A Leaf-Resolved CFD Model for Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in Plant Canopies You are invited to join the PhD Defense of: Name : Wito Plas Title : A Leaf-Resolved CFD Model for Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in Plant Canopies Topic : In this study, a new, more detailed model is proposed to simulate airflow, temperature, and humidity around plants in a controlled environment. Currently, plants are usually approached as “porous zones”: simplified blocks of plant material that

Behaviour and Filtering of Supraharmonics Generated by Grid Connected Converters in Low Voltage Grids You are invited to join the PhD Defense of: Name : Abdellatif Aboutaleb Title : Behaviour and Filtering of Supraharmonics Generated by Grid Connected Converters in Low Voltage Grids Topic : Power-electronic grid-connected converters are essential building blocks of modern low-voltage power systems, but they also generate high-frequency distortions known as supraharmonic emiss

AWEsim: A Geometry-Resolved Aero-Servo-Elastic Framework for Airborne Wind Energy Simulations Your are invited to join the PhD Defense of: Name : Niels Pynaert Title : AWEsim: A Geometry-Resolved Aero-Servo-Elastic Framework for Airborne Wind Energy Simulations Topic : Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) is a renewable energy technology that converts wind power using autonomously controlled aircraft. These aircraft fly on a tether in circular patterns perpendicular to the wind. Becaus
