Purpose: Glass material is largely used for load-bearing components in buildings. For this reason, standardized calculation methods can be used in support of safe structural design in common loading and boundary conditions. Differing from earlier literature efforts, the present study elaborates on the load-bearing capacity, failure time and...

Understanding key flooding processes such as wave overtopping and overflow (i.e., water flows over a structure when the crest level of the structure is lower than the water level in front) is crucial for coastal management and coastal safety assessment. In port and harbour environments, waves are not only perpendicular to the coastal...

The infrared thermography (IRT) technique has shown great potential with many applications in a variety of fields, such as aerospace, petroleum, civil engineering, and so forth. This chapter is designed to provide an overview of the method of IRT in non-destructive material evaluation. It begins with the general introduction and development...

Laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition on the wings and stabilizers of aircraft leads to a large increase in the skin-friction drag they experience during flight. This has motivated prolific research into understanding and delaying the transition process, in an effort to improve the economic and ecological impact of air travel. The swept...

Coupled mathematical models are used successfully to represent systemic blood flow with different degrees of precision: for example, 3D representations in zones of particular interest (e.g., the aortic bifurcation) are embedded into 1D models who account for systemic blood circulation. When it comes to the lymphatic system, various 1D models for...

To overcome the problem of wave-induced vessel motions on the crane tip, technologies have been developed to compensate for these motions. Most vessels nowadays, are equipped with dynamic positioning systems, these systems reduce the yaw, surge and sway movement of the vessel. This leaves, the motions roll, pitch and heave uncompensated. To...

The feasibility of installing a suction system, which consists of a pump and pipeline for transporting sediment from the sediment trap to the reallocation site to complement the water injection dredging (WID) method is accessed in this thesis. The combination of a suction system and a water injection dredger is called central suction-WID system....

Offshore pipelines are considered the arteries of the offshore oil and gas industry and transport hydrocarbon products as well as other fluids. During the installation process of an offshore pipeline, the pipeline is most often located in a trench and covered with backfill material. The burial of the pipeline ensures onbottom stability as well...

Suction caissons have been used extensively for anchoring and supporting the offshore installations like oil platforms and wind turbines. These foundations are normally subjected to complex combinations of the vertical, horizontal and moment loads (i.e. V, H, M) from the self-weight, wind, wave and currents. In the past decades, extensive...

In the last few years, the climate crisis has been accelerating at a dizzying pace and poses an emergency threat to our planet. Rainfalls have transformed into intense downpours, and flash flooding, combined with the sea level rise, leads to a higher risk of inundation of densely populated coastal cities. Moreover, the melting of the permafrost...

On the east coast of Romania, at Eforie, coastal erosion manifests. To strengthen the coastal area a large coastal protection project was setup involving beach nourishment combined with the construction of breakwaters. The breakwaters are designed with the well-known modified Van der Meer formulas. To ensure confidence in the breakwaters...

New solutions for future flooding problems are becoming more important than ever before. Emergency measures against failure of flood defenses may play an important role in flood risk management and is therefore currently being investigated. One of these measures is the BresDefender, which is a submersible floating pontoon that can be placed on...

As the environment is changing temperatures are changing, becoming more extreme. This is expected to affect the oceans and its transport, specifically the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The Labrador Sea is a part of the AMOC, where overturning in depth and density space occurs, due to deep convection. Deep convection is the...

The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is an appealing framework to apply to unsteady, incompressible, low Reynolds number flow due to its simplicity and potential for massive parallelisation. The immersed boundary method is often used in conjunction with the LBM to simulate flow around curved, moving boundaries in the interior of the fluid domain....

Reducing the concentration of hydrogen and oxygen dissolved in the electrolyte helps to increase the efficiency of alkaline water electrolysis. This thesis provides an account of the evolution of dissolved concentration in the vicinity of the electrode surface for alkaline water electrolysis for the bubble size, the electrode height, the...

Coastal protection is required to keep coastal areas protected during storm conditions. Coastal dunes are a natural defense against flooding and erosion from the sea against storms. Many insights have been obtained regarding the positive effects of coastal dune vegetation on dune formation and growth in the past. Several recent studies have...

The world is currently in a global energy transition. To reach the global energy goals requires massive deployment of clean and efficient energy technologies. The use of solar photovoltaic (PV) therefore has to be scaled up. Offshore deployment of floating PV would be a suitable solution. There are currently different concepts in development for...

Delft University of Technology has access to a towing tank where a wave maker can generate waves. When generating waves, non-linear start-up effects occur at the start of a wave train which affect the rest of the signal.<br/> The aim of this thesis is to develop a model which can take these effects into account. A numerical modelling approach is...
