Tidal current energy chart – Messina Strait
Energy & ResourcesGetting Started The Strait of Messina, located between the Italian mainland and the island of Sicily, is known for its strong tidal currents. These powerful currents have attracted considerable attention as a potential source of renewable energy. Tidal energy, also known as marine hydrokinetic energy, harnesses the kinetic energy generated by the movement of ocean
Is COMSOL Multiphysics good for subduction CFD modelling? Are there alternatives?
Geology & LandformGetting Started Subduction, the process by which one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, is a complex phenomenon with significant implications for Earth science research. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling plays a critical role in understanding the dynamics of subduction zones and related processes. A software package commonly used for such modeling is COMSOL Multiphysics.

Exploring the Potential: Can Filling Empty Lowlands with Ocean Water Reduce Global Sea Levels?
Water BodiesUnderstanding Global Sea Level Rise Global sea level rise is a pressing issue driven primarily by two factors: the thermal expansion of seawater due to rising temperatures and the melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets. The consequences of sea level rise are far-reaching, including increased coastal erosion, inundation of low-lying areas,
