Abstract: The dynamics of a storage tunnel is examined using a model based on on-line measured data and a combination of simple deterministic and black-box stochastic elements. This approach, called gray-box modeling, is a new ...

Abstract: A 2-parameter forecasting model which includes the effects of vertical vorticity advection and turning of the vortex tubes is briefly described. Contributions of the above-mentioned terms are discussed and an example is ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental and numerical investigation of the mixing of stratified flow around bridge pier structures. In this study, which was carried out in connection with the Fehmarnbelt Fixed ...

Abstract: A study is made of the possibility of associating certain characteristics of the weather situation at 1500 GMT with the occurrence of tornadoes within a specified area during the succeeding 12 hours. The parameters selected ...

Abstract: One of the accepted approaches for postpeak finite-element modeling of RC comprises combining plain concrete, reinforcement, and interaction behaviors. In these, the postpeak strain–softening behavior of plain concrete is ...

Abstract: A mixed landscape irrigation study was conducted on 27 residential sites in Las Vegas to quantify water savings associated with satellite irrigation controllers. Seventeen sites were equipped with evapotranspiration-based ...
