Abstract: A time-domain numerical method is developed to analyze the hydroelastic responses of flexible floating structures to waves; in which, the boundary element method is applied to evaluate the fluid motion and the finite-element ...

Abstract: Because of the difficulty of specifying optimal design parameters of rectangular sedimentation tanks using a forward numerical model, an inverse calculation model based on an optimization algorithm and a forward model were ...

Abstract: A specially designed, large-scale municipal solid waste (MSW) settlement apparatus was used to conduct experiments in this study. The suction for unsaturated waste in different layers also was measured. The test results ...

Abstract: The gas extraction wells installed in landfills are used to control gas emission. The degradation of municipal solid waste (MSW) is the main influencing factor for gas production and migration. The symmetric equation of ...

Abstract: Air entrapment in soil is common in cases of farmland flood irrigation or intense rain. A simple, physically based model would be more useful than the complex two-phase (gaseous and liquid phase) flow model to describe ...
