Decarbonization is one of the most pressing challenges facing the modern shipping industry. Wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP) offers a promising pathway by integrating wind technologies with conventional systems, but understanding the hydrodynamic behaviour of such vessels under realistic conditions is essential...
Downburst events generate extreme near-surface winds over a considerable area, posing significant threats to structures. The existing empirical models usually model the vertical and radial steady-state profiles of the downburst separately based on empirical equations. However, these models are difficult to consider the...
The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of flow contraction created by a duct on the power generation of a tidal turbine prototype. As a preliminary step in the development of a full-scale floating bridge-type ducted turbine, aimed at shallow near-shore locations subject to tidal currents with mo...
Pump-as-Turbine (PaT) systems represent a cost-effective solution for hydraulic energy recovery in existing water networks and industrial processes. However, the prediction of their performance in turbine mode remains challenging, especially under off-design conditions where unsteady flow structures and internal losses...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is one of the most widely used numerical methods for analyzing and optimizing the hydrodynamic performance of ships as early as the preliminary design stages. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations represent an effective tool for investigating complex flow phenomena occurring...
is driven by the need for efficient and reliable pump turbines for pumped storage power plants, which ensure the flexibility of the power system in theface of an increasing share of renewable energy sources. The model's geometry is based on high-pressure pumped storage power plant data. VistaCPD, BladeGen, and TurboGri...
