In wind erosion modelling and assessment, wind speed is a crucial variable. Available records for large regions of the world generally show relatively low temporal resolution. The effect of using wind data of different ...

The results of an experimental study on the oxygen transfer across the air-water interface under the combined effect of wind and mechanically generated waves are presented in the paper. The experiments were carried out in ...

Broiler production in Brazil has turned into a very competitive activity in the late years. Constant innovation leads to higher productivity maintaining the same cost of production, which is a desirable situation. Lately ...

This paper discusses some features and conditions that characterize the Zonda wind, focusing particularly on the implications for wind engineering applications. This kind of wind, typical of mountainous regions, is far ...

In this paper, we study investment decisions regarding power generation and transmission when considering wind speed distortions due to Climate Change. We use a Mixed-Integer Linear Program (MILP) model to analyze the ...

Incentives for using wind power and the increasing price of energy might generate in a relatively short time a scenario where low voltage customers opt to install roof-top wind turbines. This paper focuses on evaluating ...
