Weather forecasting is an essential but complex task because of its substantial influence on human life and advanced atmospheric dynamics. In recent years, deep learning-based techniques have gain high attention for weather forecasting. Nevertheless, current forecasting models ignore the...

Recently, there has been a rise in research based on data-driven based machine learning models to address the issue of processing speed posed by various physiological simulations. The majority of studies, however, have concentrated on creating models for particular water sources, drainage systems...

The large cities are facing with a phenomenon called high-rise buildings which is due to the increasing of the population and also developing the cities. One of the negative impacts of high-rise buildings is the change in urban wind flow. Air pollutions is a major problem in the cities and the wind...

The present study simulates the flow and temperature fields in a street canyon caused by solar heating of road and building surfaces, in either calm and weak wind conditions. Six scenarios, formed by changing the sources of heat fluxes, the wind speed (0, 1 and 3 m s^-1) and direction (±), are...

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a promising simulation technique in the family of Lagrangian mesh-free methods, especially for flows that undergo large deformations. Particle methods do not require a mesh (grid) for their implementation, in contrast to conventional Computational Fluid...

Due to the intermittent and fluctuating nature of wind and other renewable energy sources, their integration into electricity systems requires large-scale and flexible storage systems to ensure uninterrupted power supply and to reduce the percentage of produced energy that is discarded or curtailed...

Odours are among the main causes of complaints in regards to environmental issues for a variety of plants, including landfills. The emissions from landfills can affect the quality of life and negatively influence the area nearby. To protect people living in the surroundings from excessive odour...

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation using CFX, ANSYS 11.0, has been carried out using a multiphase flow model with an Eulerian-Eulerian approach for an airlift column photobioreactors (PBR). Transient simulations were performed for three inlet air flow, 2, 3 and 5 l/min. The contours for...

This paper is focussed on the study of the air movement and temperature distribution inside refrigerating compartment of household frost-free refrigerators. It is well known that the correct air circulation and temperature distribution inside the refrigerated chamber are two of the most important...

In this study, the development of a numerical model simulating surface drip irrigation from equidistant line sources in stratified soils under various conditions is being presented. The developed numerical model was used to investigate the effects of hysteresis, discharge rate, and soil hydraulic...

The influence of microscale and mesoscale meteorology on the local scale variation of air temperature cannot be correctly simulated by the coarse resolution Global Climate Models. The scope of this work is to develop a hybrid dynamic-statistical downscaling procedure and quantify its predictive...

In order to design a network of drainage canals, it is essential to consider the excess water from the agricultural land (overland flow) and to evaluate the characteristics of flow routing, such as the flow depths and discharges in the system of tertiary and main drainage canals of various order. In...

As part of an effort to understand the water quality dynamics in the Kouris Dam and the impact of possible management strategies, the present study assessed the transport process of atrazine in this reservoir and the effects of bottom and surface withdrawal schemes. The 2- D laterally averaged CE...

A simple model is presented for the dynamic calculation of the sludge blanket height and concentrations of suspended solids (diluted, sludge blanket and return sludge) in circular secondary settling tanks. The model combines a mass balance equation with three empirical equations, which account for...

The development of a conceptual site model (CSM) is an invaluable tool used for assessing and planning remedial actions at a contaminated site. The CSM incorporates site-specific, hydrogeologic and geochemical information to identify contaminants of concern, sources of pollution, environmental...

Pollution levels in an urban street-canyon area are determined numerically as part of the European research project OSCAR using the ADREA-HF code. Aim of the modeling is twofold: (i) to investigate the flow-field and carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations in the area and (ii) compare with measurements...

In this paper, three-dimensional numerical simulations are used to simulate the wind flow structure over coal stockpiles of a real configuration of a power plant. Two configurations are tested for various wind directions: the first one without representing the buildings and the second one with the...

ADREA-HF, which is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code, is utilised in order to numerically study the flow and concentration fields within a street-canyon area. The selected site is Runeberg Str., a typical urban street canyon with an aspect ratio of approximately 1:1 in Helsinki, Finland. The...
