Optimisation of turbine-induced damping for an OWC wave energy converter using a RANS–VOF numerical model

TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D numerical model based on the RANS equations and the VOF surface capturing scheme (RANS-VOF) is implemented in order to study the optimum turbine-chamber coupling for a given oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical and experimental analysis of different ventilation systems in deep mines

TL;DR: In this article, a study on ventilation systems working in the cul-de-sac of a coal mine is presented, where three different types of ventilation systems have been numerically examined: blowing, exhaust and mixed ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a Novel Risk Prediction Model for Sudden Cardiac Death in Childhood Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM Risk-Kids)

TL;DR: This new, validated risk stratification model for SCD in childhood HCM may provide individualized estimates of risk at 5 years using readily obtained clinical risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of OWC wave energy converters: influence of turbine damping and tidal variability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the different factors affecting the performance of an OWC chamber and carry out a comprehensive campaign of physical model tests (387 in total), concluding that turbine damping is the main factor, taking precedence over the wave conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimization of a hospital room by means of CFD for more efficient ventilation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the ventilation airflow pattern in a two-bedded hospital room, where the whole space of the room is divided in modules by means of curtains and internal partition walls.
