Tension-Leg Platform for Offshore Diffusor-AugmentedHydrokinetic Turbine
Harnessing marine energy offers significant potential for advancing clean and sustainable power generation. This thesis focuses on the design and optimization of a diffuser-augmented hydrokinetic turbine, supported by a tension-leg platform, to harness ocean and tidal currents for renewable energy …

Directional Airflow for HVAC Systems
… systems are usually equipped with stationary diffusors that can only supply the air either in the form of diffusion or with fixed direction to the room in which they have been installed. In the present thesis, the possibility of adopting directional airflow in lieu of the conventional uniform …

Acoustics as an Inspiration in Architecture
… air as an escape path for sound, and earth as diffusor/absorber/reflector. This exploration of work dives into how acoustics can inspire architecture from the start. The thesis used two design projects to test the ideas: The San Francisco House of Music and The Boston Elemental Theater. Through …

Design and calibration of a high temperature continuous run electric arc wind tunnel
… stagnation chamber, nozzle section, test and diffusor sections. In the arc chamber, the air passes through the positive column of an electric arc there-by raising its stagnation temperature before entering the stagnation chamber. Also included in the design and construction were water cooling …

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators in Electro-Responsive Surfaces Based on Tunable Wrinkling and the Robotic Arm for Powerful and Continuous Movement
… static surface patterns, and multi-stable mirror-diffusor-diffraction grating device. For DEAs used for macroscopic-scale deformation in robotic arms, the main issue that undermines the performance of DEA muscles is the trade-off between strong force and large displacement, which limits the …

Erschließung der automatischen Strömungsoptimierung zur Lösung von Gestaltungsaufgaben im Wasserbau
Today, numerical flow models are widely used tools in hydraulic engineering, as for the design of turbine intakes. In this field, problems are often closely linked to the question of an optimal solution depending on various influences. With the connection of an optimization algorithm and a flow …
