Commandeur, Richard (author)The Flemish government is in pursuit of reaching their mobility and environment goals for 2040 and onwards. Therefore, the Flemish government sees building pipeline infrastructure as an option for transport of liquid bulk goods in the Antwerp – Ruhr trajectory. Pipeline transport is considered as an environmental friendly transport mode, which...master thesis 2023

Faucon, L.E.K. (author), Boot, T. (author), Riemslag, A.C. (author), Scott, S.P. (author), Liu, Ping (author), Popovich, V. (author)In this work, the hydrogen fatigue of pipeline steel X60, its girth welds and weld defects were investigated through in situ fatigue testing. A novel in situ gaseous hydrogen charging fatigue set-up was developed, which involves a sample geometry that mimics a small-scale pipeline with high internal hydrogen gas pressure. The effect of hydrogen...journal article 2023

Li, Xinhong (author), Ma, Jie (author), Han, Ziyue (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Yang, M. (author)This paper presents a game theory methodology for risk management of urban natural gas pipelines, which is a collaborative participation mechanism of the stakeholders, including government, pipeline companies, and the public. Firstly, the involvement proportion of stakeholders in risk management under rational conditions is estimated by the...journal article 2023

Stelling, Lennart (author)Offshore pipelines are considered the arteries of the offshore oil and gas industry and transport hydrocarbon products as well as other fluids. During the installation process of an offshore pipeline, the pipeline is most often located in a trench and covered with backfill material. The burial of the pipeline ensures onbottom stability as well...master thesis 2022

Faucon, Lorenzo (author)Hydrogen as an alternative energy source has risen in popularity due to increased environmental awareness. Existing natural gas infrastructure is considered as a means to transport hydrogen, due to practicality and financial aspects. However, hydrogen can deteriorate the fatigue behaviour and thus induce premature failure. Since fatigue is a...master thesis 2022

Gajadin, Esmée (author)The Port of Rotterdam is developing a hydrogen and CO2 pipeline bundle for industry in NRW. By applying a Multi-Criteria Analysis to this case, a model is created that evaluates this pipeline bundle against the criteria of the industry in North Rhine-Westphalia. The system analysis is used as the basis for the model, industry objectives are used...master 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

Klaassens, Vincent (author)Due to the energy transition, an increasing number of oil pipelines will be decommissioned in the foreseeable future. As a part of the decommissioning process, the oil needs to be flushed from the pipelines. Some models to predict the required water velocity to flush oil from pipelines are available, but these are limited in accuracy, and data...master thesis 2022

Pisano, F. (author), Betto, D. (author), Della Vecchia, G. (author), Cremonesi, M. (author)Submarine buried pipelines are often laid in trenches backfilled with loose sandy soil, which is intrinsically prone to liquefaction. When liquefaction is triggered, the soil tends to behave as a viscous fluid with vanishing shear strength and very limited ability to restrain structural displacement, for instance during the occurrence of...journal article 2022

Cai, Jie (author), Jiang, X. (author), Yang, Yazhou (author), Lodewijks, Gabriel (author), Wang, Minchang (author)A corrosion defect is recognized as one of the most severe phenomena for high-pressure pipelines, especially those served for a long time. Finite-element method and empirical formulas are thereby used for the strength prediction of such pipes with corrosion. However, it is time-consuming for finite-element method and there is a limited...journal article 2022
