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 ...

Decision framework for the design and construction of autonomous artificial reefs
Johnson, JessicaThis thesis focused on the testing and design of an innovative Artificial Reef geometry, as part of the decision framework for the planning, design, construction, placement and subsequent monitoring of a Modular Artificial Reef (MAR). The MAR will be installed off the west coast of Portugal to promote fish biodiversity, increase biomass and to serve as a SCUBA diving point of interest for tourists. Through phys...
