Numerical modelling evaluation for the microclimate of an outdoor urban form in Cairo, Egypt
Abstract In order to achieve outdoor thermal comfort it is necessary to understand the interactions between the prevailing climate, the urban form and roughness. The near surface boundary layer is directly influenced by local irradiative and...

Methodologies for representing the road transport sector in energy system models
Abstract Energy system models are often used to assess the potential role of hydrogen and electric powertrains for reducing transport CO2 emissions in the future. In this paper, we review how different energy system models have represented both...

Geothermal Energy Production at Geologic CO2 Sequestration sites: Impact of Thermal Drawdown on Reservoir Pressure
Abstract Recent geotechnical research shows that geothermal heat can be efficiently mined by circulating carbon dioxide through naturally permeable rock formations -- a method called CO2 Plume Geothermal -- the same geologic reservoirs that are...

Earthquake Risks of the Dams in Peri Stream Basin
Abstract There are a lot of active faults in Turkey. These faults produced many earthquakes with different magnitudes during instrumental and historical period. They caused loss of life and property. On the other hand many dam were built near...
