Singhal, Akhilesh (author)The rise in temperature attributed to human CO2 emissions and the escalating energy needs of society necessitates the development of clean energy production. Solar and wind energy, both renewable sources, have emerged as cost-effective alternatives to conventional fossil fuel systems. They now account for a substantial portion of the world's...master thesis 2023

Sharma, Astha (author)In the past decade, suction caissons have emerged as a preferred offshore foundation solution for wind turbines due to their silent installation process and potential for recyclability. However, there has been growing speculation regarding the necessity of under base filling, which involves filling the gap between the top plate of the suction...master thesis 2023

Veldhuijzen van Zanten, Daan (author)In this thesis the performance of five CPT-based p-y models by Novello (1999), Dyson & Randolph (2001), Li, et al. (2014) and Suryasentana & Lehane (2014;2016) is assessed. This is done in part by comparing the measured load-deflection response from a set of lab- and field tests that is representative for offshore monopile structures to...master thesis 2022

Vermani, Sanjay (author)Industrial processes are estimated to be responsible for about 20 % of the total greenhouse gas emissions within the European Union (EU). The majority of the industrial energy demand is related to the thermal energy required for process heating. Thus, there is a need to make radical changes to the industrial heating supply to achieve net-zero...master thesis 2022

Kleermaker, Wim (author)The constant impingement of sand particles on the wetted surfaces of a centrifugal dredge pump causes the performance of the pump to deteriorate. Therefore, components or complete pumps have to be replaced after some time. The use of numerical models to estimate the erosion wear in centrifugal dredge pumps can give insight into the principal...master thesis 2021

Frans Loekito, Frans (author)The use of centrifugal compressors is widespread in many different industrial applications, namely refrigeration cycles, oil and gas rotating equipments, automotive turbochargers and small aero-engines. Compared to their axial counterpart, centrifugal compressors can provide the same compression ratio within less compression stages, trading-off...master thesis 2021

van Adrichem, Steve (author)The aim of this research is to find the influence of rapid drawdown on dike stability with the Delta21 project as case study. The Delta21 project is a proposed plan for a waterdefence system in front of the Haringvliet, The Netherlands. Its main element is a water retaining lake with an extensive pumping and turbine system. Whenever other storm...master thesis 2021

in 't Veld, Maarten (author)One classic challenge in pump operation is the occurrence of cavitation. Cavitation is the forming of vapour bubbles in a fluid due to a local drop in pressure, followed by a subsequent implosion of those bubbles due to an increase in pressure. The vapour formed can significantly decrease pump efficiency and the implosion can be detrimental to...master thesis 2021

van den Boogaard, Tim (author)Transportation of slurries over a distance has always been one of the main objectives for the dredging industry. To accomplish a transport, centrifugal dredge pumps and mixture pipelines need to be perfectly intertwined. For the centrifugal dredge pump, available information is relatively scattered or confidential. The performance of a...master thesis 2020

Honardar, Siavash (author)The aim of this project is to elaborate upon the design proposal of a miniature cone penetration test device. The usage of CPTs in the geotechnical centrifuges has proven to be a reliable experimental method. The usage of a CPT in a centrifuge can provide determinant results for many applications of geotechnical experimentation. The usage of...student report 2019

Wang, Frank (author)Marine pipelines are widely used for transporting hydrocarbon material. However, they can be damaged by marine geo-hazards such as seabed liquefaction, as they may sink, float or be dragged by the moving soil. One of the triggering mechanism of seabed liquefaction is the increase of seabed inclination as a result of the souring process or human...student report 2019

Quinten, Tristan (author)As a result of population growth and economical prosperity, energy consumption has been on the rise for decades. Present-day projections predict the continuation of this trend with the rapid industrialization of former second world countries. Together with the rise of energy demand, incentives fo the scientific community to quantify the...master thesis 2019

Quinten, Tristan (author)Investigating soil response before, during and following large scale, dynamic events like slope failure or impact hammering of monopiles, is challenging. Full scale research into these processes is often conducted in the field, as laboratories don’t offer the required space to conduct these experiments. Apart fromthe monumental costs related to...student report 2019

Bijvoet, Bastiaan (author)In industry, fired heaters are used to heat process fluids and to generate steam. The efficiency of these devices is increased with air preheating. Gnerally, the flow through the air preheaters is driven by a centrifugal fan, via forced draft. Through a widening transition duct (large angle diffuser), air flows from the fan towards the air...master thesis 2019

Werkhoven, Jeroen (author)CSD spillage is defined as “any soil that is dislodged above the lowest cutter tip trajectory of a single swing, but is not sucked into the suction pipe”. In addition to higher energy consumption and material wear for delivering the targeted depth, spillage can lead to a variety of environmental issues. As of yet, no analytical model exists in...master thesis 2019

Gerlach, Simon (author)As soil behaviour is stress-dependent, a centrifuge model with tilting sample box was developed to generate liquefaction flow slides at higher confining stresses. The design and experimental set-up were based on the large liquefaction tank (de Jager et al., 2017). Fluidisation was used as sample preparation technique to produce a saturated,...master thesis 2018

van Stappen, Jeroen (author)At large oceans depths (5000m) manganese nodules are formed, these are rock shaped objects that contain various rare earth metals, Royal IHC is currently developing equipment to bring these nodules to the shore. The nodules will be transported to the water surface using a Vertical Transport System (VTS).<br/><br/>In the VTS insight of the...master thesis 2018

van Zeben, Joris (author)During the last decade, the focus of offshore activities have shifted from oil and gas production to offshore wind farm creation to reach the clean energy targets set by different nations. Foundation requirements for offshore structures have shifted because of this. The monolithic nature of windmills allows the use of a single open-ended steel...master thesis 2017

Azua Gonzalez, Carlos (author)Many farms of wind turbines are being installed worldwide as a response to clean energy targets. These farms are usually installed in offshore environments since limitations of space can be encountered or due to public pressure against the visual disruption that farms can cause in urban areas. These offshore wind turbines are commonly founded on...master thesis 2017
