• Analysis of a nature-inspired shape for a vertical axis wind turbine 

      Blanco Damota, Javier; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; Couce-Casanova, Antonio; Telmo Miranda, Javier; Caccia, Claudio Giovanni; Lamas, M.I. (MDPI, 2022-07-12)
      [Abstract] Wind energy is gaining special interest worldwide due to the necessity of reducing pollutant emissions and employ renewable resources. Traditionally, horizontal axis wind turbines have been employed but certain ...
    • Numerical Analysis of Emissions from Marine Engines Using Alternative Fuels 

      Lamas, M.I.; Rodríguez, C.G.; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; Telmo Miranda, Javier (Sciendo, 2015-12-30)
      [Abstract]: The current restrictions on emissions from marine engines, particularly sulphur oxides (SOx ), nitrogen oxides (NOx ) and carbon dioxide (CO2 ), are compelling the shipping industry to a change of tendency. In ...
    • Numerical analysis of several port configurations in the Fairbanks-Morse 38D8-1/8 opposed piston marine engine 

      Lamas, M.I.; Rodríguez, Carlos G.; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; Telmo Miranda, Javier (University of Zagreb. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, 2015)
      [Abstract] The aim of the present paper is to analyze several port configurations in the Fairbanks-Morse 38D8-1/8 marine diesel engine. The motivation comes from the high number of intake and exhaust ports which characterizes ...
    • Numerical Model of SO2 Scrubbing with Seawater Applied to Marine Engines 

      Lamas, M.I.; Rodríguez, C.G.; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; Telmo Miranda, Javier (Sciendo, 2016-06-30)
      [Abstract]: The present paper proposes a CFD model to study sulphur dioxide (SO2) absorption in seawater. The focus is on the treatment of marine diesel engine exhaust gas. Both seawater and distilled water were compared ...
    • Optimization of a nature-inspired shape for a vertical axis wind turbine through a numerical model and an artificial neural network 

      Blanco Damota, Daniel; Rodríguez-García, JuanDeDios; Couce-Casanova, Antonio; Telmo Miranda, Javier; Caccia, Claudio Giovanni; Lamas, M.I. (MDPI, 2022-08-11)
      [Abstract] The present work proposes an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze vertical axis wind turbines of the Savonius type. These turbines are appropriate for low wind velocities due to their low starting torque. ...
