van der Eijk, M. (author), Wellens, P.R. (author)A new bilinear interface reconstruction algorithm (BLIC) is presented to capture highly-curved interfaces more accurately on structured grids without a significant increase in computational costs compared to the standard piecewise linear interface calculation (PLIC) methods. The new reconstruction algorithm uses the initial PLIC segment and...journal article 2024

Koerten, K.O. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Zgonnikov, A. (author)Traffic jams occurring on highways cause increased travel time as well as increased fuel consumption and collisions. So-called phantom traffic jams are traffic jams that do not have a clear cause, such as a merging on-ramp or an accident. Phantom traffic jams make up 50% of all traffic jams and result from instabilities in the traffic flow...journal article 2024

van Bergen, Steven (author), Norte, R.A. (author), Aragon, A.M. (author)The computational analysis of nanophotonic devices is usually carried out via the standard finite element method (FEM). However, FEM requires meshes that are fitted to the devices’ boundaries, so making changes to the geometry (and thus the mesh) results in an inefficient process at best. Such an approach is therefore at odds when conducting...journal article 2024

(author)The surface of supported heterogeneous catalysts often contains adsorbed water and hydroxyl groups even when water is not directly added to the reaction stream. Nonetheless, the reactivity of adsorbed water and hydroxyl groups is rarely considered. We demonstrate that water and hydroxyl groups can not only directly participate in the...journal article 2024

Li, H. (author), Pourquie, M.J.B.M. (author), Ooms, G. (author), Henkes, R.A.W.M. (author)DNS and RANS simulations were carried out for core-annular flow in a horizontal pipe and results were compared with experiments carried out with water and oil in our lab. In contrast to most existing studies for core-annular flow available in the literature, the flow annulus is not laminar but turbulent. This makes the simulations more...journal article 2024

(author)Objective. Bi-directional electronic neural interfaces, capable of both electrical recording and stimulation, communicate with the nervous system to permit precise calibration of electrical inputs by capturing the evoked neural responses. However, one significant challenge is that stimulation artifacts often mask the actual neural signals. To...journal article 2024

Ferreira, J.P. (author), Ferràs, David (author), Covas, Dídia I.C. (author), van der Werf, Job (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)The paper proposes a novel methodology to locate and quantify entrapped air pockets created during pipe-filling events often found in intermittent water supply systems. Different filling conditions were tested in an experimental pipe with a high point. Measurements were taken and video recordings were carried out to assess air pocket volumes...journal article 2024

He, P. (author), Moreira Arouche, M. (author), Koetsier, M. (author), Pavlovic, M. (author)Debonding is characterized as the governing failure mode in the innovative wrapped composite joints made with glass fiber composite material wrapped around steel hollow sections without welding. The prerequisite for predicting debonding failure of wrapped composite joints is to obtain fracture behavior of the composite-steel bonded interface....journal article 2024

(author), Zhao, Bo (author)The growing trend of the Internet of Things (IoT) involves trillions of sensors in various applications. An extensive array of parameters need to be gathered concurrently with high-precision, low-cost, and low-power sensor nodes, such as resistive (R) and capacitive (C) sensors. Single-chip channel fusion can be an effective solution, while...journal article 2024

Marin, L. (author), Vică, Constantin (author)The phenomenon of missed interactions between online users is a specific issue occurring when users of different language games interact on social media platforms. We use the lens of institutional theory to analyze this phenomenon and argue that current online institutions will necessarily fail to regulate user interactions in a way that...journal article 2024
