The effects of array configuration on the hydro-environmental impacts of tidal turbines.
(2012)
Tidal stream turbines provide a technically viable means of generating electricity from a sustainable resource; however, economic viability will require the deployment of multiple devices in array formations in a manner ...
Galway Bay bathymetry comparison from Admiralty Chart and LiDAR datasets.
(2012)
The primary objective of this paper was to test the sensitivity of numerical models to bathymetry
datasets. Bathymetric datasets used were from; 1) Admiralty Charts and 2) LiDAR & Multi-
Beam Echo Sounder surveys. The ...
Numerical simulation and assessment of the effects of inlet configuration on the flushing time of a potable water service reservoir
(Conferences and Events at DigitalCommons@USU, 2018-05-15)
Service reservoirs provide the dual function of balancing supply with demand and providing adequate pressure in the water supply network by maintaining sufficient pressure head. In a potable water service reservoir, the ...
Vortex drop shaft structures: state-of-the-art and future trends
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2019-09-01)
Vortex drop shaft structures have played a critical role in hydraulic engineering; from one of their first
applications in hydroelectric energy dissipation in the 1940s, to numerous contemporary installations throughout
modern ...
Interactions, mechanisms and impact of future coastal urban flooding. A case study of Cork city
(Hydrology Ireland, 2020-11-17)
In coastal floodplains, high river flows and high coastal water levels can result in extensive flooding. Mechanisms of flooding play a crucial role in flood characteristics with distinctive differences in flood wave ...
Assessment of water quality using Water Quality Index (WQI) models and advanced geostatistical technique
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-27)
Water quality index (WQI) models are popular tools to evaluate the quality of water; as such they have been
developed and used by many agencies worldwide. However, the WQI model may generate excessive uncertainties in ...
Application of water quality index models to an Irish estuary
(Civil Engineering Research Association of Ireland (CERAI), 2020-08-27)
The paper investigates the application of different Water Quality Index (WQI) models for to estuarine waters. WQI models are aggregation based mathematical models that convert extensive water quality data into a single ...
