The Influence of Surface Temperature on Coanda Effect
Abstract Coanda effect is the adhesion of fluid on a convex surface. This paper presents the effect of temperature on the Coanda flow and shows how the temperature of the surface can influence the flow behaviour. It has been found that there are two ...

Parallelization of Linear Iterative Methods for Solving the 3-D Pressure Poisson Equation Using Various Programming Languages
Abstract In this paper we explored parallelization of PPE (pressure Poisson equation) solvers with the aim of decreasing total arithmetic and run-time expenditure in incompressible CFD. For the current work, Jacobi and successive overrelaxation...

Development of a Combined Hot Water and Sorption Store for Solar Thermal Systems
Abstract The motivation for the development of a combined hot water and sorption store is to complement the advantages and to reduce the disadvantages of the two particular storage technologies. Hot water stores offer high heat supply rates but are...

Dynamics in Urban Development, Population Growth and their Influences on Urban Water Infrastructure
Abstract For a comprehensive adaptation of urban water infrastructure to constantly changing and evolving systems a detailed simulation of the dynamics in city development is crucial. Several scenarios are developed within model boundaries to take a ...

Assessment of Thermal Stress in a Street Canyon in Pedestrian Area with or without Canopy Shading
Abstract Urban areas are characterized by a plurality of microclimates given by the diversity of morphologies, optical and radiative properties, solar access and air circulation in different street canyons. For these reasons, beyond strategies at...

Experimental Investigations of Caprock Integrity in CO2 Sequestration
Abstract The geochemical reactivity of shale caprock during post-injection CO2 diffusive transfer should be included in the reservoir characterization of CO2 sequestration sites as slow reactive transport processes can either improve or degrade seal ...

Natural Mitigation of CO2 Leakage Accumulations
Abstract This study aims at investigating the role played by the overlying aquifer formation as a safety barrier in case of CO2 leakage accumulation (i.e. CO2 accumulated in an overlying aquifer after its leakage from the CO2 storage reservoir) by...

The first report on the establishment and spread of the alien clam Rangia cuneata (Mactridae) in the Polish part of the Vistula Lagoon (southern Baltic)
Summary Information on distribution of the bivalve Rangia cuneata in the Polish part of the Vistula Lagoon is presented. The species, first recorded in the Lagoon in 2010, has since rapidly colonized almost the entire basin. The distribution and...

A New Approach ACO for Solving the Compromise Economic and Emission with the Wind Energy
Abstract Environmental legislation, with its increasing pressure on the energy sector to control greenhouse gases, is a driving force to reduce CO2 emissions, forced the power system operators to consider the emission problem as a consequential...

Optimal phasing of the European tidal stream resource using the greedy algorithm with penalty function
Abstract The regular periodicity of astronomical tides allows their accurate prediction, and so it should be possible to determine how best to optimise the future distribution of arrays of tidal energy devices for any shelf sea region. By...
