    Open Access
    Iber is a two-dimensional hydraulic model for the simulation of free surface flow in rivers and estuaries, and the simulation of environmental processes in fluvial hydraulics. Since the release of the first version of Iber, ...

  • A systematic review on MIVES: a sustainability-oriented multi-criteria decision-making method 

    Boix Cots, David; Pardo Bosch, Francesc; Blanco Álvarez, Ana; Aguado de Cea, Antonio; Pujadas Álvarez, Pablo (Elsevier, 2022-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Sustainability has practically become a mandatory concept to be considered in every decision, and multiple decision-making methods have been adapted to take it into account. Among them, sustainability centred methods are ...

  • On the use of ensemble averaging techniques to accelerate the Uncertainty Quantification of CFD predictions in wind engineering 

    Tosi, Riccardo; Núñez Corbacho, Marc; Pons Prats, Jordi; Principe, Ricardo Javier; Rossi, Riccardo (2022-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    In this work we focus on reducing the wall clock time required to compute statistical estimators of highly chaotic incompressible flows on high performance computing systems. Our approach consists of replacing a single ...

  • A machine learning-based surrogate model for the identification of risk zones due to off-stream reservoir failure
