The recirculation near Maasvlakte 2 in the Rhine ROFI: Assessing the influence of a manmade headland and baroclinic processes

In times of rapid urbanization, engineering interventions in coastal systems have become more common. It is important to understand the interplay of these engineered solutions with their natural environment to minimize hazardous side effects to our ecology, economy and coastal safety. In a numerical study by Rijnsburger (2021), a flow...

CFD Modeling of Two-Stage Parallel Plate Sedimentation Centrifuge for Microalgae Dewatering

As one of the most fast growing species on earth, microalgae provides great potential to satisfy the ever increasing demand in food, energy and material in a sustainable way. The focus for this thesis work is on one of the most important bottle neck of microalgae harvest process: microalgae dewatering, by CFD modeling of the flow and...
