The Maritime Engineering Laboratory (LIM/UPC) of the Technical University of Catalonia has long-standing experience in the field of maritime engineering. It is a unit of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the School of Civil Engineering of Barcelona. The LIM/UPC is made up of a team of highly qualified professionals who have solid experience and come from different technical and scientific disciplines (mathematics, physics, geology, civil engineering, oceanography, etc.), who are organised into specialised workgroups that are well-coordinated among themselves. This enables a naturally multidisciplinary approach to the services offered. The basic aims are to undertake basic and applied research, to develop oceanographic and maritime technology, to draw up training programmes for different levels and to organise dissemination activities in the maritime and coastal engineering fields. The main research lines are coastal and estuarine hydrodynamics, maritime environment climate.

Assessment and improvement of the wave generation accuracy using a wave separation method
(2022-04)
Article
Open AccessFree-wave contamination is a non-desirable but frequent characteristic in many wave tank experiments. Higherorder wave generation is not widely implemented yet, whereas the effectiveness of active wave absorption systems ... -
Wave overtopping assessment in DualSPHysics for real sea states of 1000 random waves
(New Jersey Institute of Technology, 2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work the numerical model DualSPHysics has been applied to study the complex phenomenon of wave overtopping characterising dike-promenade coastal defence layout. The model has been first validated, by comparing the ... -
SPH simulation of hydrodynamic behaviour of Tetrapods against solitary wave
(New Jersey Institute of Technology, 2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this study, we aimed to reproduce the hydrodynamic behavior of Tetrapod units against solitary waves using SPH methods. In particular, the DualSPHysics code was coupled with the multiphysics library Project Chrono. ... -
SPH modelling of extreme loads exerted onto a point absorber WEC
(CRC Press, 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe proposed work aims to prove the capability of the DualSPHysics numerical code to deal with the interaction of slamming waves with a Wave Energy Converter (WEC). In particular, the analysed device is a point-absorber ... -
Maneuvering and operational strategies using AIS data
(CRC Press, 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyAutomatic Identification System (AIS) is a transmitter information system mandatory for ma- rine traffic. Although it was originally designed to help vessels in avoiding collisions, AIS data can be used as a decision-making ... -
Improving operational ocean models for the Spanish Port Authorities: assessment of the SAMOA coastal forecasting service upgrades
(MDPI, 2022-02)
Article
Open AccessThe Puertos del Estado SAMOA coastal and port ocean forecast service delivers operational ocean forecasts to the Spanish Port Authorities since 01/2017 (originally set-up for 9 ports). In its second development phase ... -
The economic impact of sea level rise-induced decrease in the carrying capacity of Catalan beaches (NW Mediterranean, Spain)
(2022-03)
Article
Open AccessSea-level rise (SLR)-induced erosion will contribute significantly to the reduction of the surface of beaches worldwide. In the absence of adaptation measures, this implies a decrease in the recreational carrying capacity ... -
COVID-19 impact on maritime traffic and corresponding pollutant emissions. The case of the Port of Barcelona
(2022-02)
Article
Open AccessThe impact of the SARS-CoV pandemic has gone well beyond health concerns, reaching the maritime industry. The study on the environmental impact of shipping industry during COVID-19 pandemic can provide useful insights to ... -
Assessment of harbour inoperability and adaptation cost due to sea level rise: application to the port of Tangier-Med (Morocco)
(2022-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper intends to assess the potential impacts of the future SLR on the operability of berthing structures and to estimate in monetary terms the adaptation costs to it. To do this, three scenarios of SLR are considered, ... -
