Unlocking the Potential of Public EV Charging: A machine learning approach for the prediction of individual public EV charging session flexibility

De integratie van openbaar vervoer en doelgroepenvervoer in landelijke gebieden in Nederland: Een algemeen toepasbaar evaluatiemodel en case studie in Noord-Limburg

EventHUB: A self-sustaining and relocatable pavilion for events

For the design of the EventHUB a research was done on the possibilities for renewable onsite power production for temporary outdoor events. The research concluded that flexible PV cells were an interesting possibility and were here for used as starting point for the architectural design. During the design process the integration of the PV cells...

Macrophytes in estuarine gradients: Flow through flexible vegetation

Aquatic plants –or macrophytes- are an important part of coastal, estuarine and freshwater ecosystems worldwide, both from an ecological and an engineering viewpoint. Their meadows provide a wide range of ecosystem services: forming a physical protection of the shoreline, enhancing water quality and harbouring many other organisms. Unfortunately...

Modeling the interaction between flow and highly flexible aquatic vegetation

Aquatic vegetation has an important role in estuaries and rivers by acting as bed stabilizer, filter, food source and nursing area. However, macrophyte populations worldwide are under high anthropogenic pressure. Protection and restoration efforts will benefit from more insight into the interaction between vegetation, currents, waves and...

Measurements and modelling of the effects of seagrass meadows on flow and sediment transport in the Bay of l’Ecluse, Dinard, France

Seagrasses are a valuable but threatened part of coastal systems. To aid restoration attempts, a model has been made to study the effect of such flexible aquatic vegetation on flow and sediment transport. Because this model needs to be tested against field results, a field experiment was undertaken around an eelgrass meadow in Dinard, France....

How to account for flexible aquatic vegetation in large-scale morphodynamic models

Worldwide, aquatic vegetation is important for the physical and ecological condition of coastal areas. Unfortunately, this vegetation (e.g. seagrasses) is also under pressure due to human activities. Protection and restoration are cumbersome, particularly because the complex relations between vegetation and its environment are not yet well...

Modelling hydrodynamics in Eelgrass (Zostera Marina)

In many areas around the world, there is a large interest in the protection and restoration of aquatic vegetation, like eelgrass (Zostera marina), but little is known about the interaction of such vegetation with its environment. To improve this knowledge, a model has been developed that simulates this interaction between highly flexible...
