Abstract: The tension resistance of conventionally constructed wood‐frame walls was determined experimentally in a pilot study. A series of tests was performed using a combination of gypsum board, foam, and plywood as sheathing ...

Abstract: An automated nonintrusive image analysis method is used to measure the settling velocity of particles and characterize their geometric properties using a fractal approach. A range of suspension characteristics is represented ...

Abstract: The possible influence of double-diffusive stratification on the vertical transport of salt and heat in a mixed-layer simulation model for a salt gradient solar pond is examined. The study is ...

Abstract: The flow field development associated with the injection of negatively, neutrally, and positively buoyant fluid layers into a stratified environment was analyzed in this study. The analysis ...

Abstract: A model is proposed for calculating surface reaeration flux for dissolved oxygen (DO) calculations in a river. It is based on a two-film approach, where film thickness is estimated from turbulent length scale and diffusivity ...
