SZFitter: Predicting DESHIMA 2.0 observations of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect

Galaxy clusters are some of the largest known structures in the universe. Studying them observationally and theoretically can provide a lot of information on how these clusters form and are structured. One way to study them is through the so-called Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect, which is an interaction between the cosmic...

A Spatial Markov Chain Cellular Automata Model for the Spread of the COVID-19 virus: Including parameter estimation

In this bachelor thesis we propose a spatial Markov Chain Cellular Automata<br/>model for the spread of the COVID-19 virus as well as two methods for parameter<br/>estimation. Network topologies are used to model the progression of the epidemic<br/>by considering each individual on a grid and using stochastic principles to determine the...

Numerical Simulation of Radial Non-Newtonian Foam Flow in a Reservoir

Non-Newtonian foam flow in a reservoir can be modeled numerically by discretization of the corresponding analytical formulas. The injection of foam is compared to the injection of water by comparing the injection pressures, which is represented as a dimensionless pressure rise at the injection well. The model first applies the forward-difference...
