Adaptive breakwaters with inflatable elements for coastal protection. Preliminary numerical estimation of their performance
(2022-05)
Article
Open AccessExcessive erosion of sand beaches defines a serious problem worldwide and is particularly pronounced in the Mediterranean region. One of the typical mea- sures for alleviating this erosion consists in building rigid ... -
Semi-Lagrangian formulation for the advection–diffusion–absorption equation
(2021-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe present a numerical method for solving advective–diffusive–absorptive problems with high values of advection and absorption. A Lagrangian approach based on the updated version of the classical Particle Finite Element ... -
Assessment of simplified momentum equations for free surface flows through rigid porous media
(Springer Nature, 2023-06)
Article
Open AccessIn many applications, free surface flow through rigid porous media has to be modeled. Examples refer to coastal engineering applications as well as geotechnical or biomedical applications. Albeit the frequent applications, ... -
Numerical prediction of the distribution of black carbon in a street canyon using a semi-Lagrangian finite element formulation
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe present a procedure for coupling the fluid and transport equations to model the distribution of a pollutant in a street canyon, in this case, black carbon (BC). The fluid flow is calculated with a stabilized finite ... -
Numerical simulation of particle impact drilling (PID) systems: a one-way coupled approach
(Springer, 2022-07)
Article
Open AccessA numerical technique based on a CFD-DEM method is presented for the analysis of particle impact drilling (PID) systems. The method is built from a preexisting finite element Navier–Stokes solver for the fluid phase and a ... -
PFEM formulation for thermo-coupled FSI analysis: application to nuclear core melt accident
(2017-10)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this paper is to present a Lagrangian formulation for thermo-coupled fluid–structure interaction (FSI) problems and to show its applicability to the simulation of hypothetical scenarios of a nuclear core melt ... -
Novel seismic design solution for underground structures. Case study of a 2-story 3-bay subway station
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Article
Open AccessThis paper proposes an innovative seismic design approach for shallow rectangular cut-and-cover underground subway or railway stations. The traditional approach is to design rigid frame-like structures by connecting rigidly ... -
Factors influencing Safety on Construction Projects (fSCPs): types and categories
(2021-10)
Article
Open AccessDue to the fact of activity, environment and work dynamics, the construction industry is characterised by high accident rates. Different initiatives have emerged to reduce these figures, which focus on using new methodologies ... -
Buildair H75-SAEI Hangar
(2021-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn July 2019, the largest inflatable hangar of the world has been installed by Buildair in Jeddah. Its main function is to shelter and maintain aircrafts such as Airbus 330 or Boeing 777-200ER, during an expected lifetime ... -
A FIC-FEM procedure for the shallow water equations over partially wet domains
(2022-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe present a stable finite element formulation for the shallow water equations using the finite increment calculus (FIC) procedure. This research is focused on the stability properties of the FIC technique and uses linear ... -
A simple and effective 1D-element discrete-based method for computational bone remodeling
(Gordon and Breach Science Publishers, 2022-02)
Article
Open AccessIn-silico models applied to bone remodeling are widely used to investigate bone mechanics, bone diseases, bone-implant interactions, and also the effect of treatments of bone pathologies. This paper proposes a new methodology ... -
Study of the aerodynamic forces on a simplified shape X-43 aircraft under supersonic conditions, design optimization
(2020-01-22)
Article
Open AccessThe paper focuses on the shape optimization, based on the resultant aerodynamic forces, of a simplified X-43 aircraft. The equations of oblique shock waves and Prandtl-Meyer expansion waves, along with the improvement of ...
