Experimental Validation and Applications of a Fluid Infiltration Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Horizontal infiltration experiments were performed to validate a plug flow model that minimizes the number of parameters that must be measured. Water and silicone oil at three different viscosities were infiltrated into ...
Reconstructing Contaminant Deposition in a San Francisco Bay Marina, California
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two sediment cores were collected from a marina in the San Francisco Bay to characterize historical sediment contamination resulting from the direct discharge of industrial wastewater from Naval Air Station Alameda. Depth ...
Buoyant Advection of Gases in Unsaturated Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In unsaturated soil, methane and volatile organic compounds can significantly alter the density of soil gas and induce buoyant gas flow. A series of laboratory experiments was conducted in a two‐dimensional, homogeneous ...
Future Concerns in Environmental Engineering Graduate Education
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Directions for enhancing graduate education in environmental engineering to meet the challenges of the future must consider: (1) Education for versatility and perspective; (2) programmatic issues on research and graduate ...
