Portuguese airport efficiency analysis: the case study of Oporto

The Oporto Airport located in the northern region in Porto city is crucial because is the only one located in the northern region. This airport had an increasing in number of passengers, sales revenue and accumulated investment during the last two decades, principally after the introduction and the operation of the Low Cost Companies since 2004 to the present. In order to determine if the last changes had an impact in the competitiveness of this airport, the main aims is to analise the evolution of values of the technical efficiency and equate the results before and after the introduction of the LCCs in this airport. The methodology uses the Data Envelopment Analysis. Results show that the Oporto Airport efficiency increases highly after the introduction of LCCs since 2004. The main conclusions suggest the importance of the introduction of LCCs in the increasing efficiency of the Oporto Airport and the potential relation with tourism development in this region, but more strong studies are needed.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF A CONCEPTUAL WATERJET PROPULSOR BASED ON THE COANDA EFFECT

This work is part of a research project conceived at the Federal University of Rio Grande. The project aims to create and develop mechanical devices that use the Coanda effect to enhance their overall efficiency. The focus herein is analyzing the physical phenomenon occurring in a conceptual water-jet propulsor. In the proposed concept, a water-jet propulsor has its impeller replaced by injectors that produce the so-called Coanda effect, increasing thereby the mass flow rate. In order to simulate the flow through the propulsor, a numerical model was developed. In this model the time-averaged conservation equations of mass and momentum were solved numerically by the finite volume method, more precisely with the commercial package ANSYS FLUENT (version 14.0). For the closure of the constitutive equations, the k-ω URANS turbulence model was employed. The simulation was performed for a transient state with a timestep of ∆t = 1×10-3 s and a total physical time of t = 6.0 s. Static pressure fields, streamlines and speed profiles are used to analyze the equipment performance and the phenomenon occurrence. The results show that the Coanda Effect is able to generate thrust in a waterjet propulsion device without impeller. The study suggests that the employment of this principle has promising applicability in marine propulsion and deserves attention on future works
