RISNumerical Model for Wave-Induced Scour below a Submarine Pipeline
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A vertical two-dimensional numerical model for local scour beneath an offshore pipeline exposed to waves is developed in this study. Waves are modeled as sinusoidally oscillatory flows, and the phase-resolved velocity field ...
Study of Factors Influencing Quality of Life through Matches between Demand and Satisfaction of Cultural Services in Urban Parks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Quality of life is increasingly a concern for city dwellers, and it is widely accepted that it can bring benefits to urban developments. As the only natural element in modern cities, urban parks can provide cultural services ...
Simulation of Shallow Flows in Nonuniform Open Channels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new formulation of the 2D shallow water equations, based on which a numerical model (referred to as NewChan) is developed for simulating complex flows in nonuniform open ...
Recent Developments in Biotransport
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the past ten years, one has seen rapid advancements in heat and mass transport applications in biology and medicine. The research activities have been shifted from fundamental development ...
A Characteristic Based Constitutive Law for Dispersed Fibers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biological tissues are typically constituted of dispersed fibers. Modeling the constitutive laws of such tissues remains a challenge. Direct integration over all fibers is considered to be accurate but requires very expensive ...
Flood Simulation Using a Well-Balanced Shallow Flow Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work extends and improves a one-dimensional shallow flow model to two-dimensional (2D) for real-world flood simulations. The model solves a prebalanced formulation of the fully 2D shallow water equations, including ...
Research on China’s Urban Development Strategy Based on Arable Land Preservation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies the trend of urbanization in China, examines the evolution of the urban scale structure in China through the development of a quadratic regression model for the urban rank-size rule and significantly ...
An Integrating Velocity–Azimuth Process Single-Doppler Radar Wind Retrieval Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Among the single-Doppler radar wind analysis methods, the velocity?azimuth display (VAD), velocity?azimuth process (VAP), and uniform-wind (UW) methods are widely used because of their simplicity. This paper shows that the ...
Flexural Durability of Seawater Coral Aggregate Concrete Beams Reinforced with Basalt FRP Bars
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in coral aggregate concrete (CAC) structures is a new solution to the shortage of construction materials on islands and reefs far from the mainland and to the ...
