Raap, Caspar (author), van der Vlist, Deborah (author), Kooiker, Jasper (author), Julia Sumarthinningrum Dahlan, Julia (author), Duan, Yu (author)The Netherlands has created a large nitrogen pollution problem in its soils, which is harming biodiversity. By intensifying and industrialized farming, by importing animal feed for dairy production and fertilizer for crop farming, too much nitrogen has accumulated in the soil. Consequently, ecological processes are disturbed due to...student report 2024

Ejaz, Mahaa (author), Ter Heide, Tim (author), Prikanowski, Sandy (author), Shazly, Floyd (author), van Staveren van Dijk, Valdemarr (author)The Netherlands holds the title of the world’s second-largest exporter of agricultural goods, primarily due to Wageningen University’s pioneering research and innovation. However, this success has led to significant challenges. Intensive farming practices have strained resources and disrupted local water and soil cycles, sparking protests from...student report 2024

(author), Nicholls, Robert J. (author)Coastal erosion and flooding are projected to increase during the 21<sup>st</sup> century due to sea-level rise (SLR). To prevent adverse impacts of unmanaged coastal development, national organizations can apply a land protection policy, which consists of acquiring coastal land to avoid further development. Yet, these reserved areas remain...journal article 2024

Başkaya, A.O. (author), Capriati, Michele (author), Turchi, Alessandro (author), Magin, Thierry (author), Hickel, S. (author)The efficacy of immersed boundary (IB) methods with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) techniques is assessed in the context of atmospheric entry applications, including effects of chemical nonequilibrium (CNE) and gas–surface interactions (GSI). We scrutinize a conservative cut-cell IB method and two non-conservative IB methods, comparing their...journal article 2024

Buist, J.F.H. (author), Sanderse, B. (author), Dubinkina, S. (author), Oosterlee, C. W. (author), Henkes, R.A.W.M. (author)In this paper we present a complete framework for the energy-stable simulation of stratified incompressible flow in channels, using the one-dimensional two-fluid model. Building on earlier energy-conserving work on the basic two-fluid model, our new framework includes diffusion, friction, and surface tension. We show that surface tension can...journal article 2024

Alvarez, A. C. (author), Bruining, J. (author), Marchesin, D. (author)Carbonated water flooding (CWI) increases oil production due to favorable dissolution effects and viscosity reduction. Accurate modeling of CWI performance requires a simulator with the ability to capture the true physics of such process. In this study, compositional modeling coupled with surface complexation modeling (SCM) are done, allowing...journal article 2024

Mirra, M. (author), Pagella, G. (author), Lee, Michael (author), Gard, W.F. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)In the historic city centre of Amsterdam (NL), the predominant foundation system is comprised of wooden piles. Due to their placement below the water table, these foundations are susceptible to bacterial decay. This study aims to investigate and compare various methods for characterizing decay patterns within the cross sections of piles...journal article 2024

Klein, R.B. (author), Sanderse, B. (author)A novel hyper-reduction method is proposed that conserves kinetic energy and momentum for reduced order models of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The main advantage of conservation of kinetic energy is that it endows the hyper-reduced order model (hROM) with a nonlinear stability property. The new method poses the discrete...journal article 2024

Ouerghi, Ibrahim (author)The mimetic spectral element method is a relatively young method in numerical solutions of partial differential equations and actions that describe physical systems. Its advantage is that it takes the geometrical structure of the problem into account which guarantees consistency of the numerical scheme and the conservation of relevant quantities...master thesis 2023

Bettini, Andrea (author)This thesis presents an energy-conservative data-driven approach in modelling the closure terms of the Navier-Stokes equations casted through the Variational Multiscale (VMS) framework. For context, the VMS framework is applied in designing stabilised finite element methods for multiscale phenomena in which stability is not guaranteed. Under...master thesis 2023
