AbstractThe preferred data for analyzing water availability are those of historical flow series of the sources of interest; however, most Brazilian watersheds do not have sufficient fluviometric monitoring. Such cases require techniques for transposing data from one region to another, otherwise known as ‘flow regionalization’. The present work aimed to compare the method proposed by Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento Sustentável (SEMAD) of the state of Goiás with the traditional method of regionalization for determining reference flow at the mouth of the surface catchment basin of t

Abstract Obtaining energy from tide currents in onshore locations is of great interest due to the proximity to the points of consumption. This opens the door to the feasibility of new installations based on hydrokinetic microturbines even in zones of moderate speed. In this context, the accuracy of energy predictions based on hydrodynamic models is of paramount importance. This research presents a high precision methodology based on a multidimensional hydrodynamic model that is used to study the energetic potential in estuaries.

Abstract:
AbstractThe carbon budget for limiting global warming to the targeted 1.5 ° is running out. Cities have a central role in climate change mitigation, as the vast majority of all greenhouse gas emissions occur to satisfy the energy and material needs of cities and their residents. However, cities typically only account for their direct local emissions from transportation, industry, and energy production. This may lead to the so-called low-carbon illusion of cities following from producing little and reporting low emissions, while extensively relying on imported material and energy flows. Consumption-based accounting, or carbon footprinting, enables overcoming this problem by assigning the emissions to the end user regardless of the place of production. However, currently the carbon footprinting methods only capture the harm side, and not the potential positive effects, the restorative or regenerative impacts, caused by green infrastructure, reforestation, and carbon capture and storage, for example. These positive impacts are sometimes called “carbon handprint”. In this chapter, we create a handprint-extended carbon footprinting method to illustrate how restorative and regenerative impacts can be incorporated consistently in the carbon accounting of cities and carbon footprints of consumers. We also link the discussion on regenerative cities with the remaining carbon budgets.

Abstract:
We briefly considered in Chapter 6 a geologically important class of flows—buoyancy driven flows—in which thermal effects hold an essential part in creating the forces that induce flow. We also should recall that fluid properties such as viscosity can vary with temperature. As fluids are heat-conducting media, taking into account the thermal energy conditions and heat flow within a fluid therefore is often an essential part of describing a flow field. Thermal energy, however, is not transported merely by conduction; in a moving fluid, thermal energy also is advected from position to position. In addition, recall that the thermal energy of a fluid, according to the first law of thermodynamics, is inextricably coupled with energy in the form of work performed between a fluid element and its surroundings. It is therefore important to consider the mechanical energy of a fluid when describing its thermal conditions. To this end, the developments below concern conservation of energy in both thermal and mechanical forms. Analogous to our treatment of conservation of mass, we will derive equations that describe a condition—conservation of energy—which must be satisfied at each coordinate position in a fluid. An important outcome of our development of expressions for conservation of energy is a set of dynamical equations for the special case of an ideal fluid. In component form, these are referred to as Euler’s equations, and arise from conservation of purely mechanical energy, neglecting thermal forms. (We will derive Euler’s equations again in Chapter 10 using an explicit treatment of the forces involved in fluid motion.) Conservation of energy also applies to flow in porous media; the relevant expressions are similar to those for purely fluid flow, but with several important differences that arise from the two-phase character (solid and fluid) of flow in porous media. In relation to this topic, we also will develop the idea of Hubbert’s potential, and the relation of this potential to piezometric head. This is a cornerstone of the theory of flow in porous media. Our objective is to illustrate how Hubbert’s potential, and head, are obtained from applying the idea of conservation of mechanical energy to a fluid.

Abstract:
The mathematical study of flow in porous media is typically based on the 1856 empirical result of Henri Darcy. This result, known as Darcy’s law, states that the velocity of a single-phase flow through a porous medium is proportional to the hydraulic gradient. The publication of Darcy’s work has been referred to as “the birth of groundwater hydrology as a quantitative science” (Freeze and Cherry, 1979). Although Darcy’s original equation was found to be valid for slow, steady, one-dimensional, single-phase flow through a homogeneous and isotropic sand, it has been applied in the succeeding 140 years to complex transient flows that involve multiple phases in heterogeneous media. To attain this generality, a modification has been made to the original formula, such that the constant of proportionality between flow and hydraulic gradient is allowed to be a spatially varying function of the system properties. The extended version of Darcy’s law is expressed in the following form: qα=-Kα . Jα (2.1) where qα is the volumetric flow rate per unit area vector of the α-phase fluid, Kα is the hydraulic conductivity tensor of the α-phase and is a function of the viscosity and saturation of the α-phase and of the solid matrix, and Jα is the vector hydraulic gradient that drives the flow. The quantities Jα and Kα account for pressure and gravitational effects as well as the interactions that occur between adjacent phases. Although this generalization is occasionally criticized for its shortcomings, equation (2.1) is considered today to be a fundamental principle in analysis of porous media flows (e.g., McWhorter and Sunada, 1977). If, indeed, Darcy’s experimental result is the birth of quantitative hydrology, a need still remains to build quantitative analysis of porous media flow on a strong theoretical foundation. The problem of unsaturated flow of water has been attacked using experimental and theoretical tools since the early part of this century. Sposito (1986) attributes the beginnings of the study of soil water flow as a subdiscipline of physics to the fundamental work of Buckingham (1907), which uses a saturation-dependent hydraulic conductivity and a capillary potential for the hydraulic gradient.

