Mitigation of ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions from stored cattle slurry using acidifiers and chemical amendments
(Elsevier, 2019-07-28)Cattle and cow slurry storage is a significant source of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) and ammonia (NH3) emissions. While acidification has been demonstrated to significantly reduce these emissions, a knowledge gap ... -
A model for surface tension in the finite volume particle method without parasitic current
(NUI Galway, 2018-06-26)A surface tension model has been developed in the finite volume particle method (FVPM). Surface tension force is applied only on free-surface particles, which are inexpensively and robustly detected using the FVPM ... -
A model for surface tension in the meshless finite volume particle method without spurious velocity
(Elsevier, 2018-11-22)A surface tension model has been developed in the finite volume particle method (FVPM). FVPM is a conservative, consistent, meshless particle method that incorporates properties of both smoothed particle hydrodynamics and ... -
Model-based fault detection and diagnosis of air handling units: A comparison of methodologies
(Elsevier, 2014-12-26)This paper presents a comparison between two model based diagnostics methodologies that can be used to detect and diagnose various faults that occur in Air Handling Units. The process from model development to inference ... -
Modeling limits to growth
(Springer, Cham, 2016-06-15)This chapter introduces system dynamics models of limits to growth. First, a one-stock model is presented, where the growth rate varies, and is influenced by the system’s carrying capacity. Second, a model of economic ... -
Modeling of the dielectric properties of biological tissues within the histology region
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-11-27)The dielectric properties of biological tissues characterize the interaction of electromagnetic fields with the human body. As such, accurate knowledge of these properties is vital to the design and development of ... -
Modeling the influence of potassium content and heating rate on biomass pyrolysis
(Elsevier, 2017-03-14)This study presents a combined kinetic and particle model that describes the effect of potassium and heating rate during the fast pyrolysis of woody and herbaceous biomass. The model calculates the mass loss rate, over a ... -
Modelling nutrient and chlorophyll_a dynamics in an Irish brackish waterbody
(Elsevier, 2004-01)This paper presents aspects of a research investigation into nutrient fluxes into and out of an important Irish estuary, Wexford Harbour, located in the southeast of Ireland. Details of the methodology applied, the data ... -

Modelling of fretting in the pressure armour layer of flexible marine risers
(Elsevier, 2016-03-04)This paper presents a computational methodology for frictional contact mechanics of the pressure armour layer in flexible risers. This will allow, for the first time, quantification of key fretting variables, such as contact ... -
Modelling phytoplankton dynamics in a complex estuarine system
(2011)The primary objective of this research was to develop a generic methodology for numerical modelling of the water quality within estuarine systems; in particular, this research focused on modelling nutrient dynamics and ... -
Modelling stone column installation in an elasto-viscoplastic soil
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-12-31)The majority of numerical studies investigating stone column performance have used “wished-in-place” columns (no installation effects) in conjunction with elastoplastic soil models (no viscous effects). In the first part ... -
Modelling the degradation and elastic properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) films and regular open -cell tissue engineering scaffolds
(Elsevier, 2015-09-02)Scaffolding plays a critical rule in tissue engineering and an appropriate degradation rate and sufficient mechanical integrity are required during degradation and healing of tissue. This paper presents a computational ... -
Modelling the effects of climate change on urban coastal-fluvial flooding
(IWA Publishing, 2020-01-23)In coastal floodplains, high river flows and high coastal water levels can result in extensive flooding. Twenty-first century climate change is expected to alter these flood mechanisms. In this study, a coastal city of ... -
Modelling the hygro-mechanical creep behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)A fully coupled moisture-displacement finite element model has been developed to predict the viscoelastic, mechano-sorptive and swelling/shrinkage behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements when stressed under long-term ... -
Modelling the sensing radius of a coaxial probe for dielectric characterisation of biological tissues
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-08-22)The open-ended coaxial probe is the most common measurement tool used to dielectrically characterize biological tissues. Most healthy and malignant biological tissues are macroscopically heterogeneous, with the exception ... -
Models of flow-induced loading on blood cells in laminar and turbulent flow, with application to cardiovascular device flow
(Springer, 2007-08)Viscous shear stress and Reynolds stress are often used to predict hemolysis and thrombosis due to flow-induced stress on blood elements in cardiovascular devices. These macroscopic stresses are distinct from the true ... -
Modified wood as compression reinforcement of timber perpendicular to the grain
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2021-08-09)An investigation was carried out to examine the potential to utilise modified wood as a reinforcement for timber subjected to compression loading perpendicular to the grain. In recent years there has been a significant ... -
