Environmental impacts of milk powder and butter manufactured in the Republic of Ireland
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan; Zhan, Xinmin (Elsevier, 2016-11-11)The abolition of the milk quota system that was in place in Europe was abolished in 2015, which instigated an immediate increase in milk production in many European countries. This increase "will aid in addressing the ... -
Linear irregular wave generation in a numerical wave tank
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2015-07-09)In the design of any floating or fixed marine structure, it is vital to test models in order to understand the fluid/structure interaction involved. A relatively inexpensive method, compared to physical model testing, of ... -
Microbiological characterisation and impact of suspended solids on pathogen removal from wastewaters in dairy processing factories
Fitzhenry, Kelly; Rowan, Neil; Finnegan, William; Zhan, Xinmin; Clifford, Eoghan (Cambridge University Press, 2018-08-29)In this Research Communication we investigate the microbiological profile of 12 dairy wastewater streams from three contrasting Irish dairy processing factories to determine whether faecal indicators/pathogens were present ... -
Numerical modelling to aid in the structural health monitoring of wave energy converters
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie (2013)A vital aspect of ensuring the cost effectiveness of wave energy converters (WECs) is being able to monitor their performance remotely through structural health monitoring, as these devices are deployed in very harsh ... -
Numerical simulation of linear water waves and wave-structure interaction
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie (2012)One of the main stages in the design of wave energy converters (WEC's) is the numerical modelling of a given converter. In this paper, the numerical simulation of both linear deep water waves and linear waves for the finite ... -
Operational fatigue loading on tidal turbine blades using computational fluid dynamics
Finnegan, William; Fagan, Edward; Flanagan, Tomas; Doyle, Adrian; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2020-01-20)As the world moves to a greater reliance on renewable energy, a vital component will be the predictability and dependability of the energy source; tidal energy provides such a solution. Horizontal axis tidal turbines are ... -
The wave excitation forces on a truncated vertical cylinder in water of infinite depth
Finnegan, William; Meere, Martin; Goggins, Jamie (2013)When carrying out any numerical modelling it is useful to have an analytical approximation available to provide a check on the accuracy of the numerical results and to give insight into the underlying physics of the system. ...
