Abstract: The exact solitary wave solution to the Boussinesq equations, which was given in an implicit integral form, is further studied in the present note. Through numerical curve fitting, an explicit closed-form empirical solution ...

Abstract: In this paper, a preexisting higher-order depth-integrated wave propagation model is extended to include a moving seabed. As a result, the extended model can be applied to both wave propagation and the dynamic process of ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the fundamental behavior of long water waves propagating through branching channels of uniform depth and width. Numerical simulations based on the Boussinesq long wave model were carried out to ...

Abstract: A comprehensive equation to determine the rate of local entropy generation in multicomponent, reacting, laminar fluid flow involving heat and mass transfer is formulated based on species-average ...

Abstract: Capillary instability of a liquid film on a wire in another fluid (gas or liquid) is investigated. The liquid film is found to be unstable whenever the wavelength of the surface disturbance ...

Abstract: In this paper we discuss teaching fluid mechanics to civil and environmental engineering majors at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Fluid mechanics is a key course in environmental engineering that ties together ...

Abstract: This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of the effects of different fault plane parameters on earthquake generated tsunamis in the far field. The parameters studied include the location of epicenter, rake angle, dip ...

Abstract: Arteries can be considered as layered composite material. Experimental data on the stiffness of human atherosclerotic carotid arteries and their media and adventitia layers are very limited. This study used uniaxial tests ...
