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 ...
Análisis hidráulico y modelización de geoceldas de drenaje subsuperficial en pavimentos permeables
(2019)
Los pavimentos permeables son una de las soluciones por las que se puede optar para gestionar la escorrentía en entornos urbanos, tanto en cantidad como en calidad. Los tipos de pavimento permeable son múltiples, pero todos ...
Hydraulic Performance Of Permeable Asphalt And Picp In Swmm, Validated By Laboratory Data
(WitPress, 2019)
Traditional urban development practices disrupt the natural water cycle, increasing surface runoff
volume/velocity and reducing water quality, amongst other impacts. Those negative impacts can be
reduced adopting sustainable ...
Modelling impervious pavements with the Low Impact Development module of the Storm Water Management Model
(Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN), 2021-02-12)
During the last few decades, resolution for hydrologic models has increased considerably. In addition, the
growing development of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) has led to the implementation of new
parameters ...
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 ...
Power Control Optimization of an Underwater Piezoelectric Energy Harvester
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Over the past few years, it has been established that vibration energy harvesters with intentionally designed components can be used for frequency bandwidth enhancement under excitation for sufficiently high vibration ...
