Mussert, Rosalie (author)Mangrove forests are highly valuable environments that offer numerous ecosystem services, including carbon storage, serving as nurseries for fish and shrimp, and providing timber. Additionally, these ecosystems offer coastline protection against erosion and flooding by attenuating waves and trapping sediment. Despite the crucial role of mangrove...master thesis 2024

Lentner, Mateusz (author)Hydrogen is one of aviation's most promising fuel alternatives in the coming years. However, to store it, a large and light vessel is needed. <br/><br/>The solution to this problem can be the carbon fibre fuel tank. Composite structures provide significant weight savings, which is crucial in this application. However, despite its superior...master thesis 2024

Thillaigovindarasu, Raghavi (author)Mangrove forests are important wetland ecosystems that inhabit intertidal zones within tropical and sub-tropical latitudes. They offer a diverse array of ecosystem services, including coastal protection and carbon sequestration. Despite their significance, global mangrove cover has declined in recent decades, prompting various restoration...master thesis 2023

Al Atwah, SALEH (author)Permeability, a key reservoir characteristic, governs the rate of fluid flow through reservoir rocks. Accurate permeability estimates are paramount for robust reservoir simulation, history matching, and production forecasting. Due to limited core data availability and intrinsic heterogeneity of permeability at different scales, establishing...master thesis 2023

Wang, Keyang (author)Ceramic ultrafiltration is a promising technology for water reclamation, but issues with membrane fouling and the removal of organic micro-pollutants have limited its development. Recent research has shown that catalysis-based ultrafiltration has the potential to address these problems. In this study, catalysis-modified (CuFe2O4 and Pd)...master thesis 2023

Gravenberch, Jip (author)Vegetated permeable pavement systems (VPPS) contribute to a more climate-resilient application of urban water management. However, a complete hydrologic evaluation of vegetated permeable pavement systems has not been found in existing literature. This research presents an evaluation of the hydrologic performance of VPPS under Dutch climatic...master thesis 2022

Alferink, Marijn (author)The coastline of Demak, Indonesia has been eroded during the last 15 years. To restore the natural coastal protection which existed out of mangroves forest, permeable dams, consisting of bamboo poles with a brushwood filling, have been built to attenuate the waves and facilitate sedimentation behind the dams and thus creating a habitat for...master thesis 2022

Zaaijer, Floris (author)Mechanical air entrapment, void compression and void dissolution are the main mechanisms behind void formation in liquid composite molding. Mechanical air entrapment is induced by the highly non-uniform geometry at the meso- and micro-scale and the heterogeneous properties of the reinforcing material. This results in differences in the velocity...master thesis 2021

Hartog, Friso (author)Turbulent drag is the largest source of fuel consumption in aviation and forms a significant contribution to climate warming. Recent numerical studies have suggested the ability of surfaces with streamwise-preferential permeability to reduce turbulent friction, and a theoretical framework behind the working mechanism has been proposed. This work...master thesis 2021

Kiers, Denise (author)There is a growing urbanization trend in Amsterdam, this causes dwellings to be less affordable. That is why several areas in Amsterdam are being densified. One of these areas is Sloterdijk Centrum, a typical monofunctional office park of the 80’s and 90’s. The municipality wants to transform this park to a lively mixed use area by adding new...master thesis 2021

Kozicka, Aleksandra (author)The presented project concerns the design concept and process, as well as the preceding methodologies for the development of an architectural intervention in the Rotterdam South. Main notion of the project is the idea of permanent transition in the architectural and urbanistic realms. The concept of migration is used as the starting point for...master thesis 2021

Kaptein, Milou (author)The control of infiltration and seepage of water is one ofthe most challenging tasks in water management and civil-engineering and, inan attempt to control this, methods for forming a waterimpermeable layer inthe soil have been widely practised in soil engineering (Laumann et al., 2018;Proto et al., 2016). The use of...master thesis 2021

FANG, XIANG (author)In the post-industrial city, storage is not physical and immobile. The increasing digital storage flows, such as data, knowledge, and information, play a vital role in determining the physical parameters in cities. Ideas, as the collective term for knowledge and information, can be stored in the digital medium. This paper addresses the topic of...master thesis 2021

Gerritsma, Isabel (author)Degrading mangrove forests and coinciding erosive coastlines is an urgent global concern. Mangroves are essential for their interaction with hydrodynamic and sediment processes at mangrove-mud coasts. Earlier on, solutions were sought in building ’hard’ structures, such as concrete sea walls, to lower incoming wave energy and enhance...master thesis 2020

Design of actively controlled semi- permeable trailing edge inserts for aeroacoustic noise reductionKhan, Y. (author)An experimental study is conducted on the design of actively controlled semi-permeable inserts for mitigating turbulent boundary layer noise originating from the trailing edge of an airfoil. Two sets of perforated inserts with hole diameter: 0.8 mm and hole spacing: 1.5 mm & 3 mm, are considered. The inserts are 3-D printed with a middle...master thesis 2020

Grofelnik, L. (author)Skopje has developed through a series of erasures and periods of rebuilding, each time with an aim to establish a new order. Conversely, the common culture can be best recognized in self organized commercial spaces in the city, which emerge from activities taking place and forming the physical. The city centre is fragmented in pieces of imposed...master thesis 2020

Jansen, Wiljan (author)Mangrove forests, which serve as a natural sea defence, have been degraded by human action during the last decades. To protect and recover these areas, different types of permeable structures consisting of bamboo have been proposed and applied. However, these structures are currently based on engineering judgement, as design rules are not...master thesis 2019

van Grieken, Jesper (author)In this thesis, a general method to predict the notional permeability for various structure lay-outs is developed. A numerical model is used to find a characteristic value for different structure lay-outs: the three structures for which Van der Meer determined the P-value, and a fourth structure of which the P-value has to be predicted. The P...master thesis 2019
