Abstract: Tidal asymmetry, generated by nonlinear shallow water processes, controls to a large extent the long-term fate of noncohesive sediments in estuaries and lagoons. Since the accurate reproduction of this asymmetry is still ...

Abstract: The stabilization of tidal inlets by jetties interrupts the littoral drift and has negative visual impacts. This paper proposes an innovative solution to improve the stability of a tidal inlet (the Óbidos Lagoon, Portugal) ...

Abstract: An accurate two-dimensional methodology, the COIN Lambda Fast Solver, for the computation of the flow field about a vertical axis wind turbine is presented. Such a technique determines the ...

Abstract: An innovative electronic system for testing the performance of wind turbines is presented. The main goal of the system is to increase the accuracy in the measurements of torque and speed for ...

Abstract: A method for predicting the onset of acoustically driven combustion instabilities in gas turbine combustor is examined. The basic idea is that the governing equations of the acoustic waves can ...

Abstract: A high-fidelity real-time simulation code based on a lumped, nonlinear representation of gas turbine components is presented. The code is a general-purpose simulation software environment useful ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the generation of flow mass errors in finite-element shallow water models and the effect of these errors in the mass conservation of Eulerian-Lagrangian transport simulations. Flow mass errors are ...
