Intermittency is an ubiquitous property of fully developed turbulence, for Eulerian and Lagrangian fields, and for velocity, passive and active scalars. Intermittency corresponds to multi-scale high fluctuations, with some underlying long-range correlations. Such property is usually characterized using scaling approaches, verified using...

In a context of energy transition, wind energy is a source of clean energy with the potential of partially satisfying the growing demand. The main problem of this type of energy, and other types of renewable energy remains the discontinuity of the electric power produced in different scales, inducing large fluctuations also called intermittency....

We consider here some scaling and intermittency properties of oceanic turbulence, with a general aim of considering the impact of turbulence on the bio-optical dynamics. For that purpose, we tried two different approaches, using in situ and satellite data. For the in situ study we adopted one dimensional and for the satellite two dimensional...

This paper presents a visibility analysis tool for 3D urban environments and its possible applications for urban design practice. Literature exists for performing visibility analysis using various methods and techniques, however, tools that result from such research are generally not suitable for use by designers in practice. Our visibility...

Based on the description of a conceptual framework for the representation of planning problems on various scales, we introduce an evolutionary design optimization system. This system is exemplified by means of the generation of street networks with locally defined properties for centrality. We show three different scenarios for planning...

This paper introduces a new experimental city generation, assembly and development platform, the urban mutations platform. We describe in detail a methodology for modeling urban systems and their dynamics, based on self-organization principles. The urban area is seen as an organism comprised of different “body parts”, the urban subunits. Upon...

This paper presents an approach for microclimate aware densification of urban areas by creating best practices for an in situ application for block-size urban developments. The discussed procedure generates and evaluates urban block types according to microclimate criteria by integrating climate and comfort parameters in the design process of...

Communication is key to change consumption behaviour. Consumers’ information activities are mainly applied to influence the private consumption at an individual level. Empowerment at the individual level can be achieved through the provision of possibilities for acquiring a sense of competence and self-determination. Moreover, by convincing...

Stray currents are known to promote corrosion of nearby metallic structures. Electrolysis is the responsible phenomenon. Where currents enter the metallic structure, the latter is protected. The construction corrodes at the location where currents exit through the ground to be collected by the substation. The extent of such corrosion has until...
