We extend the model by DeGrauwe and Grimaldi (2006, EER) by currency transaction taxes. This model explains the exchange rate behavior by the interaction of heterogeneous traders who display either trend chasing behavior or rely on a return of the exchange rate back to its arbitrage free...

In general, complex and large dimensional models are needed to solve real economic problems. Due to these characteristics, there is either no analytical solution for them or they are not attainable. As a result, solutions can be only obtained through numerical methods. Thus, the growing...

Many advances have been made during the last decade in the development and application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), numerical weather modeling, and other numerical methods as applied to the wind energy industry. The current information about this area of...

As the tidal current industry grows, power extraction from tidal sites has received widespread attention. In this paper, a blade element actuator disk model that is coupled with the blade element method and a three-dimensional Navier–Stokes code is developed to analyse the relationship between...

This paper presents a numerical study of the savonius type direct drive turbine incorporated in the rear bottom of typical chamber geometry of an oscillating water column chamber (OWC) for wave energy conversion. The paper deals with a numerical modelling devoted to investigate the effect of...

The runner blade of a propeller turbine has a complex profile and an uneven thickness, which causes severe and unpredictable problems during the manufacture procedure. This paper describes the manufacture procedure which includes advance computer solidification simulation, lost wax casting...

This paper presents and optimizes the annual heating, cooling and lighting energy consumption associated with applying different types and properties of window systems in a building envelope. Through using building simulation modeling, various window properties such as U-value, solar heat gain...
