Abstract: The construction efficiency of geothermal tunnels is low, and operating lining problems occur frequently, which critically affect tunnel construction and operational safety. Traditional insulation methods primarily involve ...

Abstract: A tunnel excavation-damaged zone (EDZ) will gradually form with increasing release ratios of displacement (RRD) in the rock mass surrounding a tunnel. This paper presents a study of the longest subway tunnel in China, ...

Abstract: A new and improved method based on the concept of discrete ordinates scheme with infinitely small weights (DOS+ISW) is developed for modeling radiative heat transfer in three-dimensional participating ...

Abstract: Hydrological changes of the Ili River were analyzed concerning the changes of annual runoff and its distribution features within a year measured by coefficient of variation and concentration degree. Abrupt changes were ...

Abstract: Flow complexity, which means the degree of uncertainty or the rate of information production of a flow series, is analyzed for the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Sample entropy (SampEn) is applied to measure flow ...

Abstract: A time-dependent distribution of ratios of energy scattered by the medium or reflected by the boundary surfaces (DRESOR) method was proposed to solve the transient radiative transfer in a ...

Abstract: Reservoirs play an important role in modifying the natural hydrological regime. Reservoir-induced changes in flow fluctuations at monthly and hourly scales were analyzed through a case study of a tributary of the Yangtze ...

Abstract: Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China and is internationally recognized as an important lacustrine and wetland ecosystem with abundant biodiversity. Since 2003, the average lake water level has significantly ...
