    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Ports are essential contributors of a country’s economy. One of the significant environmental threats in ports is Climate Change due to carbon dioxide emissions generated by different activities in these areas. In the ...

  • Modeling and simulation of complex nonlinear dynamic processes using data based models: application to photo-Fenton process 

    Shokry Abdel-aleem, Ahmed; Audino, Francesca; Vicente, Patricia; Escudero Bakx, Gerard; Pérez Moya, Montserrat; Graells Sobré, Moisès; Espuña Camarasa, Antonio (Elsevier, 2015)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This paper investigates data based modelling of complex nonlinear processes, for which a first principle model useful for process monitoring and control is not available. These empirical models may be used as soft sensors ...

    Here, a smart mesh actuator, able to self-evolve under temperature and humidity control,has been developed. Thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)-based materialsare widely appliedin ...

  • Performance analysis of a self-protection system for vehicles in case of WUI fire entrapment 

    Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Sebastià, Joan; Mata Miquel, Cristian; Agueda Costafreda, Alba; Valero Pérez, Mario Miguel; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia (2019)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Sheltering inside a civilian vehicle has proved to be a high risk strategy in case of wildfire entrapment. Survival is by no means guaranteed, especially in moderate to high-intensity wildfires. However, vehicles do offer ...

  • Computing wildfire behaviour metrics from CFD simulation data 

    Valero Pérez, Mario Miguel; Pastor Ferrer, Elsa; Mata, Christian; Rios Rubiras, Oriol; Planas Cuchi, Eulàlia; Parsons, Russell (International Association of Wildland Fire, 2019)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    In this article, we demonstrate a new post-processing methodology which can be used to analyse CFD wildfire simulation outputs in a model-independent manner. CFD models produce a great deal of quantitative output but require ...
