ABSTRACT: Hydrodynamic coefficients are essential parameters in fluid mechanics that serve to quantify the complex interaction between a submerged body and the surrounding fluid . Specifically in the context of submerged spheres, these coefficients provide a measure of the forces and moments exerted by the fluid on the sphere, or conversely, the resistance the sphere encounters as it moves through the fluid . U...
ABSTRACT: 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,...
ABSTRACT: The importance of climate-neutral and smart cities was addressed by the European Commission (EU) through the financing program EU Missions, as a response to the urban and energy challenges to promote innovative solutions and strategies and to deliver tangible results by 2050. To manifest their Expressions of Interest to join the EU Cities Mission, several cities across Europe applied for funding to su...
RESUMO: O Município de Cascais tem vindo a empenhar-se na mitigação das alterações climáticas, na proteção do ambiente e renaturalização de florestas e espaços verdes, no aumento da recolha seletiva e melhoria de processos de tratamento de resíduos, na melhoria da mobilidade, apostando na mobilidade suave combinada com zonas intermodais de ligação a transportes públicos, como os comboios e a rede gratuita de au...

Executive Summary: There is a clear need to accelerate the energy transition, including the implementation of renewable electricity production plants, as well as the increase in consumption of other renewable energy carriers in buildings, industry, transport and other sectors. This work provides key information to make this transition possible, that is, the technical renewable energy potentials for Portugal. Th...
ABSTRACT: The main objective of this work is the characterization of the wave/wind induced oscillations on the power performance of the wind turbine operating on a WindFloat floating system. To assess the potential impact on the wind turbine power performance induced by these oscillations, the nacelle movements of the WindFloat wind turbine were monitored using accelerometer sensors synchronized with : 1) metoc...
RESUMO: As energias renováveis marinhas (Offshore) apresentam um grande potencial de exploração em Portugal, por um lado devido à situação geográfica do país, com a sua área extensa de costa e uma das maiores zonas económicas exclusivas – e por outro, pelos indicadores de existência de elevado recurso energético, cujo estudo tem vindo a ser efetuado nos últimos anos. Não obstante esses estudos, persistem várias...
