      Fidaros, D. K.; Baxevanou, C. A.; Bartzanas, T.; Kittas, C. (2010)
      In the present study the transport phenomena occurring inside a ventilated arc type tunnel greenhouse are simulated during a solar day taking into account the optical properties of plants only in the photosynthetic active ...
    • A parametric study of a solar calcinator using computational fluid dynamics 

      Fidaros, D. K.; Baxevanou, C. A.; Vlachos, N. S. (2007)
      In this work a horizontal rotating solar calcinator is studied numerically using computational fluid dynamics. The specific solar reactor is a 10 kW model designed and used for efficiency studies. The numerical model is ...
    • A parametric study of the aeroelastic behaviour of wind turbine blades in classical flutter 

      Baxevanou, C. A.; Chaviaropoulos, P. K.; Vlachos, N. S. (2006)
      A parametric study of the aeroelastic behaviour of a wind turbine blade 'typical section' in classical flutter is presented, using a new numerical model. The aerodynamic loads are computed by solving the RANS equations ...
    • A review on ergonomics of headgear: Thermal effects 

      Bogerd, C. P.; Aerts, J. M.; Annaheim, S.; Brode, P.; de Bruyne, G.; Flouris, A. D.; Kuklane, K.; Mayor, T. S.; Rossi, R. M. (2015)
      The thermal effects related to wearing headgear are complex and different studies have investigated single parts of this topic. This review aims at summarizing the different findings to give a complete overview on this ...
    • Solar radiation distribution in a tunnel greenhouse 

      Baxevanou, C.; Bartzanas, T.; Fidaros, D.; Kittas, C. (2008)
      A commercial computational fluid dynamics code was used in order to investigate numerically the effect of solar radiation in an arc type tunnel greenhouse equipped with continuous side vents with a tomato crop. For the ...
