“Mighty Whale” is floating wave power device with air turbines which can absorb the wave energy efficiently and convert to electric power or compressed air. Such converted energy can be utilizes for the conservation of coastal environment. It will be moored by chains at the offing of the...

A coupled modeling system was implemented to characterize the wave conditions and assess the wave energy potential at Galway Bay using WAVEWATCH IIII (WWIII) for wave generation and deep water propagation and SWAN model for wave propagation in intermediate and shallow water. Wind fields were...

The Northern Adriatic coastland comprised between the cities of Monfalcone and Cattolica is characterised by locations of great tourist interest, such as the Venice Lagoon and the Romagna Riviera, and areas with a very precarious environmental setting, such as the Valli di Comacchio and the Po...

This study entails the implementation of an experimental real time forecast capability for tropical cyclones over the Bay of Bengal basin of North Indian Ocean. This work is being built on the experience gained from a number of recent studies using the concept of superensemble developed at the...

Much progress has been made in the area of tropical cyclone prediction using high-resolution mesoscale models based on community models developed at National Centers for Environmental Predication (NCEP) and National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). While most of these model research and...

In the twenty-first century, around 200 notable dam and reservoir failures happened worldwide causing massive fatalities and economic costs. In order to reduce the losses, managers usually define mitigation strategies identifying flooding area due to dam break by using standalone hydrodynamic...

Thermal energy storage (TES) has the capability to absorb, store and release heat based on dynamic surrounding environmental conditions. Sensible energy storage captures or releases heat with changes in material’s temperature while latent heat is associated with a phase change at an isotherm...

This paper describes the results of a modelling investigation into reducing salinity impacts within a drained lowland coastal aquifer through management of drain water levels, and specifically assesses whether targeted water level management changes deliver similar levels of salinity benefit to...

A thermal two-dimensional model has been built for an air-breathing proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell that has been reported in the literature. The objective of the study is to investigate the thermal situation over the cathode surface of the fuel cell. The Joule heating was found to be...
