Abstract: A lattice Boltzmann method is developed for the solution of the advection and anisotropic dispersion equation. In the approach, a novel local equilibrium distribution function is formulated to ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional shallow-water flow equations are first written in strong conservation form and are used for developing the flow model. In the discretization equations, based on the control volume method, the velocity ...

Abstract: Cooling of commercial buildings contributes significantly to the peak demand placed on an electrical utility grid. Time-of-use electricity rates encourage shifting of electrical loads to off-peak ...

Abstract: Shear wave velocity

Abstract: Right turn plus U-turn at median openings as an alternative to direct left turn has been considered important issue in access management. The motivation behind using this strategy comes from the consideration of safety as ...

Abstract: Liquefaction of granular soil deposits is one of the major causes of loss resulting from earthquakes. The accuracy of the liquefaction potential assessment at a site affects the safety and economy of an engineering project. ...

Abstract: In-flight measurement of shear-wave velocity (

Abstract: In-flight measurement of shear-wave velocity (Vs) in centrifuge model test is important for real-time characterization and has multiple engineering applications. Accurate measurement of Vs by bender elements (BE) in ...

Abstract: Liquefaction of natural deposited sand-like gravelly soils has been widely reported in past earthquakes. Assessing the liquefaction resistance (CRR) of sand-like gravelly soils in a cost-effective and reliable way raises ...
