Simone De Kleermaeker received a M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics (2001) from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Since then she has been employed at Deltares | Delft Hydraulics.
She has performed many projects on surge analysis and optimal control of pipeline systems, and has conducted verification measurements of flow systems. She has also developed numerical code of pipe components in WANDA. Besides pipeline systems, Simone is also working on projects concerning the intake and outfalls of for example power & desalination plants. These projects comprise all hydraulic topics, from the positioning and design of the intake and outfall, the analysis of the pipeline system, up to a marine Environmental Impact Assessment.
Since 2003, Simone has shared the knowledge of Deltares through training courses on pressures surges, control systems, valves and pumps.
