing premature breakthroughs and excessive gas...

The data assimilation process for geothermal reservoirs often relies on well data which primarily offers insights into the immediate vicinity of the borehole. However, integrating geophysical methods can provide valuable information beyond well proximity, possibly enhancing reservoir predictions. Electromagnetic methods can be sensitive to the...

Permeability, a key reservoir characteristic, governs the rate of fluid flow through reservoir rocks. Accurate permeability estimates are paramount for robust reservoir simulation, history matching, and production forecasting. Due to limited core data availability and intrinsic heterogeneity of permeability at different scales, establishing...

Lightning is a natural phenomena that can be dangerous to humans. It is however challenging to study thunderstorm clouds using direct observations since it can be dangerous to fly into thunderstorm clouds. In this study, cloud radar with millimeter wavelength is used to study the properties and dynamics of thunderstorm clouds. It is based on a...

The following report investigates the land ice height decrease of the Fleming Glacier between 2019 and 2022 using ICESat-2 satellite data. This glacier is located on the Antarctic Peninsula, an area that has been severely impacted by global warming. Using data from the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) on board ICESat-2, more...

UV disinfection is an efficient way to inactivate chlorine resistant protozoan pathogens such as Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia muris. In the United States, regulatory UV disinfection credit is typically granted when turbidity is &lt;1 NTU. However, studies show turbidity does not correlate well with UV dose responses and partial...

Frisia Zout B.V. extracts salt from the subsurface by means of solution mining in the north-western part of The Netherlands. The caverns are situated in the Zechstein-II Halite at a depth of around 2.5 km. Because of this depth and the low operating pressure (around 60% of lithostatic pressure) the salt creep within the cavern is high. Once a...

In the atmospheric boundary layer, when surface heat flux is small and mean wind shear is strong, horizontal convective rolls that are elongated along the wind shear are formed. This study attempts to explain the asymmetry of rolls in terms of turbulence using large-eddy simulations. A pressure gradient in the north-south y direction is applied,...
