Başkaya, A.O. (author), Hickel, S. (author)A conservative cut-cell immersed boundary (IB) method including gas-surface interactions (GSI) for the simulation of atmospheric entry flows under thermochemical nonequilibrium (TCNE) conditions is presented. The performance<br/>of the method is demonstrated for three test cases: a compression ramp, a cylinder, and a plasma wind tunnel ablator...conference paper 2023

Andrade Corona, C.F. (author), Dieudonné, A.A.M. (author), Gebert, J. (author), Heimovaara, T.J. (author)Nitrogen undergoes multiple biogeochemical transformations during waste degradation, which depend on speciation, prevailing geochemical boundary conditions, and waste surface properties. This study developed a waste biodegradation model with high flexibility in accommodating reaction pathways to assess different process dynamics. The model was...conference paper 2023

Do, Phuong Chinh (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Gonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)The material point method (MPM) is gaining an increasing amount of attention due to its capacity to solve geotechnical problems involving large deformations. Large deformations in geotechnics usually involve the failure process and therefore dynamic analyses are often carried out. However, simulating the (infinite) continuous domain using...conference paper 2023

(author)The concept of an "Auxiliary Power and Propulsion Unit" (APPU) is introduced, which consists of a Boundarylayer ingesting (BLI) propulsor with an engine mounted at the rear of an passenger aircraft fuselage, replacing the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and contributing around 10% of total cruise thrust, as well as auxiliary power. This APPU unit is...conference paper 2022

Atazadeh, Behnam (author), Olfat, Hamed (author), Rajabifard, Abbas (author)Many research studies have been recently conducted in Australia and New Zealand to explore a range of technical, legal, and institutional aspects related to modernisation of 3D cadastre. Most of these studies focus on a particular jurisdiction. This stems from the fact that each jurisdiction is responsible for their own cadastral system....conference paper 2021

Dabrowski, M.M. (author), Chan, Faith (author), Meng, M. (author)The cities of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) have been experiencing an unprecedented urban expansion for the past four decades, leading to emergence of one of the most populous and dynamic urban regions. However, these rapidly expanding cities located in a low-lying delta area also face increasing flood risk due to a combination of anthropogenic...conference paper 2021

Sellik, Hendrig (author), van Paridon, Onno (author), Gousios, G. (author), Aniche, Maurício (author)Mistakes in binary conditions are a source of error in many software systems. They happen when developers use, e.g., < or > instead of <= or >=. These boundary mistakes are hard to find and impose manual, labor-intensive work for software developers. While previous research has been proposing solutions to identify errors in boundary...conference paper 2021

Arnar Briem, Jón (author), Smit, Jordi (author), Sellik, Hendrig (author), Rapoport, Pavel (author), Gousios, G. (author), Aniche, Maurício (author)Mistakes in boundary conditions are the cause of many bugs in software. These mistakes happen when, e.g., developers make use of '<' or '>' in cases where they should have used '<=' or '>='. Mistakes in boundary conditions are often hard to find and manually detecting them might be very time-consuming for developers. While...conference paper 2020

Pini, M. (author), de Servi, C.M. (author)This paper documents a numerical study on entropy generation in zero-pressure gradient, laminar boundary layers of adiabatic non-ideal compressible fluid flows. The entropy generation is expressed in terms of dissipation coefficient $$C:\mathrm {d}$$ and its dependency on free-stream Mach number, fluid molecular complexity, and flow non...conference paper 2020

van Vlijmen, Bruis (author), Goudswaard, Reinier (author), Boere, Remco (author), Schneider, Thomas (author), Polinder, H. (author), Lavidas, G. (author)It is expected that several identical Point Absorber Wave Energy Converters (PAWECs) will be arranged in arrays to form a Wave Energy Farm. One of the key challenges in designing such a WEC array is their spatial configuration, as the WECs in the farm interact hydrodynamically with each other. This study focuses on different potential PAWEC...conference paper 2019

Tsouvalas, A. (author), Peng, Y. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)In this paper, a pile-water-soil model is developed for the prediction of sound generated due to impact piling. The complete model consists of two modules: i) a near-source module aiming at the accurate description of the pile-water-soil interaction together with the sound generation and propagation in the vicinity of the pile; and ii) a far...conference paper 2019

Chang, Z. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)The aim of this work is to investigate the fracture process of concrete under various boundary conditions. Although numerous concrete fracture tests have been reported, showing the failure behavior of concrete, their evaluation is ambiguous due to the limitations of specimen size and experimental conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to use...conference paper 2019
