Abstract: Previously proposed methods for subgrid-scale (SGS) stress modeling were re-investigated and extended to SGS heat-flux modeling, and various anisotropic and isotropic eddy viscosity/diffusivity models ...

Abstract: The fatigue life of carbon and low alloy steels decreases with reduction in strain rate in high temperature water such as in the case of a light water reactor coolant. The fatigue life ...

Abstract: Vertical propagation of plane acoustic-gravity waves with horizontal wave fronts is discussed using a layer model with realistic temperature structure based on the Cospar International Reference Atmosphere, 1986. Acoustic ...

Abstract: An optimization method is presented for long-span frames for specified seismic responses considering spatial variation of ground motions. The response is evaluated by using a response spectrum approach, where incoherency ...

Abstract: At a T-junction in piping system, hot and cold water mixes in a whirl. The vibrating mixing boundary between the hot and cold water causes a temperature fluctuation on the inner surface of ...

Abstract: Current construction simulation systems need detailed architectural models and schedules in order to estimate costs and visualize the construction process. However, the process of developing a building model, formulating ...

Abstract: Deployable structures composed of hinge joints (revolute joints) with inclined axis have a potential to realize a rich variety of deformation with a small number of members, which enables it to be lightweight with low risk ...

Abstract: The “velocity pulse model” simulates the transfer of turbulence from flowing water into a sediment bed, and its effect on the diffusional mass transfer of a solute (e.g., oxygen, sulfate, or nitrate) in the sediment bed. ...
