Liu, S. (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Xie, Mingzhao (author), McClain, M.E. (author), Wang, Xu Sheng (author)A coupled regional and local model is required when groundwater flow and solute transport are to be simulated in local areas of interest with a finer grid while regional aquifer boundary and major stresses should be retained with a coarser grid. The coupled model should also maintain interactions between the regional and local flow systems. In...journal article 2021

Ren, Jie (author), Wang, Yuan (author), Feng, Di (author), Gong, J. (author)Large volumes of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) captured from carbon emission source can be stored in deep saline aquifers as a mean of mitigating climate change. The deep saline aquifers are naturally heterogeneous at multiple scales. It is important to generate representative multiscale heterogeneous fields of various hydrogeologic...journal article 2021

Kaandorp, C. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Abraham, E. (author)Sustainable energy systems can only be achieved when reducing both carbon emissions and water use for energy generation. Although the water use for electricity generation has been well studied, integrated assessments of the water use by low-carbon heat systems are lacking. In this paper we present an analysis of the water use of scenarios for...journal article 2021

Cai, Jianchao (author), Hajibeygi, H. (author), Yao, Jun (author), Majid Hassanizadeh, S. (author)Natural, artificial, and biological porous media can be seen everywhere in our daily lives. Transport phenomena in porous media, such as flow, diffusion, reaction, adsorption and deformation, are encountered in a wide variety of practical applications and scientific interests over widely disparate length scales, from molecular, to pore, core,...contribution to periodical 2020

Zhang, H. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Gan, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)This paper presents a validation process of the developed multi-scale modelling scheme on mortar composites. Special attention was paid to make the material structure of real and virtual mortar specimens comparable at the meso-scale. The input mechanical parameters of cement paste (both bulk cement paste and interfacial transition zone) at the...journal article 2020

Zhang, H. (author)Cementitious materials are heterogeneous on mutliple length scales, from nanometres to metres. Consequently, their macroscopic mechanical properties are affected by material structures at all length scales. In pursuit of fundamental understanding the relationship between their multiscale heterogeneous material structure and mechanical properties...doctoral thesis 2019

Blank, J.L.T. (author), Niaounakis, T.K. (author)In many countries, the provision of primary education is among the core responsibilities of local governments. One of the main questions local governments face concerns the optimal configuration of school boards and size of schools. In this paper we analyse the relation between cost and scale in school boards and in schools. The influence of...journal article 2019

Wigman, Stefan (author)This study approached migration-related problems from a global perspective. The inter- connected nature of migration means that migration problems accumulate and intensify throughout the world. To capture these effects, a data-rich model component was devel- oped for global migration dynamics.<br/>To that extent, this study has developed the...master thesis 2018

Rijntjes, Jeroen (author)One of the most important challenges facing academic, industrial and policy-making sectors is meeting with the increasing energy demand while preserving the affordability of the energy and maintaining the quality of the planet earth (including the environment, specially by reducing its greenhouse gas footprint). This global challenge demands for...master thesis 2018

Vallaeys, Valentin (author), Kärnä, Tuomas (author), Delandmeter, Philippe (author), Lambrechts, Jonathan (author), Baptista, António M. (author), Deleersnijder, E.L.C. (author), Hanert, Emmanuel (author)The Columbia River (CR) estuary is characterized by high river discharge and strong tides that generate high velocity flows and sharp density gradients. Its dynamics strongly affects the coastal ocean circulation. Tidal straining in turn modulates the stratification in the estuary. Simulating the hydrodynamics of the CR estuary and plume...journal article 2018

Klees, R. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), Farahani, H. (author)The paper is about a methodology to combine a noisy satellite-only global gravity field model (GGM) with other noisy datasets to estimate a local quasi-geoid model using weighted least-squares techniques. In this way, we attempt to improve the quality of the estimated quasi-geoid model and to complement it with a full noise covariance matrix...journal article 2018

(author)Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have enabled fabrication of highly porous titanium implants that combine the excellent biocompatibility of bulk titanium with all the benefits that a regular volume-porous structure has to offer (e.g. lower stiffness values comparable to those of bone). Clinical application of such...journal article 2018

Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Additive manufacturing (AM) (=3D printing) has emerged during the last few years as a powerful technological platform for fabrication of functional parts with unique complex geometries and superior functionalities that are next to impossible to achieve using conventional manufacturing techniques. Due to their importance in industrial...contribution to periodical 2018

Alshiroofi, Duaa (author)Subsurface carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration is a promising technology to reduce the CO2 emission into the atmosphere. After injection into subsurface formation, the carbon dioxide plume can migrate several kilometres until it is fully trapped. Four major mechanisms play an important role in trapping which include structural trapping, residual...master thesis 2017

R. (author)The potential of shale reservoirs for gas extraction is largely determined by the permeability of the rock. Typical pore diameters in shales range from the μm down to the nm scale. The permeability of shale reservoirs is a function of the interconnectivity between the pore space and the natural fracture network present. We have measured the...journal article 2017

Candy, A.S. (author)A new approach to modelling free surface flows is developed that enables, for the first time, 3D consistent non-hydrostatic baroclinic physics that wets and drys in the large aspect ratio spatial domains that characterise geophysical systems. This is key in the integration of physical models to permit seamless simulation in a single...journal article 2017

Hoving, J.S. (author), Metrikine, A. (author)This contribution considers the wave reflection at the interface between a discrete lattice that describes the nonlinear near-field response to a dynamic load and a matching system that describes the linear far-field response. The near-field system is modelled as a one-dimensional discrete system of particles that is capable of describing...conference paper 2017

Shajahan, T. (author)The use of detailed numerical simulations for practical applications or in the study of complex flow phenomenon is limited by the computational cost. Over the last two decades, reduced order models (ROMs) have become a viable alternative on account of their low computational cost. ROMs capture only the essential dynamics of interest rather than...master thesis 2016

Biljecki, F. (author), Ledoux, H. (author), Stoter, J.E. (author)The production and dissemination of semantic 3D city models is rapidly increasing benefiting a growing number of use cases. However, their availability in multiple LODs and in the CityGML format is still problematic in practice. This hinders applications and experiments where multi-LOD datasets are required as input, for instance, to determine...conference paper 2016
