Abstract: Momentum equations expressed in the boundary‐fitted curvilinear coordinate systems have been used in the multidimensional modeling of estuaries and lakes. These equations are analyzed and reviewed with focus on the nonlinear ...

Abstract: Riparian reeds in rivers may be able to remove contaminants such as phosphorus. In this study, a selected river section was surveyed to investigate the effects of riparian reeds on the suspended solids (SS) and total ...

Abstract: An asphalt pavement with gravel base (AP-GB) is used to alleviate the occurrence of reflective cracks. However, its interlaminar stability is affected by the gravel base’s looseness and interlaminar complex contact form. ...

Abstract: In recent years, many cities in China have faced profound and complex shrinkage problems, which have required new perspectives and approaches to improve understanding. In this context, this study built a framework to ...

Abstract: The random field theory is frequently employed to characterize the inherent spatial variability of material properties. In order to incorporate sampled data from site investigations or experiments into simulations, and to ...

Abstract: An attempt was made to couple the water quality model of Danshuei River to the three-dimensional unstructured-grid hydrodynamic model [Eulerian–Lagrangian circulation model (ELCIRC)]. The Eulerian–Lagrangian scheme for the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a tracking control problem of a flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicle with aerodynamic uncertainty. The flight control design is challenging because of heavily coupled propulsive, aerodynamic forces ...

Abstract: The effects of mangrove trees on the flow field in a tidal estuary during high freshwater discharge events are investigated using a depth-averaged two-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The model is refined to include the ...
