Ramanna, Austin (author)This thesis aims to automatically and reliably detect large-scale structures in turbulent flows. To achieve this, a U-net (a type of neural network) is trained using artificially generated data. From the network output, continuous structures are derived and general statistics, including, volume fraction, relative kinetic energy and length scales...master thesis 2023

Basting, Mark (author)In real-life scenarios, there are many variations in sizes of objects of the same category and the objects are not always placed at a fixed distance from the camera. This results in objects taking up an arbitrary size of pixels in the image. Vanilla CNNs are by design only translation equivariant and thus have to learn separate filters for...master thesis 2023

van der Waals, Max (author)The importance of aerodynamic efficiency in the cycling sport is well known. Simple calculations demonstrate the considerable impact of just a few percentages in drag savings on the outcome of a competition where the margins can be incredibly small. Achieving a drag reduction can, however, be challenging as the flow topology of a cyclist is...master thesis 2023
