Storms and surges in Irish coastal waters
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-04-29)
Mechanisms of storm surge formation and severity on the north European continental shelf and, in particular, in the Irish coastal waters are examined in this paper. A numerical surge model was developed and used in combination ...
Assessment of intermittently loaded woodchip and sand filters to treat dairy soiled water
(IWA Publishing and Elsevier, 2016-07-31)
Land application of dairy soiled water (DSW) is expensive relative to its nutrient replacement value. The use of aerobic filters is an effective alternative method of treatment and potentially allows the final effluent to ...
Determination of flushing characteristics of the Irish Sea: A spatial approach
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011-12-08)
The Authors devised a novel generic approach to assessing the flushing of the Irish Sea through the determination of spatially distributed residence times and the development of flushing homogeneity curves. Results indicate ...
Long-term inter-annual variability of a cyclonic gyre in the western Irish Sea
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2011-05-26)
The western Irish Sea gyre (WISG) is a cyclonic baroclinic flow around a dome of stagnant water which develops each year during the heating season in the western Irish Sea. Research was carried out to determine long-term ...
Real-time monitoring framework to investigate the environmental and structural performance of buildings
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-12-20)
Energy provides safety, comfort and mobility to people, and is essential for industrial, commercial and societal growth. However, generation and consumption of energy give rise of greenhouse gases and various air pollutants, ...
Sustainable energy efficiency retrofits as residential buildings move towards nearly zero energy building (NZEB) standards
(Elsevier, 2020-01-24)
1.9 million housing units in Ireland are required to be retrofitted for the existing Irish national housing stock to be considered nearly zero energy building (nZEB). This paper assesses optimum retrofit packages aimed at ...
Effects of complex hydrodynamic processes on the horizontal and vertical distribution of Tc-99 in the Irish Sea
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-10-14)
The increased discharge of Tc-99 from the Sellafield plant following the commissioning of the Enhance Actinide Removal Plant in 1994 was reflected in higher Tc-99 activity concentrations over much of the Irish Sea The ...
Tide-surge interactions and their effects on total sea levels
(Springer Verlag, 2013-05-08)
The research presented in this paper involves the application of the joint probability method to the estimation of extreme water levels resulting from astronomical tides and surge residuals and the investigation of the ...
Performance and surface clogging in intermittently loaded and slow sand filters containing novel media
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-05-20)
Slow sand filers are commonly used in water purification processes. However, with the emergence of new contaminants and concern over removing precursors to disinfection by-products, as well as traditional contaminants, ...
Calibrated CFD simulation to evaluate thermal comfort in a highly-glazed naturally ventilated room
(Elsevier, 2013-08-30)
Natural ventilation is a sustainable solution to maintaining healthy and comfortable environmental conditions in buildings. However, the effective design, construction and operation of naturally ventilated buildings require ...
