Haverkort, J.W. (author)Electrochemical engineering deals with electrochemical devices like electrolysers, fuel cells, and batteries. While several excellent books exist in this long-standing and still growing field, their focus is usually on chemistry or phenomenology. In this textbook, we focus on mathematical modelling of the physical phenomena involved. Instead of...book 2024

Hosseini, A. (author)HIsarna is a new and breakthrough smelting reduction technology for producing liquid hot metal for steelmaking directly from iron ores. Compared to the conventional blast furnace route, HIsarna achieves a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions by eliminating coking and the need for iron ore agglomeration processes such as sintering and pelletizing and...doctoral thesis 2023

Zhao, J. (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Wang, M. (author)Microscopic traffic flow models enable predictions of traffic operations, which allows traffic engineers to assess the efficiency and safety effects of roadway designs. Modeling vehicle trajectories inside intersections is challenging because there is an infinite number of possible paths in a two-dimensional space, and drivers can...journal article 2023

Tavakoli, Ali (author), Hashemi, Javad (author), Najafian, Mahyar (author), Ebrahimi, Amin (author)Solid-liquid phase transformation of a phase change material in a rectangular enclosure with corrugated fins is studied. Employing a physics-based model, the influence of fin length, thickness, and wave amplitude on the thermal and fluid flow fields is explored. Incorporating fins into thermal energy storage systems enhances the heat transfer...journal article 2023

Pantelidis, Theodoros P. (author), Chow, Joseph Y. J. (author), Cats, O. (author)We propose a new mechanism to design risk-pooling contracts between operators to improve service resilience during disruptions. We formulate a novel two-stage stochastic multicommodity flow model to determine the cost savings of a coalition under different disruption scenarios and solve it using L-shaped method along with sample average...journal article 2023

Storani, Facundo (author), Di Pace, Roberta (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)The paper proposes a traffic responsive control framework based on a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach. The framework focuses on a centralized method, which can simultaneously compute the network decision variables (i.e., the green timings at each junction and the offset of the traffic light plans of the network). Furthermore, the...journal article 2022

Storm, Pieter Jacob (author), Mandjes, Michel (author), van Arem, B. (author)This paper studies a Gaussian process approximation for a class of stochastic traffic flow models. It can be used to efficiently and accurately evaluate the joint (in the spatial and temporal sense) distribution of vehicle-density distributions in road traffic networks of arbitrary topology. The Gaussian approximation follows, via a scaling...journal article 2022

Dabiri, A. (author), Kulcsár, Balázs (author)Developed in this paper is a traffic flow model parametrised to describe abnormal traffic behaviour. In large traffic networks, the immediate detection and categorisation of traffic incidents/accidents is of capital importance to avoid breakdowns, further accidents. First, this claims for traffic flow models capable to capture abnormal...journal article 2022

Mohamed, Ahmed (author), Ahmed, Ezzat (author), Alshehri, Fahad (author), Abdelrady, Ahmed (author)The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) is made up of three major sub-basins: Kufra, Dakhla, and the N. Sudan Platform. It is one of the world’s largest groundwater systems. The aquifer’s hydrologic setting, connectivity of its sub-basins, and groundwater flow across these sub-basins are currently unclear. To address these issues, we used...journal article 2022

(author)Galvanized steel scrap flow and injection into the HIsarna reactor are investigated using discrete element method (DEM). The scrap particle is fed into the reactor through an inclined chute and hits the slag surface where the zinc content is evaporated and solid particles melt. A DEM model is setup and validated using experimental data...journal article 2022

(author), Li, Ying (author), Wu, Ping (author)The sustainable development of groundwater resources in arid and semi-arid regions is a challenging task hindered by climate change and human activities. The rational utilization and management of groundwater resources is, therefore, dependent on an understanding of the influences of human and climatic factors on the spatial distribution of...journal article 2022

Raju, Narayana (author), Arkatkar, Shriniwas (author), Easa, Said (author), Joshi, Gaurang (author)This study aims to model traffic flow under weak lane based heterogonous (mixed) traffic conditions. Unlike homogeneous traffic, when a follower (subject) vehicle in mixed traffic moves closer to its leader vehicle, it tends to adjust its longitudinal movement or change its lane and acts discretely. Due to this phenomenon, traffic flow modeling...journal article 2021

Natural Fracture Network Characterisation: Numerical modelling, outcrop analysis and subsurface dataBoersma, Q.D. (author)Responsibly using the subsurface for geo-energy extraction or storage requires an accurate understanding of the static and dynamic behaviour of the targeted reservoirs. While mostly dependent on intrinsic rock properties (e.g. porosity and permeability), this behaviour is also believed to be significantly impacted by the presence of natural...doctoral thesis 2020