Modern supply chain applications are complex systems that play an important role in many different sectors. Supply chain management systems are implemented to handle increasing complexity and flows of goods. However, most of these systems are also increasing the complexity of providing trust and a global view of transactions in a distributed supply chain system. Blockchain technology introduces a new architectural style to support the traceability and trust of transactions performed by participants in a network. This chapter uses this emerging technology to realize a supply chain use case from JLP Meats in the UK with improved transparency, trust, and end-to-end querying while discussing potential challenges of realizing large-scale enterprise blockchain applications. The process of farm-to-fork is implemented and tested for traceability, item recall, block analysis, congestion enabling food safety, and sustainable agriculture.

Abstract:
In the jargon of cytometry, cellular characteristics, such as size, nucleic acid content, and membrane potential, are usually referred to as parameters, a term that is also used for the physical characteristics, such as absorption, light scattering, and fluorescence intensity, that are measured by cytometric instrumentation. Fluorescence, as a physical parameter, plays a key role in the detection of probes on beads for multiplexed analysis. Cellular parameters can be classed as intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic cellular parameters are those that can be measured without the use of a reagent; measurement of extrinsic parameters requires the use of reagents, which are almost always referred to as probes, thereby occasioning confusion among molecular biologists new to cytometry. Cellular parameters are also characterized as structural or functional; DNA and RNA content and the presence and copy number of an antigen or nucleic acid sequence are structural parameters, whereas internal pH, membrane potential, and enzyme activity are functional parameters. The distinction between structural and functional parameters blurs at the edge, but the concept has been generally useful. Fluorescent probes allow measurement of the widest variety of extrinsic cellular parameters. For an atom or molecule to fluoresce, it must first absorb a photon, raising an electron to a higher energy level that is known as an excited state. Excitation by absorption requires only about a femtosecond. Fluorescence occurs when the electron loses all or some of the absorbed energy by emission of a photon. The fluorescence lifetime, that is, the period between excitation and emission, is typically on the order of a few nanoseconds for fluorescent organic materials but is notably longer (hundreds of microseconds) for some materials (e.g., lanthanide chelates). In almost all cases, some of the excitation energy is lost nonradiatively by transitions between different vibrational energy levels of the electronic excited state; this loss requires that the emitted energy be less than the energy absorbed, meaning that the fluorescence emission will be at a longer wavelength than the excitation. The difference between the principal excitation and emission maxima in the fluorescence spectrum is known as the Stokes shift, honoring George Stokes, who first described fluorescence in the mid-1800s. Typical Stokes shifts are no more than a few tens of nanometers.

The tourism domain has represented, for a long time, one of the main sources of revenue for the different destinations that have awarded a special focus to its development and enrichment. Its types of impacts, whether economic, social, or environmental, bring both great benefits and pose a certain level of risk. Regardless of the latter, people will be always willing to travel to get to know new cultures, and there will always be competition between destinations at the time of attracting and maintaining tourism flows. The last decades have been marked by the emergence of a new tourist flow (i.e., the Chinese outbound segment), which brings great economic potential to the Central and Eastern Europe region. To this end, this chapter focuses on presenting the current situation of the presence of the Chinese segment within CEE and some of the specificities of their tourist consumer behavior.

