Two-Phase Multi-Point Design Exploration of Submerged Nacelles for Marine Propulsive Pump Installation by Filippo Avanzi, Andrea Magrini, Francesco De Vanna

“…Leveraging this property, the present study bridges the gap on the design principles required to tailor ODW geometries across multiple operating conditions. Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations are solved, including turbulence and cavitation models, to draw the propulsor’s characteristic maps and identify two relevant operating points, set by the combination of a specified pump rotational regime with an advancing velocity. …”

Spatial Change of Dominant Baltic Sea Demersal Fish Across Two Decades by Liam MacNeil, Frane Madiraca, Saskia Otto, Marco Scotti

“…These models approach more dynamic species distribution models and are increasingly valuable to constrain uncertainties in biogeographic forecasting which often rely on annually‐averaged response curves, occurrence data, and suitability maps which rarely discriminate between areas of high and low biomass areas in space and time.…”
