Mueller, Brianna (author)Understanding solute and heat transport processes in aquifers is crucial for monitoring and protecting the groundwater critical zone. Crosshole ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a useful method for enhancing transport characterization in aquifers. Particularly, GPR full-waveform inversion (FWI) can provide subsurface images with resolution at...master thesis 2023

(author)Particle tracers are sometimes used to track sources and sinks of riverine particulate and contaminant transport. A potentially new particle tracer is ~200 nm sized superparamagnetic silica encapsulated DNA (SiDNAFe). The main objective of this research was to understand and quantify the settling and aggregation behaviour of SiDNAFe in river...journal article 2023

Seol, Hyeonji (author), Arztmann, Daniel (author), Kim, Naree (author), Balderrama, A. (author)Natural ventilation in a building is an effective way to achieve acceptable indoor air quality. Ventilation dilutes contaminants such as bioeffluents generated by occupants, substances emitted from building materials, and the water vapor generated by occupants’ activities. In a building that requires heating and cooling, adequate ventilation is...journal article 2023

Hu, Jie (author), Liu, Zhengxuan (author), Ma, Guochuan (author), Zhang, Guoqiang (author), Ai, Zhengtao (author)Past studies reveal that air infiltration through the building envelope and its impact on the indoor environment and energy consumption are significantly influenced by climate characteristics. However, little relevant information is available for buildings in southern China, where the building design traditionally follows a philosophy of...journal article 2023

(author), Gessler, Arthur (author), Rothfuss, Youri (author), Sprenger, Matthias (author), Heidbüchel, Ingo (author)Tracing and quantifying water fluxes in the hydrological cycle is crucial for understanding the current state of ecohydrological systems and their vulnerability to environmental change. Especially the interface between ecosystems and the atmosphere that is strongly mediated by plants is important to meaningfully describe ecohydrological...journal article 2023

Kianfar, B. (author), Tian, Jingya (author), Rozemeijer, Joachim (author), van der Zaan, Bas (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author), Foppen, J.W.A. (author)In recent years, DNA-tagged silica colloids have been used as an environmental tracer. A major advantage of this technique is that the DNA-coding provides an unlimited number of unique tracers without a background concentration. However, little is known about the effects of physio-chemical subsurface properties on the transport behavior of...journal article 2022

(author), van der Velde, Ype (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Botter, Gianluca (author)Water transit time is now a standard measure in catchment hydrological and ecohydrological research. The last comprehensive review of transit time modeling approaches was published 15+ years ago. But since then the field has largely expanded with new data, theory and applications. Here, we review these new developments with focus on water-age...review 2022

Spekreijse, Pierrick (author)Colloidal particle swarms can show settling velocities over a thousand times as fast as that of a single particle. The transport of colloidal particles is thus strongly affected by the formation and behaviour of these particle swarms, which could have important implications for the widespread use and prevalence of colloidal particles. Swarming...master thesis 2021

Hemamalini, S.S. (author)Water electrolysis is a popular energy storage technique used in tandem with many renewable sources to convert the generated energy into storeable hydrogen. The efficiency of water electrolyzers is greatly affected by overpotential losses. Bubble evolution is a unique characteristic of flows in water electrolysis. The evolution of bubbles alter...master thesis 2021

Coastal Aeolian Sediment Transport in an Active Bed Surface Layer: Tracer Study and Conceptual ModelUphues, Charlotte (author)Coastal aeolian sediment transport is influenced by supply-limiting factors such as sediment sorting by grain size. Sorting processes can cause a coarsening of the bed surface and influence the formation of aeolian ripples. However, it is not fully understood what influence sorting processes have on the magnitude of this transport. In this study...master thesis 2021

van Rhijn, Fay (author)Surface water tracing experiments help to identify the flow paths of in-stream mass transport. This provides useful information for developing mitigation measures for contamination, and thereby for solving environmental problems. Salts, fluorescent dyes and isotopes are commonly used tracer substances.<br/>However, it is well known these tracers...master thesis 2021

van de Voort, Nick (author)The production of water masses formed by convection in the Labrador Sea (i.e. Labrador Sea Water, LSW) and its variability contributes to the variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Several studies put the role of the Labrador Sea under renewed debate, and suggest a rather complex interplay between the production...student report 2021

Engler Faleiros, D. (author)Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) relies upon the introduction of particle tracers that scatter sufficient light and follow the flow accurately. The use of submillimetre helium-filled soap bubbles (HFSB) as flow tracers for PIV is investigated for the purpose of enabling velocity measurements in large-scale industrial wind tunnels. That soap...doctoral thesis 2021

des Tombe, B.F. (author)The pressure on groundwater systems, especially in coastal regions, increases as the population rapidly grows. In these regions, management of water tables and fluxes is important to minimize droughts, salt-water intrusion, and flooding. Proper management of such groundwater systems requires knowledge of how groundwater responds to water...doctoral thesis 2021
