The Influence of the Chamber Configuration on the Hydrodynamic Efficiency of Oscillating Water Column Devices
(MDPI, 2020-09-26)
Based on the two-dimensional linear wave theory, the effects of the front wall thickness and the bottom profile of an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device on its efficiency were analyzed. Using the potential flow approach, ...
Catalyst Deactivation And Regeneration Processes In Biogas Tri-Reforming Process. The Effect Of Hydrogen Sulfide Addition
(MDPI AG, 2018-01-09)
This work studies Ni-based catalyst deactivation and regeneration processes in the presence of H2S under a biogas tri-reforming process for hydrogen production, which is an energy vector of great interest. 25 ppm of hydrogen ...

Downscaling of surface moisture flux and precipitation in the Ebro Valley (Spain) using analogues and analogues followed by random forests and multiple linear regression
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2011)
In this paper, reanalysis fields from the ECMWF have been statistically downscaled to predict from large-scale atmospheric fields, surface moisture flux and daily precipitation at two observatories (Zaragoza and Tortosa, ...
Historical Evolution of theWave Resource and Energy Production off the Chilean Coast over the 20th Century
(MDPI, 2018-09)
The wave energy resource in the Chilean coast shows particularly profitable characteristics for wave energy production, with relatively high mean wave power and low inter-annual resource variability. This combination is ...
Harmonized evaluation of daily precipitation downscaled using SDSM and WRF+WRFDA models over the Iberian Peninsula
(Springer, 2019-08)
There have been numerous statistical and dynamical downscaling model comparisons. However, differences in model skill can be distorted by inconsistencies in experimental set-up, inputs and output format. This paper harmonizes ...
MIDAS: A Benchmarking Multi-Criteria Method for the Identification of Defective Anemometers in Wind Farms
(MDPI, 2018-12-22)
A novel multi-criteria methodology for the identification of defective anemometers is shown in this paper with a benchmarking approach: it is called MIDAS: multi-technique identification of defective anemometers. The ...
Accuracy of the Cell-Set Model on a Single Vane-Type Vortex Generator in Negligible Streamwise Pressure Gradient Flow with RANS and LES
(MDPI, 2020-12-02)
Passive flow control devices are included in the design of wind turbine blades in order to obtain better performance and reduce loads without consuming any external energy. Vortex Generators are one of the most popular ...
Experimental and Numerical Modeling of Aerosol Delivery for Preterm Infants
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) represents one of the major causes of mortality among preterm infants, and the best approach to treat it is an open research issue. The use of perfluorocarbons (PFC) along with non-invasive ...
Five MegawattWind Turbine Power Output Improvements by Passive Flow Control Devices
(MDPI, 2017-06)
The effects of two types of flow control devices, vortex generators (VGs) and Gurney flaps (GFs), on the power output performance of a multi-megawatt horizontal axis wind turbine is presented. To that end, an improved blade ...
