Abstract: Gravitational settling regimes, most commonly discrete (Type I) or flocculent (Type II) can be hindered (Type III) in unmaintained urban drainage appurtenances. In coastal zones or in areas with deicing salt applications, ...

Abstract: Settling velocity is an important constitutive parameter of particulate matter (PM) transported by runoff. Settling velocity is either explicitly or implicitly utilized when designing or modeling unit operations, and in ...

Abstract: This study examines in situ phosphorus treatment using a combined unit operation and process, a volumetric clarifying filter (VCF). Urban rainfall-runoff transports phosphorus in dissolved and particulate phases with the ...

Abstract: As a unit operation, filtration generally requires flow equalization and primary clarification. This study examines the separation of runoff particulate matter (PM) in a volumetric clarifying filter (VCF). The VCF is a ...

Abstract: Pervious pavement (PP) is an infrastructure material that can alter rainfall-runoff relationships, filter particulate matter (PM), and sequester runoff constituents. Beyond a measure of total porosity (

Abstract: The present study is intended to develop a new method for analyzing nonlinear stochastic dynamic response of the Preisach hysteretic systems based on covariance and switching probability analysis ...

Abstract: A strategy for optimal nonlinear stochastic control of hysteretic systems with parametrically and/or externally random excitations is proposed and illustrated with an example of a single-degree-of-freedom system. A hysteretic ...
