Visualizing massive computation fluid dynamic outputs in game engines using voxelization and dynamic loading

Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are used in a diverse set of fields such as aerodynamics, automotive, biomedical engineering and wind impact. With the advancements in technology the scale of these simulations has increased significantly. This has resulted in \textit{massive} CFD simulations --- simulations that do not fully fit...

Techno-economical feasibility study of ammonia as a fuel to decarbonize a trailing suction hopper dredger

To keep the global warming of the Earth to a minimum, the greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced. Van Oord aims to be carbon neutral by 2050; therefore, Van Oord is exploring alternative fuels. Ammonia is a promising option to use as a fuel due to the forty times lower well-to-wake emissions than MGO when it is produced with green energy....

Extension of the Use of a Single Degree of Freedom Model for Non-Uniform Load Distributions

In this research the translation of non-uniform load distributions to equivalent uniform load distributions has been investigated. The equivalent uniform load can be used as input for a single degree of freedom model to compute vulnerability analyses in which hundreds of scenarios need to be analysed.

'Making ultra-supercritical pulverized coal-fired power plants flexible': 'Assessment and optimization of sub-Benson turndown ratio'

Large-scale coal-fired power plants are typically designed as base-load units. This means that they are traditionally run at continuous high loading levels, most often full-load. The current energy market asks for more flexibility as renewable energy sources continue to penetrate the energy market. Coal-fired power plants are forced to operate...

Dynamic loading and task migration for streaming applications on a composable system-on-chip

MPSoCs offer more and more processing capability to embedded systems. As a result, an increasing number of applications run on one system, sharing MPSoC resources. Some of these applications are streaming applications and may have real-time demands, e.g., guaranteed throughput, hence their temporal behavior has to be verified at design-time....

Static and dynamic loads on the first row of interlocking, single layer armour units

Interlocking, single layer concrete armour units are placed in a specific grid depending on the type of armour unit. Within this grid, armour units are placed in horizontal rows. The number of horizontal rows of single layer armour units on a breakwater is limited to 20. This limit is proposed in order to prevent major settlements, which might...
