Oscillating water column based wave energy extracting system has a low efficiency due to the poor performance of its principal power extracting component, the bidirectional turbine. In the present work, flow over a bidirectional impulse turbine was simulated using CFD technique and optimized...

The complexity of the transportation system calls for a holistic solution approach that employs multiple modeling paradigms such as agent-based modeling and system dynamics. Various techniques for combining these paradigms are explored and logically classified, which helps guide hybrid modeling....

While software simulations in the building technology field are essential for designing efficient systems, for specific applications, the tools currently available are computationally too expensive. This paper presents a novel approach for the fast computation of accurate simulation results and...
