Sitaram, Arnish (author)Unsteady numerical simulation has been proven to be an essential tool for research. The quality of the results can be improved by using mesh adaptation. Mesh adaptation uses error indicators to refine the mesh in regions with high errors. The error indicators used are output errors with the most accurate output error estimation method being...master thesis 2023

Wundsam, Alina (author)There are more and more women who participate in sports on a professional level. The Olympic games in 1964, in Japan, have been the first ones where almost half of the athletes participating were female. But still, a lot of female athletes train based on what has worked for men. As in many other fields, there is a research data gap because...master thesis 2023

Sharma, Anirvin (author)Image data augmentation has been regarded as a reliable and effective way to increase the data available for training. With the advent and rise of Generative AI, generative data augmentation has been shown to realize even better gains in performance for downstream tasks. However, these performance gains are often the cause of "extra information"...master thesis 2023

de Fuijk, Dirk (author)Adequate modeling of the unsteady aerodynamics during flow separation is critical for effective pilot training in Flight Simulation Training Devices. Over the years, a stall modeling method rooted in Kirchhoff's theory of flow separation has gained popularity due to its relative simplicity and suitability for parameter identification from flight...master thesis 2023

Vinatselas, Theodoros (author)This thesis discusses the characterization of the undrained shear strength, S_u from the net cone resistance, q_net of clay in Dutch sites using Hierarchical Bayesian Modelling (HBM). The performance of the HBM is compared with the current practice methods of the site characterization which propose either the use of only site–specific...master thesis 2023

Bettini, Andrea (author)This thesis presents an energy-conservative data-driven approach in modelling the closure terms of the Navier-Stokes equations casted through the Variational Multiscale (VMS) framework. For context, the VMS framework is applied in designing stabilised finite element methods for multiscale phenomena in which stability is not guaranteed. Under...master thesis 2023

van Ede, Matthijs (author)Classical RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) turbulence models have limited accuracy in the prediction of the flow over the wing-body geometry. Therefore, this work focuses on improving the prediction accuracy of the classical k-ω SST turbulence model for the junction flow by means of the data-driven method SpaRTA. In the SpaRTA methodology...master thesis 2023
