van der Waals, Max (author)The importance of aerodynamic efficiency in the cycling sport is well known. Simple calculations demonstrate the considerable impact of just a few percentages in drag savings on the outcome of a competition where the margins can be incredibly small. Achieving a drag reduction can, however, be challenging as the flow topology of a cyclist is...master thesis 2023

Nanda, S. (author)The research presented in this thesis aims at understanding how gases influence the cavitating vortex generated by a wing tip in a stationary flow. Gases in the flow occur as non-condensible microbubbles as well as gases dissolved in the liquid. They are typically abundant in surface flows. For studying how dissolved gases influence a cavitating...doctoral thesis 2023

Subramani, Surya Natarajan (author)Radiation pattern measurements is a critical step in characterizing antennas before they are used in any system for a specific application. To identify any defects or to acquire the true radiation characteristics of the antenna under test, densely sampled measurements are desired. However, this results in a time and cost expensive measurement...master thesis 2023

Schermerhorn, Rick (author)In this report we examine the dual space of $\ell^\infty$. If $p \in [1,\infty)$ and $q \in [1,\infty]$ satisfy $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1$, then one can identify the spaces $\ell^q$ and $(\ell^p)'$ in a natural way via an isometric isomorphism. This identification does not extend to the case $p=\infty$ and $q=1$. We prove that the obvious...bachelor thesis 2023

Liu, Qingxin (author)Most injuries in football occur in the lower extremities due to high muscle stress. To prevent such injuries, the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) and the Delft University of Technology developed the Smart Sensor Shorts, an inertial sensor-based tracking system measuring the athlete’s lower body kinematics, to improve physical load estimates...master thesis 2023

van Dam, Nathalie (author)Propulsion power is an important metric in wheelchair racing. For a flat surface, it can be estimated from the sum of friction power and kinetic power. Usually, to determine friction power, the rolling and air drag coefficient first need to be determined with coast-down tests or other time-consuming methods. The aim of this paper was to...master thesis 2023

van den Beld, David (author)ADCS magnetometers on board of satellites suffer from the disruptive magnetic field produced by the satellite itself. For CubeSats and PocketQubes this magnetic field is usually not quantified. If the largest magnetic field sources are known and if there is freedom in the magnetometer placement, the magnetometer is simply placed as far from the...master thesis 2023
