A New Theory for Solving Turbulent Vortices in Flowing Fluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Turbulent vortices occur everywhere in flowing fluids and possess the properties of dissipation and dispersion. A set of new control equations is presented featuring the interaction between ...
Modeling the Impact of a Falling Rock Cluster on Rigid Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rockfall is a common geological hazard in mountainous areas and can pose great danger to people and properties. Understanding the impact forces induced by a single rock or a rock cluster on retaining structures is considered ...
Bypass Schemes of Urban Transit Station Based on Complex Network Theory
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To study a detour scheme after failure of an urban transit station, an urban transit network model is constructed by considering the reciprocal of urban transit line departure time interval as the weight. In accordance ...
Evaluation on the Capability of Revealing Ocean Swells from Sentinel-1A Wave Spectra Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wave measurements retrieved by Sentinel-1A level-2 ocean (OCN) products are sensitive to swells other than wind seas, and are considered to provide a finer resolution of ocean swells. To assess the capability of swell ...
Performance-Based Transportation and Land Use Integrated Optimization Model with Degradable Capacity and Stochastic Demand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Traditionally, urban land use planning belongs to urban planning and transportation infrastructure construction belongs to transportation planning. However, it is widely recognized that the integrated optimization of urban ...
Insights into the Transport and Fragmentation Characteristics of Earthquake-Induced Rock Avalanche: Numerical Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The earthquake-induced rock avalanche in the Tangjia Valley was the most notable geological disaster triggered by the Lushan earthquake in 2013. In order to investigate the transport kinematics and depositional mechanism ...
