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 slow down airflow...

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 emissions in the range...

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. Because they can...
