Abstract: The stress‐strain response of a granular soil along constant stress increment ratio paths is experimentally investigated for the condition of

Abstract: The finite element analysis to determine stress intensity factors (SIF's) is complex but useful. It is complex due to the stress singularity that exists at the crack tip, which requires a large number of conventional ...

Abstract: With the increase in transport of oil by rail, the probability of oil spills in rivers has increased. Traditionally, focus has been placed on oil slicks moving on the water surface. However, the density of bitumen oil ...

Abstract: A numerical framework was developed to study oil-particle aggregate (OPA) formation by incorporating NEMO3D code and the A-DROP model into an open-source platform, OpenFOAM. The developed framework was then used to study ...

Abstract: The dispersion of oil droplets in rivers was numerically investigated for uniform flow in a hypothetical wide river with a depth of 3.0  m. The river hydrodynamics profile was used in conjunction with the VDROP model to ...

Abstract: Ammonium and nitrate were used as nitrogen sources to support microbial biodegradation of crude oil in continuous-flow beach microcosms to determine whether either nutrient was more effective in open systems, such as ...

Abstract: The preparation of the water-accommodated fraction (WAF) is important for evaluating the toxicity of oil. The Chemical Response to Oil Spills: Ecological Research Forum method, which uses a magnetic stirrer in aspirator ...

Abstract: Postfrontal clouds (PFC) are ubiquitous in the marine boundary layer, and their morphology is essential to estimating the radiation budget in weather and climate models. Here we examine the roles of sea surface temperature ...
