Sand wave dynamics: Bedform analysis and dredging strategy design for South Channel, Melbourne, Australia

The study into sand wave dynamics in South Channel has commenced after large dune forms were observed in monitoring campaigns following the channel deepening project of the Port of Melbourne. The project involved deepening of the harbour berths and channels, but more importantly, it involved the deepening of South Channel in Port Phillip Bay....

Delft3D-FLOW Model of the Yangon Port Area

Large sedimentation is observed in the Yangon port area in Myanmar and this sediment is blocking the entrance channel into the port. The entrance channel is dredged intensively to keep it navigable but insight into the sedimentation processes is limited. The sedimented area rises above the water level in dry season and is known as the Inner Bar....

Development of a Parametric 3D Turbomachinery Blade Modeler

Nowadays Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power systems are of paramount importance to exploit waste heat and renewable energy sources. Standard design rules and empirical models are mostly available for steam/gas turbines and can not be directly applied for ORC. Because of this, a redefinition of the design strategy is needed, starting from the...
