do Lago, Cesar A.F. (author), Giacomoni, Marcio H. (author), Bentivoglio, Roberto (author), Taormina, R. (author), Gomes, Marcus N. (author), Mendiondo, Eduardo M. (author)Two-dimensional hydrodynamic models are computationally expensive. This drawback can limit their application to solving problems requiring real-time predictions or several simulation runs. Although the literature presented improvements in using Deep Learning as an alternative to hydrodynamic models, Artificial Neural Networks applications for...journal article 2023

Jagarlapudi, Aravinda Virinchi (author)The Saturnian moon Titan has a methane-based hydrological cycle similar to the water cycle on earth. This includes lakes, fluvial drainage networks, clouds and has evidence for precipitation of methane rain. Here we explore the impact of rainfall on Titan based on an analogue laboratory approach. While the composition and structure of the Titan...master thesis 2022

Bouma, Rosemarijne (author)In this report, fruitful combinations in solving livability problems and rain water nuisances are explored for the case study of the Schilderswijk. The importance of this combination is found in the importance of the two of them seperately. Climate proofing neighbourhoods is necessary when considering climate change which will only increase rain...master thesis 2022

Haasnoot, David (author)Rain gauges are a powerful tool to measure rain entering a watershed. When water flow through a watershed is modeled, these rainfall measurements are used as inputs. Hydrological models have become increasingly complex as they more accurately represent the physical processes occurring. This is mostly done by increasing the spatial and temporal...bachelor thesis 2022

Di Curzio, Diego (author), Di Giovanni, Alessia (author), Lidori, Raffaele (author), Montopoli, Mario (author), Rusi, Sergio (author)Accurate knowledge of the rain amount is a crucial driver in several hydrometeorological applications. This is especially true in complex orography territories, which are typically impervious, thus, leaving most mountain areas ungauged. Due to their spatial and temporal coverage, weather radars can potentially overcome such an issue. However,...journal article 2022

Chen, Karen (author)In het project Delft Meet Regen zijn er ongeveer 90 inwoners in Delft die een eigen handmatige regenmeter hebben gekregen en elke ochtend het aantal millimeters regen meten dat gedurende de ongeveer 24 uur daaraan voorafgaand is gevallen. De data van deze regenmeters gedurende een periode van ongeveer 6 weken zijn vergeleken met die van het...bachelor thesis 2021

Alonso Diaz, Miguel (author)Rain erosion of leading edges in wind turbines caused by high-velocity droplet impacts is one of the current problems in wind energy that affects their energy production and maintenance costs. The most widespread solution for this problem is the application of viscoelastic coatings (generally, polyurethane) along the leading edge of the wind...master thesis 2021

Bartolome Marques, L.A. (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)Rain erosion on the leading edge of wind turbine blades is an intricate engineering challenge for the wind industry. Based on an energetic approach, this work proposes a methodology to characterise the erosion capacity of the raindrop impacts onto the leading edge blades. This methodology can be used with meteorological data from public...journal article 2021

Hu, Weifei (author), Chen, Weiyi (author), Wang, Xiaobo (author), Jiang, Zhiyu (author), Wang, Yeqing (author), Verma, Amrit Shankar (author), Teuwen, Julie J.E. (author)The rain-induced fatigue damage in the wind turbine blade coating has attracted increasing attention owing to significant repair and maintenance costs. The present paper develops an improved computational framework for analyzing the wind turbine blade coating fatigue induced by rain erosion. The paper first presents an extended stochastic...journal article 2021

Gerritsen, Gerben (author)To validate rainfall intensity in urban areas measured by satellite a first prototype proof of concept is introduced and tested. Using low-cost electronics an umbrella is converted into a mobile acoustic rain gauge which can be used in urban areas to measure rainfall intensities. A reed switch is placed in the umbrella to measure whether the...student report 2020

Bader, Daan (author)Hurricanes impose great threats on coastal communities in terms of hazard and impact. Recent hurricanes like Harvey (Texas, 2017) and Idai (Mozambique, 2019) emphasize the global character of this threat. In the U.S., Hurricane Harvey tied with 2005's Hurricane Katrina as the costliest tropical cyclone on record, inflicting $125 billion in...master thesis 2019

Oude Nijhuis, A.C.P. (author)Scanning radars are promising sensors for atmospheric remote sensing, giving potential to retrieve parameters that characterize the local air dynamics during rain. For the observation of air motion, radars are relying on the backscatter of particles, which can, for example, be raindrops or insects. To measure wind vectors and turbulence...doctoral thesis 2019

(author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Citizen science, as a complement to ground-based and remotely-sensed precipitation measurements, is a promising approach for improving precipitation observations. During the 2018 monsoon (May to September), SmartPhones4Water (S4W) Nepal—a young researcher-led water monitoring network—partnered with 154 citizen scientists to generate 6,656...journal article 2019

Akkaya, T. (author)Many mathematical models, which describe oscillations in elastic structures such as suspension bridges, conveyor belts and elevator cables, can be formulated as initial-boundary value problems for string (wave) equations, or for beam equations. In order to build more durable, elegant and lighter mechanical structures, the undesired vibrations...doctoral thesis 2018

Cecinati, Francesca (author), Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Rico-Ramirez, Miguel A. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)In urban hydrological models, rainfall is the main input and one of the main sources of uncertainty. To reach sufficient spatial coverage and resolution, the integration of several rainfall data sources, including rain gauges and weather radars, is often necessary. The uncertainty associated with rain gauge measurements is dependent on...journal article 2018

Akkaya, T. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author)In this paper, a model will be derived to describe the rain–wind-induced oscillations of an inclined cable. Water rivulets running along the cable and aerodynamics forces acting on the cable are taken into account to describe these oscillations. A boundary damper is assumed to be present near the lower endpoint of the cable. For a linearly...journal article 2018

Wang, Licheng (author)The interventions around old industrial areas are based on a landscape design, which can also be regarded as an introduce of the nature. The green land protects the heritages and absorb rain water. On the green land are renovated factories, which in a different environment, are given new identities. Connecting those old buildings are wooden...master thesis 2017

Nuijens, Louise (author), Emanuel, Kerry (author), Masunaga, Hirohiko (author), L’Ecuyer, Tristan (author)Space-borne observations reveal that 20–40% of marine convective clouds below the freezing level produce rain. In this paper we speculate what the prevalence of warm rain might imply for convection and large-scale circulations over tropical oceans. We present results using a two-column radiative–convective model of hydrostatic, nonlinear flow...journal article 2017

Lochbihler, K.U. (author), Lenderink, G. (author), Siebesma, A.P. (author)Observations show that subdaily precipitation extremes increase with dew point temperature at a rate exceeding the Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) relation. The understanding of this so-called super CC scaling is still incomplete, and observations of convective cell properties could provide important information. Here the size and intensity of rain...journal article 2017
