RISEffect of Heavy Metals on Bacterial Attachment in Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The presence of both heavy metals and bacteria is frequently reported in urban storm water runoff. Adsorption and complexation of metals onto bacteria and soil takes place as storm water runoff infiltrates into the subsurface, ...
Liquid Sloshing Damping in an Elastic Container
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is proposed to investigate in this paper the damped vibrations of an incompressible liquid contained in a deformable tank. A linearized formulation describing the small movements of the ...
Comparative Analysis of Single and Dual Media Thermocline Tanks for Thermal Energy Storage in Concentrating Solar Power Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A moltensalt thermocline tank is a lowcost option for thermal energy storage (TES) in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants. Typical dualmedia thermocline (DMT) tanks contain molten salt and a filler material that provides ...
Optimization in Control Theory and Practice

Transport and Environmental Variables and the Impact of Cultural Differences on Playground Use
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper evaluates the transport and environmental variables affecting individual usage of playgrounds, with a focus on cultural differences. The paper was developed on the basis of a case study that was carried out in ...
Confined, Milliscale Unsteady Laminar Impinging Slot Jets: Effects of Slot Width on Surface Stagnation Point Nusselt Numbers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effects of slot width for confined, laminar impinging slot jets of millimeter-scale are considered, including experimental measurements of spatially resolved distributions of local Nusselt ...
Flow Characteristics of Three-Dimensional Curved Wall Jets on a Cylinder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) curved wall jets are a significant topic in various applications related to local heat and mass transfer. This study investigates the effects of the impinging angle and Reynolds number with a fixed ...
Effective Reduction of Cement Content in Pavement Concrete Mixtures Based on Theoretical and Experimental Particle Packing Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The effective reduction of cement content in pavement concrete without compromising its fresh, mechanical, and durability properties can lead to more economical and sustainable pavement engineering. Because a reduction in ...
Impact of Advection Schemes on Tracer Interrelationships in Large-Eddy Simulations of Deep Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the preservation of tracer interrelationships during advection in large-eddy simulations of an idealized deep convective cloud, which is particularly relevant to chemistry, aerosol, and cloud ...
Intercomparison of Single-Column Numerical Models for the Prediction of Radiation Fog
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The short-term forecasting of fog is a difficult issue that can have a large societal impact. Radiation fog appears in the surface boundary layer, and its evolution is driven by the interactions between the surface and ...
