Hart, Robin (author)This thesis project is part of a larger research project at the LUMC and focuses on overcoming challenges in studying blood vessel mechanics, particularly disturbed flow conditions, using Gelatin Methacryloyl (GelMA). Traditional models fail to replicate the complexity of blood vessels. GelMA stands out for its adjustable mechanical properties,...master thesis 2024

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

Thillaigovindarasu, Raghavi (author)Mangrove forests are important wetland ecosystems that inhabit intertidal zones within tropical and sub-tropical latitudes. They offer a diverse array of ecosystem services, including coastal protection and carbon sequestration. Despite their significance, global mangrove cover has declined in recent decades, prompting various restoration...master 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

Francken, Felix (author), van Batenburg, Tobias (author), Langeveld, Bram (author), Jhinkoe-Rai, Suryand (author), Rahan, Tyra (author)The coastal area of the Murcia region in Spain experiences more frequent and more intense flash floods caused by inland heavy rainfall due to climate change. This results in high water levels in towns and cities, leading to risk of loss of life and many financial damages. Currently the region is vulnerable, because there are no hydraulic...student report 2022

Borren, Marc (author)While the awareness of global warming rises, transport over sea remains a large contributor to green house gas emissions. New regulations imposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) aim to reduce the emission of green house gasses. Consequently, ship owners turn to technological solutions in order to achieve this. The Ventifoil from...master thesis 2022

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
