Abstract: The design of district metered areas (DMAs) has many factors to be considered to reduce the adverse effect of the closure of valves. A three-step methodology for DMA design is proposed based on spectral clustering algorithm ...

Abstract: The static thermoelastic mixed boundary value problem is studied, the one modeling a heat source and a heat sink acting in an infinite plane that contains a partially debonded rigid elliptic inclusion. By employing the ...

Abstract: This research demonstrates an application of artificial neural networks (ANN) for watershed-runoff and stream-flow forecasts. A watershed runoff prediction model was developed to predict stormwater runoff at a gauged ...

Abstract: Super long-span bridges offer great convenience, but, because of their high decks, they also suffer from traffic safety problems related to strong winds. In this paper, large eddy simulation and dynamic mesh techniques for ...

Abstract: In this article, a practical analytical method for prediction of the postconstruction settlement of high embankments is proposed through the further simplification of the one-dimensional creep deformation algorithm under ...

Abstract: A combination process of biofiltration, conventional treatment, catalytic ozonation and upflow biological activated carbon (BAC) is adopted for treating micropolluted raw water in Guanjinggang waterworks in China, and the ...
