Suurhoff, en het antwoord van de voorzitter van de TAW op deze rede, prof.ir. P.P. Jansen. De commissie werd ingesteld naar aanleiding van de overstromingen in Tuindorp-Oostzaan in 1960. De commissie is officieel ingesteld op 31 mei 1965, maar de installatierede is in Augustus van dat jaar uitgesprokenTAW/EN
Implicit large-eddy simulation of the stratocumulus-topped boundary layer: A grid sensitivity study
No full textA range of implicit large-eddy simulations of the stratocumulus-topped boundary layer is performed to study the influence of grid resolution on selected parameters including liquid water path and second and third moments of vertical velocity fluctuations. The simulations are based on two sets of aircraft measurements, which are also used to evaluate the results of the simulations. The specific case presented here indicates that simulations with a grid aspect ratio accounting for the anisotropic nature of the turbulence near the surface and at the top of the boundary layer lead to better agreement with measurements than simulations with an isotropic grid
Experimental application of a dynamic observer to capture and predict the dynamics of a flat-plate boundary layer
No full textThe recent approach, proposed by Guzman-Inigo et al. \cite{GuzmanInigo2014}, using System Identification to derive a Reduced Order Model from snapshots of a flow is applied to a transitional boundary layer growing over a flat-plate. It is shown that such an approach can indeed be applied to experimental PIV snapshots. Using a proper learning dataset and a proper local sensor, it is shown that the evolution of boundary layer can be properly estimated from the time evolution of the local probe and with no more than ten POD modes for the Reduced Order Model. The influence of the various parameters on the efficiency of the system identification technique is discussed

Semantic and Stylistic Potential of the Theonyms in the Strutsyuk`s J.G. Works about Kholmshchyna
No full textУ статті розглянуто функціонування теонімів у творах Й. Г. Струцюка про
долю холмщаків, виявлено їхні структурні, функціональні та семантичні особливості. Дослідження показало, що в художній спадщині волинського письменника вжито усталені найменування Бога, які в контексті набувають оригінальних конотацій. This article is dedicated to analysis the theonyms in the work of Volyn writer Strutsyuk J.G. This type of own names is distinguished by particularly expressiveness, as behind their referents appears complexes of philosophical and religious beliefs. In the investigation was examined the structural and semantical particularities of onyma God, and was found nominative, differential, localizing, emotional and allusive functions. The theonyms used in the work of J.G. Strutsyuk disclose the Christian worldview's fundamentals of the author and special by proper understanding of the religious experience of God. The results of the investigation showed that the style of this language units in the texts based on their traditional using in folk speech and confessional style
Hauntings – A nodalist study
No full textSince Deleuze and Guattari first described the concept of the rhizome as a model of cultural transmission in A Thousand Plateaus (1980), a new way of processing information in the Arts and Social Sciences has emerged – ‘Nodalism’. Philip Gochenour has convincingly argued that units of culture can now be thought of as ‘nodes’ existing in a nonhierarchical, web-like network. Information transfer between nodes in the network is horizontal, omni-directional and not necessarily teleological, a way of viewing the world which has been paralleled and actualized in the last twenty years by the emergence, growth and ubiquity of the internet and the World Wide Web.
The author – a developing audiovisual artist – here offers four videomusic pieces and one virtual sound-synthesis tool. At first glance, the pieces may appear to have little in common. However, the commentary will attempt to show that they are subtly linked together, immersed in a cocoon of rhizomatic, pluralistic, thread-like connections.
