Abstract: Simulation models in conjunction with synthetic multiple hydro-climate replicates provide the most realistic assessment of the performance of urban water supply headworks systems. However, optimization using such models ...

Abstract: A quasisteady approach to friction stir welding (FSW) heat transfer modeling is proposed and implemented using FLUENT . An idealized model of the mechanical dissipation heating in FSW is employed. ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional heat transfer problem pertaining to friction stir welding is developed by converting various pin tool configurations of interest to a simplified pin only configuration by assigning ...

Abstract: Current transformer (CT) is a device that transfers the electrical energy from one circuit to another through a shared magnetic field. In a CT, heat is generated in the core, tank wall, and ...

Abstract: A force field model to simulate turbulent flow over a surface with arbitrary roughness is described. A given roughness is decomposed into resolved and subgrid-scale roughness, conceptually similar ...

Abstract: Evaluating the cyclic strength development using energy-based methods is a novel concept in studying the dynamic properties of sand–clay mixtures under cyclic loading. In this study, a series of undrained cyclic triaxial ...

Abstract: Clinker ash is a byproduct obtained from coal-fired electrical generators. It is a type of recycled granular material with a complex particle shape and large surface roughness. Particle shape descriptors and surface fractal ...

Abstract: Floating breakwaters are recognized as effective wave-attenuation structures for protecting shorelines and marine facilities. However, most common single-row floating breakwaters are unable to effectively attenuate the ...
