A multivariate model of NW Mediterranean extreme events at present and future climate: hydrodynamics, energy and duration
(International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG), 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyA statistical model of the future wave-extreme-climate under the RCP8.5 Climatic-Change scenario was required. Some variables of interest are energy, unitary energy, peak wave-period, duration, wave direction and growth-decay ... -
Coastal sustainability for uncertain futures: a Spanish Mediterranean case from the RISES-AM- project
(2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis document presents the impacts of future climatic conditions as a function of coastal typology. The impact assessment is carried out at decadal and storm scales showing how such a combination produces the worst levels ... -
Experimental RAO’s analysis of a monolithic concrete spar structure for offshore floating wind turbines
(2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyNowadays the offshore wind energy market is clearly oriented to be extended around the world. Bottom fixed solutions for supporting offshore wind turbines are useful in shallow waters which are available in ... -
Experiments on a scale model of a monolithic concrete spar for floating wind turbines
(2015)
Conference report
Open AccessPreliminary studies of a concept consisting of a monolithic concrete SPAR platform were presented in 2014. The studies were performed in the framework of the AFOSP KIC-InnoEnergy project (Alternative Floating Platform ... -
Erosive and accretive mobile bed experiments in large scale tests
(World Scientific Publishing, 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyTraditionally data and analysis for erosive or Accretive wave conditions have been carried out at relatively small scales and without enough spatial coverage or resolution. This limits the in depth analysis and does not ... -
Natural accretion mechanisms: the role in future coastal sustainability
(World Scientific Publishing, 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyAlthough recent research has focused on erosive processes, natural accretion mechanisms have been known for many years, and they can provide an efficient solution to deal with sediment starved coasts. In this paper we shall ... -

Modelación numérica de tejados en áreas urbanas
(2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyEntre los componentes del drenaje urbano superficial se encuentran los tejados. El flujo de la lluvia que cae sobre estos, puede ser descargado a las calles, colectores, o en ambos. En este trabajo se presenta un modelo ... -
1D, 2D and 3D modeling PF A PAC-UPC laboratory canal bend
(2014)
Conference report
Open AccessThe present study has been carried out to analyze the hydraulic behavior of the PAC-UPC canal, located in the Campus Nord of the Technical University of Catalonia. This constitutes a model of a real irrigation canal and, ... -
Testing water pollution in a two layer aquifer
(2011)
Conference lecture
Open AccessWater bodies around urban areas may be polluted with chemical elements from urban or industrial activities. We study the case of underground water pollution. This is a serious problem, since under- ground water is high ... -
Experimental studies on 3D impulse waves generated by rapid landslides and debris flows
(2013)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe input of material in a water body at high velocity, like a landslide or a debris flow, can induce a big, abnormal wave, known as impulse wave or landslide tsunami wave. Once the wave is triggered, the effects on the ... -
Effect of a termal pre-treatment and the temperature range on anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth (Eichornia Crassipes)
(2004)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyWater Hyacinth (WH -Eichornia Crassipes) causes environmental problems in tropical areas, such as water eutrophication. A possible solution is to collect the plant and to use it for biogas production, trying to valorise ...
