de Vries, Irene (author)Polders water canals are sometimes exposed to brackish seepage from the nearby saline sea (salinization). This is a problem because the canal water is used to irrigate crops. A characteristic of water is that less dense (fresh) water floats on top of dense (saline) water. In lakes and oceans, it is common that water layers with various densities...master thesis 2023

Muhammad Abrar Aulia, Abrar (author)The offshore monopile decommissioning demand will become definite in the coming years. Our responsibility is to ensure the rights and duties of other legitimate uses by completely removing the ageing monopile from the seabed to continuously redeveloping offshore wind farms within the same location. The growing number of past, present, and future...master thesis 2023

Mikail, Davey (author)The increasing demand for renewable energy sources, to achieve ‘green goals’ such as the Paris agreement, and their related projects, are becoming increasingly challenging to accomplish. Nowadays, offshore wind farm projects move into deeper waters and require larger individual Offshore Wind Turbines<br/>(OWT’s), which results in larger...master thesis 2022

Speelman, Ruben (author)In the underwater environment, it is all but silent. In most parts of the oceans, sunlight is barely available and thus marine animals have evolved to rely on sound for navigation, foraging and communication. Marine animals are not the only sources of underwater sound. Other natural sources such as earthquakes, waves and rain cause ambient noise...master thesis 2022

Bos, Isa (author)Low-frequency sound transmission in a cross-laminated timber apartment building can result in annoyance, even if the acoustic requirements of the building code are fulfilled. Cross-laminated timber is an upcoming material in the building industry. But there are also problems arising when building with this relatively new material. CLT is a...master thesis 2022

van der Vries, André (author)The global warming and increase in energy use demands the industry to come up with ideas to lower the CO<sub>2</sub> production and save valuable energy. Organic Rankine cycles have a great potential as low grade heat can be converted into electrical energy. In the last ten years, research in this particular field has increased together with the...master thesis 2021

Kumar, Neel (author)In this thesis work, we strive to describe and apply the modelling methodology for simulating a turbulent jet diffusion flame stabilized behind a bluff body by applying flamelet generated manifold (FGM) model and steady diffusion flamelet model for predicting the pollutant emissions from the flame. The flame under consideration is a CH4/H2 (1:1)...master thesis 2021

Meijer, Ralf (author)The lifespan of internal reforming solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is not yet sufficient. Among other design challenges, this is due to detrimental carbon deposition formations. This must be mitigated, without compromising the power output and efficiency of the fuel cell for it to become a commercial viable product. The carbon that is deposited...master thesis 2021

Griemink, Andre (author)Railway sleepers form an important part of a classic track structure. Sleepers exists in their current form for a long time. The transition from wood to concrete sleeper has been made, but wood is still used and present in many track sections. As creosoted wooden sleepers are not allowed to be installed on the tracks anymore the search for...master thesis 2021

Liu, Carmen (author)One of the challenges associated with offshore wind turbine installations is the mating phase. Aligning a transition piece onto its substructure under offshore conditions is a complicated and time-consuming procedure. Another issue found in a number of commissioned offshore wind turbines is related to the sustainability of the connection between...master thesis 2021

Pál, Botond (author), Roekaerts, D.J.E.M. (author), Zandbergen, B.T.C. (author)This study investigates the potential of a newly released multi-phase solver to simulate atomisation in an air-blast type atomiser. The 'VOF-to-DPM' solver was used to simulate primary and secondary atomisation in an atomiser with a coaxial injector-like geometry. The solver uses a hybrid Eulerian/Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation with...journal article 2021

Stefanaki, Maria Iro (author)The current thesis aims to explore the potential of producing large-scale structural cast glass elements with the help of 3d printed sand moulds. Until now, mostly small blocks from structural cast glass have been generated in the building industry, revealing a research gap regarding massive components. Apart from the size, the unlimited shape...master thesis 2020

Donders, Tim (author)Welding is an extensively used technology by different industries such as aerospace, automotive and marine industry. Welding involves the temporal melting of materials in order to join them together. The quality of the weld is known to depend on the fluid flow and heat transfer in the material. A way to influence the heat transfer and fluid flow...bachelor thesis 2020

Potkamp, Storm (author)A Solar Electric Vehicle is a vehicle that receives a significant amount of its total energy consumption through sunlight gathered using solar arrays. The main objective of this thesis was to determine how the design of the rear low-speed crash structures should be different for a Solar Electric Vehicle, compared to conventional cars. This is...master thesis 2020

Ankith John Santosh, Ankith (author)In order to meet the growing market demands of quieter, more aerodynamically efficient aircrafts, manufacturers constantly strive to innovate and optimize their designs. Over the years however, the extent of innovation related to the conventional 'tubular fuselage' configurations have somewhat reached a stalemate as the gains obtained have only...master thesis 2020

Chakkingal, M. (author), Schiavo, Sabino (author), Ataei Dadavi, I. (author), Tummers, M.J. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author)We numerically investigate natural convection in a bottom-heated top-cooled cavity, fully and partially filled with adiabatic spheres (with diameter-to-cavity-size ratio d/L=0.2) arranged in a Simple Cubic Packing (SCP) configuration. We study the influence of packing height and location of porous media. We carry out the simulations using...journal article 2020

Verhoog, Thomas (author)In this research project, an attempt is made to fuse the fields of structural mechanics and machine learning. The goal is to find out if models can be created that are capable of predicting the outcomes of (nonlinear) finite element analyses. These models are created by means of Artificial Neural Networks, which is a powerful method in the...master thesis 2019

Agarwal, Krittika (author)While the world is advancing with taller structures using engineered wood, little importance is being given to natural wood, which is abundantly available in most regions of the world. The lack of technological research using this material in its natural state has caused a drawback in its usage. Also, the dependence on engineered wood for modern...master thesis 2019

Hoogsteder, Fiona (author)The objective of this master thesis is to gain knowledge regarding the dynamic behaviour of The Palmerah Tidal Bridge to hydraulic loads. The Palmerah Tidal Bridge, an enterprise of the construction company BAM, will become future's largest tidal power plant and a floating bridge between two islands in the Flores region, Indonesia. A combination...master thesis 2019
