Van Lanen

Summary: Human activities both aggravate and alleviate streamflow drought, with water abstraction being the dominant aggravating factor and water transfers effectively reducing drought. Reservoir releases can alleviate drought in dry season but change flow seasonality. Land use has a smaller impact, with both positive and negative effects observed.

Assessment of phosphorus loading dynamics in a tropical reservoir with high seasonal water level changes

Iran E. Lima Neto, Pedro H. A. Medeiros, Alexandre C. Costa, Mario C. Wiegand, Antonio Ricardo M. Barros, Mario U. G. Barros

Summary: This study simulated and modeled phosphorus loading in tropical reservoirs, finding that internal phosphorus load dominates during the wet season and increases with reservoir age. By adjusting the model structure, the simulation accuracy of phosphorus concentration was improved.

Influence of hydroclimatic variability on dengue incidence in a tropical dryland area

Alexandre C. Costa, Ticiane F. Gomes, Rafaella P. Moreira, Tahissa F. Cavalcante, George L. Mamede

Summary: This study found that hydroclimatic variability influences dengue incidence, with seasonal DI being impacted by precipitation and temperature. Precipitation and minimum air temperature were identified as the main explanatory variables in the model, with a two-month lagged predictor playing an important role. While GLS regressions were able to reproduce the beginning, development, and end of the dengue season, there were limitations in accurately predicting DI peaks and low DI levels.

Predicting Linearised Wind Resource Grids using Neural Networks

Helen Sheehan, Elizabeth Traiger, Daniel Poole, Lars Landberg

Summary: Modelling the flow over terrain is crucial for wind resource assessment and this study presents a new data-driven approach to predict wind speed and direction changes caused by orography. The findings show promising results and could potentially lead to the development of a fully data-driven CFD wind resource model.

Implementation of a generalized actuator disk model into WRF v4.3: A validation study for a real-scale wind turbine

Baris Kale, Sophia Buckingham, Jeroen van Beeck, Alvaro Cuerva-Tejero

Summary: A validation study is conducted to test the performance of a generalized actuator disk model (GAD) implemented into a numerical weather prediction code in simulating the aerodynamic behavior of a real-scale wind turbine under varying atmospheric conditions. Multiple large-eddy simulations (LESs) are performed using the GAD model to calculate wind turbine-induced forces and validate against benchmarks and experimental data.

Curled-Skewed Wakes behind Yawed Wind Turbines Subject to Veered Inflow

Mohammadreza Mohammadi, Majid Bastankhah, Paul Fleming, Matthew Churchfield, Ervin Bossanyi, Lars Landberg, Renzo Ruisi

Summary: This research presents a new engineering analytical model that predicts the effect of turbine yaw misalignment and inflow wind veer on wake flow distribution. Two methods are examined to consider the veered inflow, with the second method being more realistic by accounting for wind veer on wind velocity direction and yaw angle. The results demonstrate that the two methods provide similar outputs for small variations in wind direction, but the difference becomes more evident with an increase in wind veer. High-fidelity simulations were used to validate the model predictions.

Eigenanalysis of vector autoregressive model for optimal fitting of a predefined cross power spectral density matrix: Application to numeric generation of stationary homogeneous isotropic/anisotropic turbulent wind fields

Mohanad Elagamy, Cristobal Gallego-Castillo, Alvaro Cuerva-Tejero, Oscar Lopez-Garcia, Sergio Avila-Sanchez

Summary: In this study, a novel approach is proposed to optimize the calibration parameters of a vector autoregressive model for synthetic generation of turbulent wind fields. The approach is based on eigenanalysis of the companion matrix of the vector autoregressive model. The cross-power spectral density matrix for different turbulent wind conditions is considered as targets and compared with existing approaches for calibration of vector autoregressive model parameters, discussing the implications of determining the vector autoregressive model in the frequency or time domain.

A Genetic Algorithm-Based Approach to Support Forming Multiple Scrum Project Teams

Alexandre Costa, Felipe Ramos, Mirko Perkusich, Ademar De Sousa Neto, Luiz Silva, Felipe Cunha, Thiago Rique, Hyggo Almeida, Angelo Perkusich

Summary: Forming effective teams for multiple projects is a challenging task, known as the Multiple Team Formation problem. Existing solutions do not work well for Scrum projects. Therefore, we developed a two-step approach, including a Structured Task Model and a Genetic Algorithm, to form teams for target projects. Our approach achieved high precision and acceptance rate, indicating the potential of providing teams close to project managers' expectations. The Structured Task Model also offers a promising way to build technical profiles for Scrum developers.
