Innovative uses of wave power: Environmental management of the port of Ensenada, Mexico

摘要: Over the past century, water and sediments of port Ensenada, Mexico, have accumulated a lot pollution from human activities. Although present day restrictive measures inhibit any further accumulation, existing aggregation in is sufficient to maintain high levels contamination throughout port, despite flushing action tides. A SIBEO (SIBEO an acronym for Spanish SIstema de Bombeo por Energia Oleaje) wave-driven seawater pump recently developed at National University Mexico proposed inject clean oxygen rich outside promote more stagnant sections harbour. Results numerical model hydrodynamics shed light on why tides cannot their own adequately flush system, how will help ventilation. next 4 years, cluster pumps be installed Ensenada breakwater unpolluted various locations port. programme carried out study effects column sediments, this first full-scale application SIBEO.
