Building performance optimization using cross-domain scenario modeling, linked data, and complex event processing
(Elsevier, 2013-01-28)
The scenario modeling method empowers building managers by enabling comprehensive performance analysis in commercial buildings, but is currently limited to data from the building management domain. This paper proposes that ...
A computational toolchain for the automatic generation of multiple Reduced-Order Models from CFD simulations
(Elsevier, 2019-05-25)
This paper describes the development of a systematic tool chain capable of automatically extracting accurate and efficient Reduced-Order Models (ROMs) from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. These ROMs can ...
Energy efficiency facets: Innovative district cooling systems
(Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Center, 2017-03-31)
Cooling demand in buildings is globally increasing, therefore developing more efficient cooling systems is important for the sustainability of European cities. Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the ...
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 ...
Defect evaluation of the honeycomb structures formed during the drilling process
(SAGE Publications, 2019-07-02)
In this paper, a comprehensive experimental investigation was carried out to precisely characterize the delamination and uncut fiber in the drilling process. A digital imaging procedure was developed in order to calculate ...
An anatomically accurate dielectric profile of the porcine kidney
(IOP Publishing, 2018-02-26)
Microwave ablation is a promising treatment for kidney cancer. Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of biological tissues is vital for quantifying the safety, reliability and accuracy of ablation, among other ...
Strain-gradient modelling of grain size effects on fatigue of CoCr alloy
(Elsevier, 2014-07-30)
A strain-gradient crystal plasticity framework based on physical dislocation mechanisms is developed for simulation of the experimentally observed grain size effect on the low cycle fatigue of a CoCr alloy. Finite-element ...
A framework for determining unsaturated zone time lags at catchment scale
(Elsevier Masson, 2016-12-10)
The responses of waterbodies to agricultural programmes of measures are frequently delayed by hydrological time lags through the unsaturated zone and groundwater. Time lag may therefore, impede the achievement of remediation ...
Evaluating long-term performance of low-cost adsorbents using small-scale adsorption column experiments
(Elsevier, 2016-05-31)
This study investigated a novel method of predicting the long-term phosphorus removal performance of large-scale adsorption filters, using data derived from short-term, small-scale column experiments. The filter media ...
The short-term effects of management changes on watertable position and nutrients in shallow groundwater in a harvested peatland forest
(Elsevier, 2014-09-01)
Management changes such as drainage, fertilisation, afforestation and harvesting (clearfelling) of forested peatlands influence watertable (WT) position and groundwater concentrations of nutrients. This study investigated ...
