Scheeper, Tom (author)Wind turbine installation vessels (WTIVs) are ships that are specifically designed to install offshore wind turbines. These WTIVs have four or six large truss-like legs that are lowered towards the seabed by means of jacking systems. These jacking systems are regulated by control systems to ensure the leg is lowered with a constant velocity...master thesis 2023

Xie, Weiming (author), Sun, J. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Xu, Fan (author), Wang, Xianye (author), Ji, Hongyu (author), Fan, Yaoshen (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), He, Qing (author)Coastal tidal flats provide valuable ecosystems, but are highly sensitive to tidal dynamics, sea-level rise, and human activities. Tidal inundation depth and frequency are known to affect tidal flat morphodynamics. However, the causes, processes and extent remain uncertain, particularly given the associated changes in sediment availability. In...journal article 2023

van Essen, S.M. (author), Seyffert, Harleigh C. (author)Green water and slamming wave impacts can lead to severe damage or operability issues for marine structures. It is therefore essential to consider their probability and loads in design. This is difficult, as impacts are both hydrodynamically complex and relatively rare. The complexity requires high-fidelity modeling (experiments or CFD),...journal article 2023

Pearson, S.G. (author)In an era of rising seas and other challenges posed by climate change, coastal regions like the Netherlands are facing ever graver threats. Strategic sand nourishments could mitigate the threat of coastal erosion and sea level rise on barrier island coasts while limiting ecological impacts. However, insufficient knowledge of sediment transport...doctoral thesis 2022

Zhou, Z. (author)Estuaries are partially enclosed water bodies where river water mixes with sea water. Estuaries provide important ecological functions which are strongly regulated by estuarine hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics, and also by human interventions. Sustainable management of such systems therefore requires a thorough understanding of the interplay...doctoral thesis 2021

Benedysiuk, Piotr (author)Particle - particle interactions in graphene force charge carriers to behave as viscous liquid. In this report we model and study such a system in the framework of molecular dynamics. Two interaction regimes are studied, Dirac regime with negative interaction potential and Fermi regime with positive potential. We report on numerical stability...master thesis 2019

Schouten, Ewout (author)In this thesis the differences between the monohull and semi-submersible are investigated. For a general heavy lift crane operation and its operational profile, the difference is performance and total cost are calculated. These are used to determine the turning point, the point where the semi-submersible is more favourable for a heavy lift crane...master thesis 2018

Gunyol, O. (author)The current understanding of the transport phenomena involved in the operation of industrial fermenters is not sufficient. This is reflected by the limitations seen in their design and operation. A better insight in the local processes taking place (hydrodynamics, gas dispersion, mixing, microbial kinetics) is required to be able to make a step...doctoral thesis 2017

van der Kolk, N.J. (author), Keuning, J.A. (author), Huijsmans, R.H.M. (author)A Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes computational fluid dynamics (RANS-CFD) package will be one of the primary tools used during the development of a performance prediction program for Wind-Assisted commercial ships. The modelling challenge presented by large separated flow structures in the wake of the sailing ship points to a conscientious...conference paper 2017

Mathios, V.A. (author)The decommissioning market expenditure is expected to grow further in the years to come due to increasing number of platforms that near the end of their production cycle, mainly being xed steel structures (<4,000 [Te]) positioned in shallow waters (30 to 75 [m]). The risks of such operation emerged the need for semi-submersible, heavy-lift...master thesis 2015

D' Hont, F.M. (author)The Slufter is an estuary located in Texel’s North Sea dunes and protects the hinterland from flooding from the North Sea. As the multi actor environment and the diversity of values and functions associated with the Slufter are recognized, this research focuses on developing an approach for the district water board to broaden the knowledge base...master thesis 2014

Ooms, G. (author), Pourquie, M.J.B.M. (author), Beerens, J.C. (author)A numerical study has been made of horizontal core-annular flow: the flow of a high-viscosity liquid core surrounded by a low-viscosity liquid annular layer through a horizontal pipe. Special attention is paid to the question how the buoyancy force on the core, caused by a density difference between the core and the annular layer, is...journal article 2013

Kritzinger, H.P. (author)The Monolithic Stirrer Reactor (MSR) is a novel concept for heterogeneously catalyzed reactors and is presented as an alternative device to slurry reactors. It uses a modified stirrer on which structured catalyst supports (monoliths) are fixed to form permeable blades. The monoliths consist of small square parallel channels on which a layer of...doctoral thesis 2011

The laboratory studies of three principle jack-up platform models were carried out in both regular and irregular waves. The data from irregular wave tests were analyzed in both the probability domain and frequency domain supported by...journal article 1991

Slooff, J.W. (author)A discussion is given of the physical mechanisms governing the hydrodynamics of sailing yacht keels and the parameters that, through these mechanisms, determine keel performance. It is concluded that due to the presence of the free water surface optimum keel shapes differ from optimum shapes for aircraft wings, a fact that does not seem to have...report 1984
