Abstract: A high reflectivity of walls often leads to prohibitive computation time in the numerical simulation of radiative heat transfer. Such problem becomes very serious in many practical applications, ...

Abstract: Air pollution is estimated to contribute to approximately 7 million premature deaths, of which around 4.5 million deaths are linked to ambient (outdoor) air pollution. The deaths attributed to air pollution rank the highest ...

Abstract: Underground structures in liquefiable ground are prone to severe earthquake damage, and the seismic responses of such underground structures can be affected by nearby superstructures. Two centrifuge shaking table tests on ...