The strongest ‘thread’ holding them together appears to be the trope of being ‘haunted’ in some way – either by influence, genre, or overarching concept. However, this thesis will attempt to show how a detailed consideration of each piece results in a highly complex final picture in which the pieces can be thought of as individual cultural nodes suspended in a dense rhizomatic mass of lateral cultural threads. For the sake of completion, however, the project has received the name Hauntings in reference to one of the strongest shared tropes running throughout all five works
An ecocritical study of J.G. Ballard’s climate fiction novels
No full textBu çalışma, J.G. Ballard’ın 1960’ların başında yayımlamış olduğu iklim kurgu romanlarını çevreci eleştiri ekolü ışığında ele alan kapsamlı bir analizi içermektedir. J.G. Ballard’ın seçilmiş üç romanı — The Wind from Nowhere, The Drowned World ve The Drought çevreci eleştiri kuramından, özel olarak da sosyal ekoloji alt kuramından faydalanılarak incelenmiştir. Ballard’ın son dönem popüler eserlerinin gerçeküstücülük ve psikanaliz kuramlarındaki akademik araştırmaların çokluğuna rağmen bu çalışma, yazarın kıyamet sonrası iklim kurgu romanlarını çevreci eleştiri kuramı penceresinden ayrıntılı biçimde ele almayı hedeflemektedir. Ünlü İngiliz yazarın bu üç romanı, iklim kurgu alt türünün temel örnekleri arasında gösterilmektedir. Bu yüzden, çalışma Ballard’ın iklim kurgu roman üçlemesini çevreci eleştiri ekolü kapsamında, özellikle ikinci dalga çevreci eleştiri alt kuramı çerçevesinde incelemeyi önermektedir. Bu kapsamda araştırma Ballard’ın söz konusu eserlerini sosyal ekoloji perspektifinden eleştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Böylece çalışma, Ballard’ın ve pek çok eleştirmenin deneysel kurgu olarak adlandırdığı The Wind from Nowhere adlı romanında Batı insan merkezciliğinin nasıl alaşağı edildiğini açığa çıkarmaya odaklanmaktadır. Ayrıca, çalışma, Ballard’ın ikinci iklim kurgu romanı olan The Drowned World eserini sosyal ekofeminizm kuramı gözünden analiz etmektedir. Son olarak da Ballard’ın kuraklık temeline dayanan kıyamet senaryosu olan The Drought isimli romanının sosyal ekolojik bakış açısıyla irdelenmesi uygun görülmektedir. Pek çok araştırmacı ve kuramcıya göndermeler yapan bu çalışma temel olarak Murray Bookchin ve Karen J. Warren’ın kuramlarına dayanmaktadır. Çevreci eleştiri bağlamında farklı unsur ve meselelere değinen bu araştırma, J.G. Ballard’ın iklim kurgu roman üçlemesinin sosyal ekolojik motifler doğrultusunda ayrıntılı bir şekilde analiz edilmesi yönünde ısrarcı bir tutumu benimsemektedir.This study focuses on an ecocritical analysis of J.G. Ballard’s climate fiction novels of the early 1960s. Ecocritical perspectives, social ecological in specific have been utilized to shed light on the selected three novels of J.G. Ballard—The Wind from Nowhere, The Drowned World and The Drought. In contrast with the widespread scholarly research of surreal and psychoanalytic criticism in Ballard’s latter fiction, this study contemplates to analyse the author’s very first post-apocalyptic, climate fiction novels through the window of ecocritical theory. These three novels of the renowned British author are commonly considered as primary examples of the sub-genre of climate fiction. This study therefore proposes to analyse Ballard’s post-apocalyptic works of climate fiction by applying theories related to the school of ecocriticism, second wave of ecocriticism in particular. The study thereby aims to criticise Ballard’s oeuvre from the specific position of social ecology. Thus, the research reveals how Ballard dismantles and takes on western anthropocentrism in The Wind from Nowhere, the author’s first work of fiction, often dismissed by many including himself as an experimental work of fiction. Furthermore, the study also intends to criticise The Drowned World from a social ecofeminist viewpoint. Finally, it aspires to expose the social ecological motives behind The Drought, Ballard’s post-apocalyptic vision of a world running out of water. The study refers to a wide variety of scholars and theoreticians but mainly relies on the theories of Murray Bookchin and Karen J. Warren. Focusing on many different issues within ecocritical thought, the study insists on the scrutiny of social ecological motives in Ballard’s trilogy of climate fiction
