Towards climate adaptation: a case study of a Coastal City in Portugal
Aelenei, Laura Elena; Viana, Susana; Simões, Teresa; Amorim, Filipa; Simoes, Sofia; Barbosa, Juliana Pacheco; Justino, Paulo AlexandreABSTRACT: The present study focuses on the use of complementary numerical tools to support the development of a climate neutrality roadmap for Cascais, a coastal Portuguese city and one of the nine pilot cities in the Re-Value project. The results contribute to refining the roadmap and updating Cascais' long-term Territorial Transformation Plans to accelerate its journey to climate neutrality by 2050. For this,...

Incorporating the influence of risk factor interdependencies and shared risk fa...
Mican, C.; Fernandes, G.; Araújo, Maria Madalena Teixeira deThe project portfolio expected results are generally affected or influenced by the materialization of risk factors. Therefore, risk management plays an undeniable role in the decision-making process. Project portfolio risk assessment is oriented to provide information on the importance of risks, giving decision-makers the information to support their risk management strategies. In this paper, the 'Impact Matrix...

An open-source framework for the computer aided design of complex profile extru...
Rajkumar, Ananth; Ferrás, L. L.; Fernandes, G.; Carneiro, O. S.; Sacramento, A.; Nóbrega, J. M.This work presents a new design procedure for improving the flow distribution in complex profile extrusion dies. The proposed approach is based on open source software and aims to motivate both academics and industrials to consider numerical methodologies in their future developments. A new solver was implemented in OpenFOAM computational library in order to model the steady non-isothermal flow of inelastic flu...
Halting the fuse discharge propagation using optical fiber microwires
Rocha, A. M.; Fernandes, G.; Domingues, F.; Niehus, Manfred; Pinto, A. N.; Facão, M.; André, P. S.We report and analyze the halting of the fuse effect propagation in optical fiber microwires. The increase of the mode field diameter in the tapered region decreases the optical intensity resulting in the extinction of the fuse effect. This fiber element presents a low insertion loss and can be introduced in the optical network in order to protect the active equipment from the damage caused by the fuse effect.
