Configuration Methodology for a Green Variety Reef System (AR group) Based on Hydrodynamic Criteria – Application to the Ría de Ares-Betanzos
(Elsevier, 2021-05-05)
[Abstract] For the evolution and development of artificial reefs to attain the expected results, hydrodynamics is emerging as a key factor that must be taken analyzed in detail. In particular, thanks to the hydrodynamics ...
Optimization of a Multiple Injection System in a Marine Diesel Engine through a Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making Approach
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] In this work, a numerical model was developed to analyze the performance and emissions of a marine diesel engine, the Wärtsilä 6L 46. This model was validated using experimental measurements and was employed to ...
Simulation of Boiling Heat Transfer at Different Reduced Temperatures with an Improved Pseudopotential Lattice Boltzmann Method
(MDPI, 2020-07)
[Abstract] The pseudopotential Lattice Boltzmann Method has attracted much attention in the recent years for the simulation of boiling heat transfer. Many studies have been published recently for the simulation of the ...
NOₓ Reduction in Diesel-Hydrogen Engines Using Different Strategies of Ammonia Injection
(MDPI, 2019-04)
[Abstract] In order to reduce NOₓ emissions in internal combustion engines, the present work analyzes a measurement which consists of injecting ammonia directly into the combustion chamber. A commercial compression ignition ...
Proposed Conceptual Framework to Design Artificial Reefs Based on Particular Ecosystem Ecology Traits
(MDPI, 2022-04-28)
[Abstract] Overfishing and pollution have led to marine habitat degradation, and as a result, marine fisheries are now in decline. Consequently, there is a real need to enhance marine ecosystems while halting the decline ...
How Important Are Ports for the Offshore Wind Industry?: The Case of Spain
(European Association for the Development of Renewable Energies, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ), 2021-09)
[Abstract] Offshore wind is becoming a new technology to develop a better sustainable world. Its progress is linked to the use of port facilities, where the offshore wind farms can be stored or pre-installed. The aim of ...
Erosive Degradation Study of Concrete Augmented by Mussel Shells for Marine Construction
(MDPI, 2021-10)
[Abstract] This work proposes a green material for artificial reefs to be placed in Galicia (northwest Spain) taking into account the principles of circular economy and sustainability of the ecosystem. New concrete ...
Internal Modifications to Optimize Pollution and Emissions of Internal Combustion Engines through Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making and Artificial Neural Networks
(MDPI, 2021-12)
[Abstract] The present work proposes several modifications to optimize both emissions and consumption in a commercial marine diesel engine. A numerical model was carried out to characterize the emissions and consumption ...
A New Theoretical Dynamic Analysis of Ship Rolling Motion Considering Navigational Parameters, Loading Conditions and Sea State Conditions
(MDPI, 2022)
[Abstract] Despite the IMO’s efforts and the large quantity of research carried out over the years concerning the sudden loss of stability in fishing vessels, and even the damage done to merchant fleets due to cargo shifting, ...
