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 ...
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 ...
Computational study of the vortex path variation with the VG height
(IOP Publishing, 2014)
An extensive range of conventional, vane-type, passive vortex generators (VGs) are in use for successful applications of flow separation control. In most cases, the VG height is designed with the same thickness as the local ...
Aerosol Delivery by Inhalation Catheter and Trachea Digitalization
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2018)
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is related with high mortality and morbidity in preterm infants and the best approach to treat it is an open research field. The use of perfluorocarbons (PFC) together with ...
5 MW Wind Turbine Annual Energy Production Improvement by Flow Control Devices
(MDPI, 2018-11-06)
Several flow control devices have been studied in recent years. Majority of them were designed firstly for aeronautical purposes. At present many research is aimed to introduce these devices in wind turbines (WTs) in order ...
Microtab design and implementation on a 5MW wind turbine
(MDPI, 2017-05-24)
Microtabs (MT) consist of a small tab placed on the airfoil surface close to the trailing edge and perpendicular to the surface. A study to find the optimal position to improve airfoil aerodynamic performance is presented. ...
Predictive Dynamic Window Approach Development with Artificial Neural Fuzzy Inference Improvement
(MDPI, 2019-08-26)
The aim of this paper is to improve the dynamic window approach algorithm for mobile robots by implementing a prediction window with a fuzzy inference system to adapt to fixed parameters, depending on the surrounding ...
