Hybrid multi-scale model for partially saturated media based on a pore network approach and lattice Boltzmann method
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA model combining the efficiency of the pore-network (PN) models and the accuracy of the lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is proposed. We introduce a multi-scale approach based on a decomposition of the granular assembly ... -
Flood risk assessment in an underground railway system under the impact of climate change: a case study of the Barcelona metro
(2020-07)
Article
Open AccessFlooding events can produce significant disturbances in underground transport systems within urban areas and lead to economic and technical consequences, which can be worsened by variations in the occurrence of climate ... -
Methodology to prioritize climate adaptation measures in urban areas: Barcelona and Bristol case studies
(2020-06)
Article
Open AccessIn the current context of fast innovation in the field of urban resilience against extreme weather events, it is becoming more challenging for decision-makers to recognize the most beneficial adaptation measures for their ... -
Impact of climate change on nearshore waves at a beach protected by a barrier reef
(2020-06)
Article
Open AccessBarrier reefs dissipate most incoming wind-generated waves and, as a consequence, regulate the morphodynamics of its inbounded shorelines. The coastal protective capacity of reefs may nevertheless be compromised by climate ... -
Quantification of energy loss in two grated inlets under pressure
(2020-06)
Article
Open AccessGrated inlets have the normal function of collecting the surface runoff into sewer networks, but when the flow exceeds the capacity of the sewer pipes and conduits get pressurized, an outflow from the sewer manholes and ... -
Improving accuracy of the moving grid particle finite element method via a scheme based on Strang splitting
(2020-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyParticle finite element method (PFEM) is a computational tool suitable for simulating fluid dynamics problems characterized by presence of moving boundaries. In this paper a new version of the method for incompressible ... -
Modelling 3D metal cutting problems with the particle finite element method
(Springer, 2020-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work presents the development of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) for the modelling of 3D solid mechanics problems under cutting conditions. The study and analysis of numerical models reproducing the cut of ... -
A state of the art review of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM)
(2020-11)
Article
Open AccessThe particle finite element method (PFEM) is a powerful and robust numerical tool for the simulation of multi-physics problems in evolving domains. The PFEM exploits the Lagrangian framework to automatically identify and ... -
Bioremediation of emerging micropollutants in irrigation water: the alternative of microalgae-based treatments
(2020-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present study evaluated the efficiency of a semi-closed horizontal tubular photobioreactor (PBR) at demonstrative scale to remove a total of 35 target compounds, including benzotriazoles, benzophenones, antibiotics and ... -
Probabilistic assessment of spatial heterogeneity of natural background concentrations in large-scale groundwater bodies through Functional Geostatistics
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe propose and exemplify a framework to assess Natural Background Levels (NBLs) of target chemical species in large-scale groundwater bodies based on the context of Object Oriented Spatial Statistics. The approach enables ... -
Selenate and selenite uptake, accumulation and toxicity in Lemna minuta
(2020-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe kinetics of Se uptake and toxicity to Lemna were studied over a period of 14 days of exposure to Se(IV) or Se(VI). The growth of Lemna stopped immediately after exposure to 5.0 mg/L of Se(IV) or Se(VI). The content of ... -
A second-order face-centred finite volume method on general meshes with automatic mesh adaptation
(2020-01-01)
Article
Open AccessA second-order face-centred finite volume strategy on general meshes is pro-posed. The method uses a mixed formulation in which a constant approximationof the unknown is computed on the faces of the mesh. Such information ...
