Abstract: The success of engineering and construction projects is often compromised by adversarial relationships, conflict and distrust among members of the project (the stakeholders). Too often these problems become convoluted and ...

Abstract: A simple method is presented for evaluating wall shear stresses from known flow histories in unsteady pipe flows. The method builds on previous work by Trikha, but has two important differences. One of these enables the ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effect of electromagnetic (EM) waves—with minimal heat generation—on transport mechanisms to improve soil/groundwater cleanup. This effect was experimentally examined for the transport of a nonreactive ...

Abstract: An exact method of assessing numerical errors in analyses of unsteady flows in pipe networks is introduced. The assessment is valid for fixed-grid method of characteristics analyses using time-line interpolations. A pipe ...