Abstract:
Changes in left ventricular (LV) function are an early manifestation of the ischaemic cascade and often precede the well-recognized markers of ischaemia, such as ST segment changes or chest pain. Decreased ventricular compliance, diminished regional and global contractility, and elevated end-diastolic pressure occur within a few seconds of interruption of coronary blood flow by balloon occlusion, whereas recovery of these parameters can lag several minutes behind balloon deflation, restoration of blood flow, and resolution of electrocardiogram (ECG) changes. Prolonged postischaemic myocardial dysfunction, or stunning, can occur following recurrent ischaemia, which may persist for several hours or days even when blood flow is restored. The impact of transient or repetitive coronary occlusion on LV function is rarely of clinical consequence when percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is performed in patients with preserved ventricular function, but is potentially hazardous in those who have LV impairment at the outset, particularly when there is a large amount of myocardium at risk. These patients have attenuated haemodynamic reserve and may recover incompletely from post-ischaemic stunning, which increases the risk of entering a deteriorating spiral of decreasing cardiac output and worsening ischaemia that could culminate in cardiogenic shock or ventricular arrhythmias. Furthermore, patients with impaired LV function tend to be older and have more advanced comorbidities, which are independently associated with an adverse outcome following any form of revascularization.

Abstract:
Solving potential-flow problems using the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a strong tradition in marine hydrodynamics. An early example of the application of BEM is by Bai &amp; Yeung [1]. The bottleneck of the conventional BEM in terms of CPU time and computer memory arises as the number of unknowns increases. Wu &amp; Eatock Taylor [2] suggested that the Finite Element Method (FEM) field solver is much faster than the BEM based on their comparisons in a wave making problem. In this paper, we aim to find a highly efficient method to solve fully-nonlinear wave-body interaction problems based o

Abstract:
The significant increase in demand for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and the economic aspects of its transportation resulted in increases in the number and size of LNG carriers. One of the design issues for LNG carriers is the sloshing phenomenon because containment systems widely used nowadays have no internal structures. Furthermore, because the weights of ship and cargo are comparable and ship operators want more flexible operations allowing partial fillings in tanks, the coupling effect between ship motions and sloshing requires further investigation, including the effect of ship distortion.

Abstract:
Based on two families of relative stream-surface theory, the differential and integral equations of the endwall boundary layer in the S2 stream surface (hub to tip stream surface) have been established in the orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system in the present paper. By directly associating the blade force defects with the warping of S2 stream surface near the endwall, we have proposed a new method for predicting the endwall boundary layer. This method can be used to conduct the interactions of the end wall boundary layer with the S2 stream surface potentisl flow, in order to get the itera

Abstract:
The elastic structures subjected to flowing flow can undergo the excessive vibrations and consequently a considerable change in their dynamic behavior, and they may lose their stability. A fluid-solid finite element model is developed to model a set of plates subjected to flowing fluid under various boundary conditions, fluid level, and fluid velocity that strongly influence the dynamic behavior of the plates. A hybrid method, which combines the finite element approach with the classical theory of plates, is used to derive the dynamic equations of the coupled fluid-structure system. The membra

Abstract:
Residual surface roughness is often introduced in the manufacture process with ball-end or fillet-end milling. Instead of paying extra cost to remove these small-scale residual surface structures, there is a potential usage of them as flow control device. This numerical study therefore explores the ability of engineered surface structure in controlling the endwall secondary flow in turbomachinery. The CFD method is validated against the existing experimental data obtained for a 90 degree turning duct flow with a single rib fence placed on the end-wall. The working principle of the engineered s

Abstract:
Calcined coke is a competitive material for making carbon anodes for smelting of alumina to aluminum. Calcining is an energy intensive industry and a significant amount of heat is exhausted in the calcining process. Efficiently managing this energy resource is tied to the profit margin and survivability of a calcining plant. To help improve the energy efficiency and reduce natural gas consumption of the calcining process, a 3-D computational model is developed to gain insight of the thermal-flow and combustion behavior in the calciner.

Abstract:
A non-linear coupled-mode system of horizontal equations is presented, as derived from Luke’s (1967) variational principle, which models the evolution of nonlinear water waves in intermediate depth over a general bottom topography. The vertical structure of the wave field is represented by means of a complete local-mode series expansion of the wave potential. This series contains the usual propagating and evanescent modes, plus two additional terms, the free-surface mode and the sloping-bottom mode, enabling to consistently treat the non-vertical end-conditions at the free-surface and the bott

Abstract A 3-Dimensional numerical wave tank based on the fully nonlinear potential flow theory has been developed in OpenFOAM, where the Laplace equation of velocity potential is discretized by Finite Volume Method. The water surface is tracked by the semi-Eulerian-Lagrangian method, where water particles on the free surface are allowed to move vertically only. The incident wave is generated by specifying velocity profiles at inlet boundary with a ramp function at the beginning of simulation to prevent initial transient disturbance.
