In the last few decades, hydropower production has been moving toward a new paradigm of low and diffused power density production of energy with small and mini-hydro plants, which usually do not require significant water storage. In the case of nominal p...

Modelling the presence and the effect of a thin weak layer of soil or rock in a slope stability analysis performed through the finite element method (FEM) presents several problems of purely numerical nature. This paper deals with a parametric analysis o...

The energy absorption capacity of materials with negative Poisson?s ratio (NPR) is attracting interest from both industry and academia due to the excellent impact resistance of the local shrinkage of materials. However, understanding the compressive beha...

Urban tunnelling can be highly challenging, especially in areas where limited ground settlements and environmental disturbance is required. Mechanised tunnelling is usually preferred in such ground environments, specifically Slurry or EPBM (Earth Pressur...

In this contribution, an unsteady numerical simulation of the flow in a microfluidic oscillator has been performed. The transient turbulent flow inside the device is described by the Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier?Stokes equations (URANS) coupled with...

The underground silo was constructed as a facility for the disposal of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste. It is divided into three parts: the upper-dome core, the lower-dome core, and the cylindrical-space core. Numerical parametric studies o...

This paper aims to establish an approach of power bookkeeping in a numerical study. To study the process of power conversion coursed in the flow field, the methodology employs a power-based analysis to quantify power terms. This approach is examined in a...
