Formalisation of code lists and their values – The case of ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model

A code list in Unified Modeling Language (UML), a simple list of values without any structure, can be employed as a simple data type to further capture the semantics of a domain. The code list values as used in international standards (e.g. ISO and OGC) are generally presented without definition, reference to the source of a definition, multi...

HyCReWW: A Hybrid Coral Reef Wave and Water level metamodel

Wave-induced flooding is a major coastal hazard on tropical islands fronted by coral reefs. The variability of shape, size, and physical characteristics of the reefs across the globe make it difficult to obtain a parameterization of wave run-up, which is needed for risk assessments. Therefore, we developed the HyCReWW metamodel to predict wave...

Surrogate Modelling for Airfoil Shape optimization

Airfoil optimizations require costly high-fidelity solvers. By replacing the expensive solver with a cheap to evaluate surrogate model genetic optimization becomes feasible and a global optimum can be obtained. This thesis investigates applicability of surrogate model based optimization for airfoil optimization and provides recommendations...
