numerical simulation of the interaction of a broken wave and a vertical breakwater
in this paper, a two-dimensional reynolds averaged navier-stokes (rans) model is developed to simulate the shoaling, breaking and overtopping of a solitary wave over a vertical breakwater. turbulence intensity is described by using a k turbulence closure model and the free surface configuration is tracked by volume of fluid (vof) technique. to validate the numerical model the simulation result...
متن کاملOptimal Design of a Hybrid Wind-Photovoltaic-Hydroelectric Electricity Generating System in the Presence of Battery Storage: GSO Algorithm
In this study, we will investigate the possibility of using renewable energy resources in area where electrical energy is not supported. We will consider it as a micro-grid and we will try to supply its electrical energy by decreasing cost and having reliability in system. Generally, the main reason of designing and developing of distribution grid is responsible to growth of electrical consumpt...
متن کاملHas Restructuring Improved Operating Efficiency at US Electricity Generating Plants?
This paper assesses whether impending electricity industry restructuring in an investor-owned utility’s home state encourages the utility to improve efficiency at its generating plants. Under costplus regulation, utilities have little incentive to reduce operating costs since they can pass them directly to ratepayers. Restructuring programs increase utilities’ exposure to competitive markets fo...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Wave Overtopping Over Composite Berm Breakwater
Breakwaters have changed a lot during their design history. Overtopping is an important parameter that its evaluation and reduction has always been noticed. In this study, the wave overtopping of composite berm breakwater as a new conceptual structure has been investigated numerical modeling was performed using FLOW-3D software. Then, based on a laboratory model conducted by Losada et al, cali...
متن کاملGenerating electricity from wastewater treatment.
D uring the past 50 years, wastewater treatment has improved the quality of our navigable waters and the health of our environment. This achievement has not been accomplished without considerable capital investment by our nation, and we know that large expenditures will continue to be needed. It has been estimated that $2 trillion will be needed in the United States alone over the next 20 years...
