Lovato, S. (author)The increasing size of today's ships is a major concern for navigation in confined waters. In order to ensure safe manoeuvres, port authorities prescribe, among others, a minimum under-keel clearance that must be maintained by the ships during navigation. However, the seabed of ports situated at the estuaries or along rivers is often covered by...doctoral thesis 2023

Kamel Targhi, Elahe (author), Emami Niri, Mohammad (author), Zitha, P.L.J. (author)Cross-linked polymer gel is widely used in the oil and gas industry to block high permeability conduits and reduce water cut. The complex nature of this fluid, especially regarding flow in porous media, makes its numerical simulation very time-consuming. This study presents an approach to designing an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model...journal article 2023

Ma, Sebastiaan (author)The Port of Rotterdam experiences large amounts of siltation from the upstream rivers in its basins and canals every year. Furthermore, container vessels increase in size every decade and therefore require a larger navigational depth. These two factors cause the yearly amount of dredged material to increase. Currently, mainly trailing suction...master thesis 2022

Novell Morell, Mònica (author)Tailings storage facilities (TSF) are engineered structures that retain mixed waste material (known as mine tailings material) from mining processes in liquid or slurry form. One of the issues regarding TSF management is the lack of site investigation and sample analyses, which cause the uncertainty of geotechnical properties of mine tailings...master thesis 2022

Lovato, S. (author), Kirichek, Alex (author), Toxopeus, S.L. (author), Settels, J.W. (author), Keetels, G.H. (author)When investigating the effect of muddy seabeds on marine vessels using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, one challenge is to adequately describe the complex non-Newtonian fluid behaviour of mud. Although a number of rheological models have been proposed in the past, mud sediments are often simply regarded either as highly viscous...journal article 2022

Lovato, S. (author), Keetels, G.H. (author), Toxopeus, S. L. (author), Settels, J. W. (author)This article presents a new turbulence closure based on the k-ω SST model for predicting turbulent flows of Herschel–Bulkley fluids, including Bingham and power-law fluids. The model has been calibrated with direct numerical simulations (DNS) data for fully-developed pipe flow of shear-thinning and viscoplastic fluids. The new model shows...journal article 2022

ten Brummelhuis, Erwin (author)Siltation of fine (cohesive) sediment in navigation channels and harbour basins may cause serious problems for the shipping industry. Intensive maintenance dredging is required to ensure safe shipping traffic. Conventional dredging methods are highly expensive, and therefore port authorities seek for more efficient solutions to reduce costs. One...master thesis 2021

Mao, Jinjie (author)In this study, we introduce the Delft Advanced Research Terra Simulator (DARTS), which employs the Operator-Based Linearization (OBL) approach to provide efficient and precise solutions for non-linear discretized equations, to simulate the polymer flooding process. This compositional simulation framework is feasible for describing complex...master thesis 2021

Thota Radhakrishnan, A.K. (author), Poelma, C. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Transition from laminar to turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids is investigated using velocimetry data. These data are obtained by applying particle image velocimetry to images obtained through ultrasound imaging (echography). This yielded the observation of intermittent structures (puffs and slugs) that are formed during transition. Post...journal article 2020

Mehta, D. (author), Thota Radhakrishnan, A.K. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)This article concerns the turbulent flow of Herschel–Bulkley slurries through circular horizontal pipes; in particular, that of concentrated domestic slurry obtained upon separation of domestic waste water and reduction in the use of water for domestic purposes. Experiments with a rheologically equivalent clay (kaolin) slurry indicated a non...journal article 2020

Prades, Lledó (author), Fabbri, Stefania (author), Dorado, Antonio D. (author), Gamisans, Xavier (author), Stoodley, Paul (author), Picioreanu, C. (author)Experimental data showed that high-speed microsprays can effectively disrupt biofilms on their support substratum, producing a variety of dynamic reactions such as elongation, displacement, ripple formation, and fluidization. However, the mechanics underlying the impact of high-speed turbulent flows on biofilm structure is complex under such...journal article 2020

Lampaert, S.G.E. (author), van Ostayen, R.A.J. (author)The rheological behavior of many lubricants used in hydrodynamic bearings can reasonably be modeled using the Bingham plastic material model. This behavior is characterized by a strong discontinuity, from a pure solid state to a viscous fluid state depending on the local shear stress. In literature three methods have been presented to model a...journal article 2020

Jorna, Stijn (author)Deep-sea mining is becoming more popular. The Atlantis II Deep is a deep sea mining field of metalliferous muds in the Red Sea. This field could be exploited by transporting the sediments through a pipeline laid from shore onto the sea bed to the field. From determined concentrations with their shear stress-shear rate relation, parameters for...master thesis 2019

Salazar Castillo, R.O. (author), Ter Haar, Sterre F. (author), Ponners, Christopher G. (author), Bos, Martijn (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)Foam can improve sweep efficiency in gas-injection-enhanced oil recovery. Surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) is a favored method of foam injection. Laboratory data indicate that foam can be non-Newtonian at low water fractional flow f<sub>w</sub>, and therefore during gas injection in a SAG process. We investigate the implications of this...journal article 2019

Mehta, D. (author), Thota Radhakrishnan, A.K. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)The concentration of domestic slurry has two advantages, it promotes resource recovery (nutrients and biomass) and saves water. But the design of a relevant sewerage requires a clear understanding of the frictional losses incurred during the transport of the slurry.
