Assessing capital investment on energy improvement projects from a global energy management perspective: a tri-generation case study
(NUI Galway, 2016)
For multi-national companies, assessment of energy improvement projects across a global site-base requires a thorough understanding of the driving factors affecting energy consumption on each site. Traditionally, assessment ...
Turbulence modelling using 3DVAR data assimilation in laboratory conditions
(2013)
The viability of turbulence parameter estimation in a numerical model using 3DVAR data assimilation technique is explored in this research. Water currents measured in a physical model are assimilated into the numerical ...
An FPGA-based stereoscopic camera - electronic design tools and techniques
(IEEE, 2010-08-05)
Electronic design tools and techniques for the implementation of a stereoscopic camera based on an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) are presented. The stages of an IPP (Image Processing Pipeline) are presented together ...
Development of a global energy management system for the life sciences industry: an energy management maturity model implementation
(NUI Galway, 2015-11)
The Global Energy Management System (GEMS) research project proposes a novel methodology for assessing capital energy-efficiency projects at a global level. The paper scope covers the systematic development and implementation ...
Methodology for quality checks for energy efficient buildings
(NUI Galway, 2017-03-01)
The built environment accounts for more than 40% of the overall energy consumption and 36% of the overall CO2 emissions in Europe. Moreover, statistics show that construction and the upkeep of European buildings and ...
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 ...
Cyclonic circulation in the western Irish Sea in future climate
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research, 2011-07-01)
The Irish Sea (IS) is a semi-enclosed body of water on the European Continental Shelf and the Western Irish Sea Gyre (WISG) is a characteristic phenomenon of the Sea. The gyre due to its significant effects on the circulation, ...
Mechanisms of flooding in Cork City
(International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015-11-17)
Flooding is one of the most frequent and devastating natural disasters. Many urban developments are located in estuaries where river flow and sea water merge. Cork City situated in the River Lee estuary frequently subject ...
Evolution of cooperation in N-player social dilemmas: The importance of being mobile
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
This paper addresses issues regarding the emergence of cooperation in evolutionary, spatial game-theoretic simulations. In the model considered, agents participate in a social dilemma with their neighbours and have the ...
Presence of emerging contaminants in treated sludges and their potential impacts on the environment
(NUI Galway, 2018-11-13)
Landspreading of sewage sludge remains the most economical and practical means for its disposal, with some countries, such as Ireland, disposing up to 90% to land. Its nitrogen, phosphorus and metal content make it an ...
