Pile tip deformation caused by obstacles

Monopiles will be installed in more difficult terrain since space in the 'ideal' locations is reduced by the rapidly increasing development of wind farms in the ideal areas. In difficult terrain, the amount of obstacles or hard layers increase, leading to an increased risk of pile tip damage. Also the ever increasing D/t ratio of the pile leads...

A new generation in the evolution of wakeboarding: The design of a feature within the vision to enrich the experience of Entertainment Enjoyers

Although wakeboarding is increasing in popularity and number of participants, the market of wakeboard features only fulfils the needs of a part of its potential customers. A gap has been determined in the expertise development of riders. Therefore, the focus of this project is on riders that have enough skills to complete a full round on a cable...

Using an Agent-Based Formalism to Simulate Passenger Flows

In this report two Agent-Based Models, the Passenger Model and the Transfer Model, will be constructed and analyzed. The objective is to make a realistic model inspired by a cell-based model to simulate passenger flows on a train platform. We will start by studying the cell-based model and we will explain which aspects have been applied to our...

The influence of an obstacle on flow and pollutant dispersion in neutral and stable boundary layers

Predicting pollutant dispersion in urban environments requires accurate treatment of obstacle geometry, inflow turbulence and temperature differences. This paper considers both the influence of thermal stratification and the presence of a single obstacle on pollutant dispersion in turbulent boundary layers (TBLs). Turbulent flow over a fence...
