Numerical analysis of the flow field and cross section design implications in a...
Maslov, Dmytro; Pereira, E. N. B.; Duarte, Duarte; Miranda, Tiago F. S.; Ferreira, Vasco; Tieppo, Marcos; Cruz, Fábio; Johnson, JessicaNowadays, multifunctional artificial reefs are integrated in coastal areas all around the world. The design of such structures is currently complex and subjective. In this context, it is essential to improve overall design approaches to more effectively relate artificial reef geometry, function and optimal performance to specific deployment sites. Part of the solution to this challenge may lie in the use of in ...

Experimental testing and CFD modelling for prototype design of innovative Artif...
Maslov, Dmytro; Johnson, J.; Pereira, E. N. B.; Duarte, D.; Miranda, Tiago F. S.; Lima, M. M. C. L.; Cruz, Fábio Quintas; Valente, Isabel B.This research aims to provide insight on the experimental results obtained induring hydraulic flume channel testing of a multifunctional artificial reef (MFAR) prototype employing various turbulence models and discretization schemes for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical simulations. The recently developed Multifunctional Artificial Reef is believed to be an effective tool to support marine ecosystem ...
Experimental characterization of the scour of innovative artificial reef protot...
Cruz, F.; Pereira, E. N. B.; Lima, M. M. C. L.; Johnson, J.; Duarte, D.; Valente, Isabel B.; Miranda, Tiago F. S.; Maslov, Dmytro; Pinheiro, M.This paper describes an experimental study of an innovative Multifunctional Artificial Reef geometry, as part of the decision framework for its planning, design, construction, and installation. The aim is to experimentally assess the scour phenomenon and the hydrodynamic behaviour of a small-scale multifunctional artificial reef prototype (PMFAR) in a noncohesive bed of sediment. Hydraulic flume tests and a pho...
From decision-making to Oceans Accounts: a case study
Pinheiro, Marisa Mota; Miranda, Tiago F. S.; Ferreira, Vasco; Pereira, E. N. B.; Valente, Isabel B.; Cruz, Fábio Quintas; Maslov, DmytroEarth systems are nowadays on the verge of radical disruptions, whether due to unprecedented demographic pressures or as a result of the current complexity of global systems. Climate Changes, ecosystems unbalances, natural resources depletion, pollution, extreme events, natural catastrophes, humanized overpopulated environments, as well as economical turbulences, represent more than ever, very uncertain terms o...
