Krol, Robert (author)Silicon based power semiconductors have long been used as the standard in ‘semiconductor technology in power conversion applications’. Recent developments replaces the Silicon with Silicon Carbide as it results in superior performance of the power conversion applications. However, due to the increased performance, challenges...master thesis 2023

Blöbaum, Luisa (author), Haringa, C. (author), Grünberger, Alexander (author)Bioprocesses are scaled up for the production of large product quantities. With larger fermenter volumes, mixing becomes increasingly inefficient and environmental gradients get more prominent than in smaller scales. Environmental gradients have an impact on the microorganism's metabolism, which makes the prediction of large-scale performance...review 2023

Hobeika, N. (author), Garcia Sanchez, C. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation, which researchers have been warning about for years. During the pandemic, researchers studied several indicators using different approaches to assess IAQ and diverse ventilation systems in indoor spaces. To provide an overview of these indicators and...review 2023

Nieuwboer, B.J. (author), van Rhee, C. (author), Keetels, G.H. (author)When dredging rock using a Cutter Suction Dredger the high amount of spillage is problematic, since it prevents an energy efficient removal process. This papers presents a coupled DEM-FVM method to simulate spillage, that can be used for optimizing the design and working method of the Cutter Suction Dredger. In these simulations, the challenge...journal article 2023

Franz, Kelsey (author)Wind farm interactions with the surrounding airflow leads to a reduction in velocity greater than the linear sum of single turbine inductions and is known as global or upstream blockage. The mechanisms and magnitude of global blockage effect are not yet fully understood. Models to simulate upstream blockage to improve efficiency estimates and...master thesis 2022

Hoogeveen, Sylle (author)The increase in complexity of mathematical models in an attempt to approximate reality and desire to have near real-time results have emphasized the need for fast numerical simulations. Especially in areas where classic numerical methods struggle to produce valid solutions in reasonable computational time due to their<br/>complex behaviour on...master thesis 2022

Nieuwboer, B.J. (author)Due to an increased demand for transport, ships become larger, needing a larger navigable depth. For these reasons a waterway needs to be dredged and a Cutter Suction Dredger is a vessel suitable for this operation.<br/><br/>A Cutter Suction Dredger is a floating vessel which removes sand, clay or soft rock from sea or river beds. It has a...doctoral thesis 2022

Angenent, Maricke (author)Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS) is a multi-organ disease characterized by a reciprocal pathological interaction between the heart and kidneys during acute or chronic injury. Yet, a complete understanding of the underlying bi-directional pathophysiological mechanisms is lacking, hence obscuring effective diagnostic strategies, patient stratification...master thesis 2022

Bauer, Yorrick (author)A loss of vacuum accident in the hyperloop tunnel will likely occur during its operation, and it may have a severe impact on its operational safety. Nevertheless, the hyperloop tube breach has only been researched superficially.<br/><br/>Two aerodynamic phenomena due to the breach are identified: a (quasi-)steady underexpanded jet and an...master thesis 2022

Klein, Robin (author)In this master thesis several novel DEIM formulations are proposed that enable the construction of non-linearly stable hyper-reduced order models (hROMs) of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The hROMs have the same mass, momentum and energy conservation properties as the previously proposed ROM, but they do not suffer of prohibitively...master thesis 2022

Milano, Luca (author)Conventionally, the geometry of the Fri-Jado open vertical refrigerated display cabinet design is optimized by drawing and producing the new components and testing the new configuration in a climate chamber, which is known to be an iterative process that consumes a large amount of time. To speed up the optimization process, the application of...master thesis 2022

Rasch, Tycho (author)Wind loads acting on STS cranes are an important design parameter to be taken into account when designing STS cranes. Current calculation standards such as the EN13001-2 overestimate wind forces. The goal of this research is to propose an improvement on current calculation standards. Wind tunnel tests were performed to assess the results of...master thesis 2022

van den Bos, Nout (author)Due to the complicated design of nuclear reactors, many complex phenomena can cause points of failure. In the case of nuclear fuel rods, the axial flow that cools the rods can induce vibrations due to the turbulent nature of the flow. Turbulence-induced pressure fluctuations create small but significant vibration amplitudes, which in turn can...master thesis 2022

Pađen, I. (author), Garcia Sanchez, C. (author), Ledoux, H. (author)In the computational fluid dynamics simulation workflow, the geometry preparation step is often regarded as a tedious, time-consuming task. Many practitioners consider it one of the main bottlenecks in the simulation process. The more complex the geometry, the longer the necessary work, meaning this issue is amplified for urban flow simulations...journal article 2022
