Analytical Solution Under Two-Flux Approximation to Radiative Heat Transfer in Absorbing Emitting and Anisotropically Scattering Medium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Radiative transfer in absorbing, emitting, and highly anisotropically scattering media is widely encountered in high temperature applications such as pulverized coal firing furnaces and high ...
Reliability Analysis of Single Pile in Spatially Variable Soil Based on Variance Reduction Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Soil has spatial variability, which means that soil properties at different locations are different but correlated. To represent the spatial variability of soil surrounding a pile, the random field method (RFM) is usually ...
Identification of Important Random Field Domain in Foundation Engineering through Reliability Sensitivity Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the random field model’s consideration of the spatial variability of soil, soil properties at different locations play different roles in the reliability analysis of the foundation. Investigating the importance distribution ...
Effect of Irrigation Methods on Groundwater Recharge in Alluvial Fan Area
