Numerical simulation of exterior condensations on façades: The undercooling phenomenon

This manuscript presents a brief state-of-the-art on the development and application of hygrothermal analysis methods tosimulate the coupled transport processes of heat and moisture for one or multidimensional cases.This work intends to apply existing numerical models of exterior boundary conditions&#...

CFD based evaluation of the serviceability conditions of a cable stayed bridge under wind load

This paper presents a new methodology for the analysis of serviceability limit states of vibrationscaused by wind action on slender structures, based on the appropriate conjugation of an algorithm ofComputational Fluid Dynamics (Control Volume Method) with an algorithm of linear or geometric...

Test coverage analysis of UML state machines

Software testing is a very important activity of the software development process. To expedite the testing process and improve the quality of the tests, models are increasingly used as a basis to derive test cases automatically - a technique known as model-based testing (MBT). ...

Probabilistic Evaluation of Reserve Requirements of Generating Systems With Renewable Power Sources: The Portuguese and Spanish Cases

This paper presents an application of probabilistic methodologies to evaluate the reserve requirements ofgenerating systems with a large penetration of renewable energy sources. The idea is to investigate thebehavior of reliability indices, including those from the well-being analysis, when the m...
