TIAN, YONGDING (author)Transferring composite data structures with variable-length fields often requires designing non-trivial protocols that are not compatible between hardware designs. When each project designs its own data format and protocols the ability to collaborate between hardware developers is diminished, which is an issue especially in the open-source...master thesis 2022

van Strien, Charlotte (author)Managing water resources for the future is challenging, given the wide range of climatic and hydrological uncertainty. To support decision makers in formulating robust adaptation plans and finding their way through the broad range of available climate data and models, decision scaling was introduced: an approach for bottom-up climate...master thesis 2022

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

Karnaszewska, Adrianna (author)Urban foodscapes project addresses issues concerning the food supply chain in London. It aims to combat problems created by current agri-business practice such as long, complex logistical chains, food waste, carbon emissions, wasted water, energy, labour and land scarcity. Foodscape, being both global and local, lies on the intersection of...master thesis 2022

Daugulis, Edgars (author)An accurate estimation of gas turbine nozzle guide vane metal temperature locally on its surface is crucial for predicting vane lifetime. The stagnation region at the vane leading edge is, typically, exposed to the highest thermal load, thus, the showerhead configuration of film cooling is often applied on the leading edge. Widely used lean-...master thesis 2022

Yin, Weiming (author)As a major transit city on the Mediterranean, Marseille’s urban history and landscape are largely defined by the continuous flows of matter and energy over time. Amongst these interwoven flows, the waste flow is one of the striking focal points. This is not only because the city of Marseille has historically struggled to escape its "dirty"...master thesis 2022

Sağtürk, Can (author)The multi-level bin packing problem (MLBP) and its variant problem with partial orders (MLBPPO) are NP-Hard problems that can be applied in a logistical setting to improve efficiency in packing. However, despite their possible use cases, there is little to no literature on how to solve these problems in a reasonable amount of time. In this work,...bachelor thesis 2022

van den Bergh, Aydin (author)To reduce emissions from civil aviation, research is being conducted in lean premixed hydrogen combustors as part of the APPU project at the TU Delft. Next to mitigating CO2 emissions completely, these technologies have the potential to also reduce NOx emissions greatly, allowing for the future of civil aviation to become sustainable. However,...master thesis 2022

Hwang, Sun Ah (author)To every rise and fall of nations, crowds were vital. They could appear in the form of armies defending their motherlands or revolutionaries rewriting the courses of history, but they are also vital to political baiting beloved by every ‘big guy’. Crowds also bring in life to the masses; it is the various social spectacles that we (occasionally)...master thesis 2022

van der Gugten, Loek (author)Refactorings are program transformations that preserve the observable behavior of the program. The refactoring function inlining replaces a function call with the contents of the referenced function definition. To preserve the behavior, properties such as reference relations must be retained and language constructs like 'return' statements must...master thesis 2022

Bobe, Alexandru (author)Scheduling is required in almost every industry and when done well it can bring a lot of revenue. Flexibility is often forgotten when creating the initial schedules. Therefore, in case of an unexpected delay, the whole schedule has to suffer. In this paper, we consider a re-entrant flow shop with sequence-dependent setup times and relative due...bachelor thesis 2022

van Melis, Kris (author)To reduce food waste, it is important to know what strawberries to prioritise for harvesting. Size is an important quality attribute for strawberry. In order to know the size, the depth of the strawberry in the image must been known. To estimate the depth, stereovision gets utilized using binocular images. Since classic stereovision methods are...bachelor thesis 2022

Florea, Vlad (author)Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new paradigm that allows for greater reliability and more efficient management compared to traditional networks. However, SDN security is a developing field, and research towards fixing significant security vulnerabilities is still ongoing. One major threat to SDN security are attacks that seek to exploit...bachelor thesis 2022

Jansen, Aron (author)In the agricultural sector farming methods and upscaling of farmland are problematic for biodiversity and survival of farm businesses. Not all farmers can compete on the large scale, so the farmer has to find other ways of adding value to their product or business. One of the methods that will be used for that is the Material Flow Analysis to...master thesis 2022

Buitelaar, Maarten (author)A dam-break wave can result in considerable damages and casualties. Events that can lead to such waves include dike and dam breaches, storm surges and impulse waves. Dutch history is familiar with a number of coastal dike breaches but also river dike breaches have occurred, resulting in dam-break waves reaching far inland. Beyond the Netherlands...master thesis 2022

Siebols, Renko (author)An experimental study is presented towards inner-scaled Helmholtz-Resonators (HRs) as a passive turbulent boundary layer (TBL) flow control method. Using acoustic pressure-velocity coupling at the orifice of the HR, it is aimed to attenuate the kinetic energy of the grazing turbulence to reduce the mean skin friction. The HRs are tuned towards...master thesis 2022

de Gruijl, Wouter (author)To make propellers more viable as a greener alternative to jet engines, the issue of propeller noise needs to be addressed. Previous propeller design optimization studies rarely take into account the effects on aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance due to non-uniform inflow, the type of flow the propeller would experience if it was installed...master thesis 2022

Barahona Lopez, Marina (author)Current manufacturing techniques in the aviation industry result in a number of two-dimensional surface irregularities (e.g. panel joints, seals, seams) which can lead to an increase in skin friction due to premature boundary layer transition. Panel joints are...master thesis 2022

Kislaya, A. (author)The precise manipulation of particles and droplets is crucial to many microfluidic applications in engineering. The design of microfluidic devices is generally tailored to perform a specific task, with each specific application requiring a unique and fixed design. In this way, using a single device to perform multiple analyses of a wide range of...doctoral thesis 2022

Quattrucci, Giacomo (author)The optimization of heat transfer in turbulent upward pipe flows is a very common problem in engineering, due to the wide range of applications. However, this set-up is usually categorised as mixed convection flow, which means that gravity plays an important role. Sometimes, it might lead to heat transfer deterioration. This research will...master thesis 2022
