Abstract: One of the characters of urbanization is that cities develop spatially. The harmful effects of urban heat island put a burden on environmental preservation, energy saving, and thermal comfort. ...

Abstract: A Rankine source method with a continuous desingularized free surface source panel distribution is developed to solve numerically a wave–body interaction problem with nonlinear boundary conditions. A body undergoes forced ...

Abstract: A linear analysis method was used to investigate the instability behavior of a viscoelastic liquid sheet moving through a viscous gas bounded by two horizontal parallel flat plates. The liquid sheet velocity profile was ...

Abstract: With the limited resources for disaster prevention and reduction, it is crucial that a flooding disaster hazard level is established. Therefore, this study establishes the flooding disaster indicator (FDI), which serves ...

Abstract: To elucidate the frost heaving mechanism of subgrade, as well as reduce cracking, subsidence, and mudding due to water freezing and thawing in seasonally frozen regions, temperature sensors were embedded in the subgrade ...

Abstract: Solar radiation is one of the most important factors affecting climate and the environment. Routine measurements of irradiance are valuable for climate change research because of long time series and areal coverage. In ...

Abstract: Algorithm library plays an important role in digital instrument control system. In the design process, software testing and safety verification are focused on safety and reliability of the algorithm library. The configured ...

Abstract: Analytical method has many merits over numerical iteration procedures in calculating the lateral bearing capacity of rigid single pile due to high efficiency and low computational cost. With consideration of the complexity ...
