Helicopter deck hot gas plume and air quality: AEGIR - ,

To ensure safe helicopter operations offshore helicopter deck certifiction (CAP 437, NORSOK C-004) requires an assessment of temperature rise due to hot exhaust gas plumes in the airspace above the helideck. The plume trajectory can be visualised in a smoke visualisation test in the wind tunnel. The temperature rise can be directly measured in a buoyant plume tracer gas experiment on a scale model in the wind tunnel.

Staatsoper Berlin - Berlin, Germany

The Berlin Staatsoper Unter den Linden is renovated in the period from 2010 to 2014. The project consists out of the renovation of the Opera building from 1742, renovation of the adjacent office building and a new rehearsal center behind the façades of the old storage building. Goals of the renovation of the 1955 Opera Hall are to restore the monumental character of the hall and at the same time introduce a major improvement of the halls acoustic.

Heerema Sleipnir semi-submersible crane vessel - ,

Heerema's Sleipnir is designed for worldwide offshore heavy lifting. It will be equipped with two cranes of 10,000 metric tonnes lifting capacity each and a deck area of 220 x 102 meters, which will make it the largest crane vessel in the world. The Sleipnir is self-propelled by means of dual fuel engines – MGO & LNG. Peutz has conducted a CFD assessment of the effects of a LNG release from over pressure blow off and LNG bunker spill scenario's.

Heineken Music Hall - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Heineken Music Hall was built for the single purpose of hosting pop concerts of the highest acoustic quality. It is built as a black box; basically a work area where a stage and associated decor are put in place according to the requirements of each event.

Frigstad D90 semi-submersible drilling unit - ,

The Frigstad D90 is a semi-submersible drilling unit design for ultra deepwater exploration & development. Peutz has conducted wind tunnel tests to determine the wind and current loads for stability assessment and DP. In addition a full test matrix of helicopter deck turbulence measurements has been conducted according to the CAP 437 requirements. The tests have been conducted at the wind tunnel facility of Peutz.

Wind Load JIP FPSO - ,

The Wind Load JIP aimes at setting new standards for wind tunnel measurements of wind loads and CFD calculations for the maritime and offshore industry. Peutz has conducted wind tunnel measurements of wind loads on a model of a FPSO and a semi-submersible production unit. The effects of changes in roughness of the boundary layer, variation of configurations as well as sensitivity to different types of set-up have been investigated.

Wind tunnel model: Forum Trabzon - Trabzon, Turkey

The famous Sumela Monastery, numerous sites of historic interest and its unspoiled beauty make Trabzon one of the most interesting tourist destinations in Turkey. With wind tunnel testing we assessed the possible wind climates inside the shopping centre, at the entrances, on the rooftop terraces (restaurants) and in the car park.

Concertgebouw Amsterdam - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The Grote Zaal (Main Hall) of the Concertgebouw went through major renovations between 1985 and 2002, in respect of which eventually all wall and ceiling surfaces as well as the chairs and stage were renewed. The Kleine Zaal (Recital Hall) underwent complete refurbishment in 2004. As in the Grote Zaal, the acoustic quality was preserved by taking every last detail into account.

Louvre Museum - Paris, France

The Louvre museum in Paris has fitted out a new museum area specifically devoted to Islamic arts. This new department of the museum is located in the Visconti court, which was excavated by more than 12 m and covered by a golden glazed undulating canopy that reminds of dunes. This space features two levels with a total floor area of 2800 m².

World Port Center - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Standing alongside the distinctive Hotel New York on Rotterdam’s Wilhelmina Pier is the World Port Center. The office building’s principal occupant is the Port of Rotterdam Authority. The top floors of the 32-storey building are devoted to large conference rooms that provide a fantastic view over the port.

Wind loads for DP and stability: Drillship - ,

Measurements of the wind loads have been conducted on a scale model of an Ulstein designed drillship. Through wind tunnel measurements of the wind load coefficients the highest accuracy is achieved in calculation of required thrust capacities, DP capability and DP definition and optimisation.

Forum Bornova - Izmir, Turkey

Forum Bornova was the first shopping and lifestyle centre developed by Multi Turkmall in Turkey. It consists of two boulevards, two squares and four streets. There are wooden canopies, small ponds, bridges, a tower, a lot of mosaic, wooden pergolas, palm trees, fountains, roof gardens with restaurants and bars. Wind speeds at the site of the shopping centre are high by Turkish standards.
