Geothermal energy can be promising to help the energy transition. Warm water is pumped up from a geothermal well and after it is cooled down, the cold water is reinjected into the hot aquifer underground. The temperature change could cause chemical balances to be disturbed and result in precipitation on the porous medium of the aquifer. This...

Combustion is and remains for the foreseeable future an essential chemical process. The physical and mathematical modelling of such processes can help to optimise the design and operation of combustion furnaces which is critical for fuel efficiency. Given the combined complexity and interaction of the gas flow dynamics and the reaction processes...

In dit verslag is een eolisch sedimenttransport model geformuleerd en het model van De Vries geïmplementeerd en geanalyseerd. Na de afleiding van de eendimensionale advectie-diffusievergelijking vanuit de driedimensionale continuïteitsvergelijking is eerst het model van De Vries zonder diffusie onderzocht. In het model kan er onderscheid gemaakt...

The training of diffusion-based models for image generation is predominantly controlled by a select few Big Tech companies, raising concerns about privacy, copyright, and data authority due to the lack of transparency regarding training data. Hence, we propose a federated diffusion model scheme that enables the independent and collaborative...

This paper describes the process and evaluation methods by which we adapted a Reaction-Diffusion model and an order parameter to monitor its segregation state in a 2D Cellular Automaton model. The model simulates Turing pattern formations, whose behavior will be studied by an order parameter formulated for this project. This order parameter acts...

Synthetic art is the end result of artificial intelligence models that have been trained to generate images from text prompts. "Comic synthesis" is one such use case, where comic illustrations are produced from textual descriptions. Previous attempts at comic synthesis have utilized conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs), but this...

In 1952, Alan M. Turing presented a reaction-diffusion model that described formation of skin patterns. The patterns he predicted have later been found in various natural phenomena, such as in skins of fish or even in vegetation around termite hills. His patterns have even been taken to the micro-level. In 1984, David A. Young proposed a...

In several experiments, enzymes have shown an in increase in diffusivity in the presence of their substrate. The enhancement in diffusivity ranged from as low as 28% for urease to 80% in the case of alkaline phosphatase. There are two main competing theories. One asserts that catalytically driven boosts propel the enzyme forward in ‘leaps’,...

To regulate pollution emission of $\text{NO}_2$ and greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide and methane, satellite images of the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) are used to map the spread of air pollution. This instrument delivers near-daily 'snapshots' of the $\text{NO}_2$ concentration over the whole Earth. In this report, first,...

In this thesis, the diffusive limit of active particle motion in R<sup>d</sup> is studied via a technique based on homogenisation. Thereafter, this study is extended to active particle motion on a Riemannian manifold. <br/><br/>Furthermore, as an application of active particle motion, a connection is made with the Dirac equation. On the basis of...

This paper accelerates the rendering of diffusion curves using the ray tracing cores found on modern NVIDIA graphics cards using the method described by Bowers et al. [Bowers, Leahey and Wang 2011]. This method approximates the final result of the Poisson equation and in this paper is accelerated using Optix and dedicated ray tracing hardware....

In this paper the research behind the parallelization on the GPU of the time parallel time integration method Parareal. Firstly, the theory behind Parareal and its convergence theorems will be detailed. Then, two test models, the Lorenz system and Heat diffusion equation, will be introduced. Additionally, the derivation of the Forward Euler and...

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are a new class of numerical methods for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) that have been very promising. In this paper, four different implementations will be tested and compared. These include: the original PINN functional with equal weights for the interior and boundary loss, the same...

Cholera is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Infections can occur directly via contact with infected people, but also indirectly via infected water. Because of these direct, but especially indirect infections, it is useful to investigate the spread of the disease using mathematical epidemic models. In this report a...

The growing amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is worldwide a huge problem. There is an increasing amount of projects that try to clean up this pollution. To remove the pollution efficiently, it is useful to know how plastic litter moves, degrades and sinks. Models are being developed that can describe what happens with plastic in the...

In this thesis, we model the diusion of a tracer polymer inside of a gel network and simulate it, hoping to nd a connection between the diusion of the polymer and the strength of the gel network. This model is made by using the Rouse model for the gel network and the tracer polymer.<br/>The overdamped Langevin equation is then used to nd a set...

Cells of the most common organisms like plants and animals are filled with polymeric networks that fulfil important functions of the cell. There is however no analytically solvable model that describes diffusion in such a cell. This thesis presents a model for diffusion in polymeric environments, and some predictions about the behaviour of the...

Diffusion curves as defined by Orzan et al. (2008) have so far been only applied to single, static images. We propose a system to construct diffusion curves over a sequence of images. These curves can then be used to construct depth and motion information to augment the image sequence.

Recent research (John et al., 2008) has shown that the usual way of measuring dispersion in flow through permeable layers doesn’t distinguish between dispersion caused by convective spreading and mixing. Dispersion is used to mean both the variation of arrival times of material at a well and the molecular mixing of components in a reservoir....

In this thesis the effect of gas diffusion between bubbles on the bubble-size distribution and capillary resistance to foam flow in a bubble train is investigated using an idealized 2D pore model. First the shape of the model pore is discussed and how a lamella moves through it. Then the physical forces (lamella curvatures and pressure...
