Port capacity forecasting and the impact of the dredging works on port sea operations using discrete event simulation [PDF]
, 2016 Continuous capacity expansion is vital for ports to handle future growth due to the increase in volume of maritime transport and size of the vessels. Some improvements and developments are required for the port to enhance

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Microseira wollei is a benthic cyanobacterium that can cause harmful algal blooms (HABs) and often requires management. However, a pervasive challenge for M. wollei management is characterizing the spatial and temporal extent of an impacted area, which can be time and resource intensive.

Slip characteristics of planar and rough granite fractures under unloading normal force
Frontiers in Earth ScienceUnloading processes are common in natural systems. Intense unloading activities can alter the frictional equilibrium of faults and induce their instabilities.

Effects of suspended sediments on the sponge holobiont with implications for dredging management
Scientific Reports, 2017 Dredging can cause high suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in the water column, posing a hazard to filter feeding organisms like sponges as sediment may clog their aquiferous systems and reduce feeding.

Free Walking Tours: A Game Theoretical Approach
Managerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Free guided walking tours are becoming increasingly common in cities that are popular tourist destinations. We use game theoretical tools to model and analyze the competition between several tour operators competing in one destination. The model consists of two stages: In the first, each operator decides on the level of effort to invest in ...

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2016 The turbulent flow in a centrifugal pump impeller is bounded by complex surfaces, including blades, a hub and a shroud. The primary challenge of the flow simulation arises from the generation of a boundary layer between the surface of the impeller and ...

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A new model for the simulation of fluid flow through rough cracks is presented. The model combines a probabilistic cut finite element method (PCutFEM) to capture the unfitted boundary condition at the fluid interface, with a stochastic random field generator to represent the crack asperities.
