RISBehavior of Gas–Solid Two-Phase Flow in a Backward Facing Step - Effect of Interparticle Collisions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents a computational investigation of the dilute gas–solid flow's loss coefficient and reattachment length in a horizontally placed backward-facing step. The article's primary objective is to study the ...
A Novel Plate Fin Heat Sink Design With Rectangular Slots and Interruptions: A Computational Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present work, we have studied the performance of vertical plate finned heat sinks that protrude from a vertical base. The difference between the heat sink base temperature and the ambient, i.e., ΔT, has been varied ...
Study of Evolving Young Wind Waves Under Steady Wind Forcing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, a comprehensive experiment is conducted to investigate the spatio-temporal variability of young wind waves under steady wind forcing. The experimental setup included a wave tank equipped with a wind blower ...
Turbulence Characteristics of Flow Under Combined Wave–Current Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes an experimental study carried out in a laboratory flume with a smooth surface to investigate the effect of a surface wave on unidirectional current. The measured velocity data were analyzed within the ...
Triangular Side Weirs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Discharge characteristics of sharp and broad‐crested triangular side weirs have been experimentally investigated. Relations between discharge coefficient and main channel Froude number for different apex angles have been ...
Relating Institutions and Governance Strategies to Project Outcomes: Study on Public–Private Partnerships in Infrastructure Projects in India
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Public–private partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure are long-term agreements subject to uncertainties. A variety of governance strategies must therefore be enacted over the PPP lifecycle to ensure that they deliver their ...
Litigation Proneness of Dispute Resolution Clauses in Construction Contracts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Disputes are a common occurrence between parties to construction contracts all over the world. Disputes affect project progress and strains relationship among parties to a contract. Dispute resolution (DR) clauses are ...
Identification of BIM Dimension-Specific Contract Clauses in EPC Turnkey Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction operations are becoming increasingly complex, necessitating a greater need for collaboration. Building information modeling (BIM) aids enhanced project visualization and collaboration. The extant literature ...
Usability of Visualization Platform–Based Safety Training and Assessment Modules for Engineering Students and Construction Professionals
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Safety training and assessment programs play a key role in inducing safe behavior on construction sites. The traditional training methods are fraught with limitations. The advent of visualization technologies such as ...
Control Focus in Standard Forms: An Assessment through Text Mining and NLP
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction projects are prone to disputes that are predominately caused by the failure of parties to keep their contractual obligations, and, if not resolved, may spiral into complex legal issues that may take years to ...
