Spatial variability analysis of renewal time in harbour environments using a Lagrangian model
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2025-02)
Article
Open AccessThe water quality in port domains is highly dependent on the capacity for renewal and mixing with external water. This study uses Lagrangian modelling to investigate renewal time in Barcelona, Tarragona, and Gijón harbours ... -
Processes controlling the dispersion and beaching of floating marine debris in the Barcelona coastal region
(Frontiers Media, 2025-01-27)
Article
Open AccessCoastal areas are considered potential sinks for plastic in marine environments. Data from a Lagrangian numerical simulation at a coastal scale using high-resolution hydrodynamic information and observational data of river ... -
Numerical modeling of the dispersion and accumulation of marine litter from the Dniester River in coastal areas of the northwestern Black Sea
(2025-04)
Article
Open AccessThis study investigates the transport and accumulation of Floating Marine Litter (FML) in the northwestern Black Sea, with a focus on the influence of the Dniester River and regional circulation patterns, including the ... -
Modelling the hydrodynamic response of a floating offshore wind turbine – a comparative study
(2025-02)
Article
Open AccessThis paper summarises the work conducted within the 1st FOWT (Floating Offshore Wind Turbine) Comparative Study organised by the EPSRC (UK) ‘Extreme loading on FOWTs under complex environmental conditions’ and ‘Collaborative ... -
An analysis and comparison of the hydrodynamic behavior of ships using mesh-based and meshless computational fluid dynamics simulations
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-11)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a comparison of two turbulence models implemented in two different frameworks (Eulerian and Lagrangian) in order to simulate the motion in calm water of a displacement hull. The hydrodynamic resistance ... -
Unveiling the role of storm surges as a driver of flooding on the western Mediterranean: a case study of the Ebro Delta
(2024-11)
Article
Open AccessStorm surges in the Western Mediterranean are generally low in magnitude, making their contribution to coastal fooding less signifcant compared to wave overtopping. Nonetheless, low-lying, sheltered coasts such as deltas ... -
Development of an SPH-based numerical wave–current tank and application to wave energy converters
(2025-01)
Article
Open AccessThis research proposes a high-fidelity based numerical tank designed to analyze the modified hydrodynamics that develops in waves–current fields, aimed at generating power matrices for wave energy converters (WEC). This ... -
Characterization of overtopping volumes from focused wave groups over smooth dikes with an emerged toe: insights from physical model tests
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-07)
Article
Open AccessThis research examines the overtopping volumes associated with focused wave groups on smooth dikes with an emerged toe. Focused wave groups are employed to represent the highest waves of random sea states in a compact form, ... -
Exploring wave–vegetation interaction at stem scale: analysis of the coupled flow–structure interactions using the SPH-Based DualSPHysics code and the FEA module of chrono
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-07)
Article
Open AccessAquatic vegetation in the littoral zone plays a crucial role in attenuating wave energy and protecting coastal communities from hazardous events. This study contributes to the development of numerical models aimed at ... -
Assessing future wave climate in the Ebro Delta using SWAN nested modelling and CMIP6 wind projections
(2024-10-01)
Article
Open AccessCoastal communities and ecosystems around the world are currently facing serious threats including flooding and erosion, which will be exacerbated by climate change in the coming century. While many studies focus on sea ... -
Large-scale experiments on beach profile evolution and surf and swash zone sediment transport induced by long waves, wave groups and random waves
(2011-02-01)
Article
Open AccessNew large-scale laboratory data are presented on the influence of long waves, bichromatic wave groups and random waves on sediment transport in the surf and swash zones. Physical model testing was performed in the large-scale ... -
Experimental investigation of surface buoyant jet interactions with grid obstructions: implications for aquaculture
(Frontiers Media, 2024-11-08)
Article
Open AccessFreshwater inputs originating from terrestrial streams and gullies that discharge into quiescent, semi-enclosed coastal regions (such as estuaries, tidal inlets or lagoons), typically provide point sources of nutrients ...
