PhD Defense : Modélisation des forces hydrodynamiques sur les bâtiments en zone urbaine by Charles RYCKMANS (GCE)26 AugL'augmentation de la fréquence et de l'intensité des inondations mondiales, accentuée par le changement climatique et l'expansion urbaine, rend cruciale l'évaluation des dommages structurels. Cependant, les forces hydrodynamiques exercées par l'eau en mouvement sur les bâtiments restent complexes à anticiper.Show more

PhD Defence: Large Eddy Simulations of controlled Airborne Wind Energy Systems flying in turbulent flows by Jean-Baptiste CRISMER (TFL)27 AugWind energy is expected to play a central role in the energy transition to carbon-neutral energy system, with installed capacity projected to increase substantially in the coming decades. To this end, the size of horizontal-axis wind turbines is continuously increasing, which raises structural challenges and requires increasing material resources.Show more
