Numerical wave tank development for hydrodynamic analysis of a tidal turbine

Many existing studies show that the ocean tidal turbine experiences frequent and large-scale fluctuations of hydrodynamic loads during its operation, especially when effected by surface waves, which may lead to blade damage due to fatigue. Therefore, the

Revisiting Inductively Coupled Wireless Coils in MRI: Mitigating Over‐Coupling With Preamplifiers

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Inductively coupled coils enhance local MRI sensitivity, yet strong coupling with nearby primary coils typically causes resonance splitting and impedance mismatch, which are traditionally considered detrimental. This work investigates why inductively coupled coils can still function effectively even in the presence of severe coupling ...

Assessment of the power available in a fixed offshore oscillating water column plant [PDF]

, 2012
The early effects of the global warming can be observed and people around the world are beginning to realize the seriousness of the situation. Reducing the CO2 emissions produced by fossil energy seems to be one of the main worldwide technological ...

Linear Mechatronic Modeling of Rectangular Tank Sloshing Dynamics

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sloshing dynamics in partially filled tanks can strongly influence system‐level behavior when fluid motion couples with rigid‐body dynamics. This paper presents a linear and acausal two‐dimensional sloshing model for rectangular tanks, based on the reformulation of established sloshing theory within a modular, multi‐domain modeling framework ...

USAID's Locally‐Led Development Agenda: Open Government and Independent Monitoring

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT USAID's ambitious localization agenda between 2021–2024—suspended in early 2025—aimed to provide more funding for local organizations, strengthen local systems, and co‐create with local communities. This study uses pre‐2025 open government data to identify continuity and change during USAID’s localization push.

Reflections on Comparative Teaching in Public Administration

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article integrates our scholarly experience of teaching comparative public administration. In doing so, we offer a unique perspective as the co‐authors carry several diverse attributes, among them their countries of origin, current country in which they are teaching, and their academic experience.

Digital fire technologies and community networks: Cultivating just sociotechnical practices for living with planetary change

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

A Numerical Wave Tank Using a Hybrid Particle-mesh Approach

, 2017
In this work the feasibility of a numerical wave tank using a hybrid particle-mesh method is investigated. Based on the Fluid Implicit Particle Method (FLIP) a generic formulation for the hybrid method is presented for incompressible multi-phase flows ...

Building capacity in vector‐borne plant virus research: The CONNECTED Network

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant viruses spread by insects decimate crop yields globally, causing food security challenges in vulnerable areas, including regions of Africa. Interdisciplinary research is needed to protect future crop supplies. CONNECTED, the Community Network for African Vector‐Borne Plant Viruses, increased research capacity in Central, East, West and Southern ...
