Abstract: The mean velocity profile and friction factor in turbulent flows with polymer additives are investigated using Prandtl’s mixing-length theorem. This study reveals that the mixing-length theorem ...

Abstract: The aim of the present study is to develop a formula for the relationship between flow strength and sediment discharge. The appropriate definition of energy dissipation rate

Abstract: Overconsolidated unsaturated soils emerge in many engineering problems. This article presents a constitutive model for unsaturated soils using skeleton stress and degree of saturation as fundamental variables. A subloading ...

Abstract: Turbulent momentum and velocity always have the greatest gradient along wall-normal direction in straight channel flows; this has led to the hypothesis that surplus energy within any control volume in a three-dimensional ...

Abstract: Sediment transport is a geophysical phenomenon in which sediment particles are driven to move in streamwise and vertical directions by various forces. Almost all existing formulas of sediment transport were derived without ...

Abstract: This study proposes an analytical solution for heat transfer in energy soldier piles, considering the convective boundary conditions and temperature distribution differences in the angular direction. The problem is solved ...

Abstract: The feasibility of using landfill gas (LFG) for electricity generation at four St. Louis, Mo., area landfills was explored using the U.S. EPA's E-PLUS (Energy Project Landfill Gas Utilization Software). The estimated ...
