Abstract: In typical reservoir a sediment layer of considerable depth may be deposited on top of exposed bedrock foundation. The effect of sediment on the dissipation and damping of earthquake induced hydrodynamic waves is by and ...

Abstract: Frenkel was a brilliant Russian physicist who made fundamental contributions to the theory of liquid, the theory of metal, the drop theory, defects in crystals, and excitons, among many other subjects in physics, astronomy, ...

Abstract: The boundary integral equation method is formulated to calculate hydrodynamic pressures in a reservoir Impounded by a dam and subject to horizontal ground vibrations. The dam is assumed to be either a rigid body or a thin ...

Abstract: An object-oriented Pumping-Test Expert System (PTES) is developed to assist hydrogeologists in the interpretation of pumping tests and the filing of technical reports. PTES features user-friendly, menu-driven, English/French ...

Abstract: This paper presents a singular integral equation technique for solving dynamic poroelasticity problems. The poroelastic governing equations are presented using total stress variables instead of the partial stress ones in ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of drawdown prediction to the uncertainty in estimating the hydraulic properties of multiple leaky aquifer systems is studied by first-order sensitivity analysis. A new set of dimensionless parameters is ...

Abstract: During Hurricane Katrina, overtopping water caused erosion and subsequent failure of several sections of I-type flood walls in New Orleans. Erosion stemmed from the kinetic energy of water falling from the top of the flood ...
