Abstract: The problems of sluice gate and sharp crested weir were studied through hodograph transformations. Numerical calculations of the stream function in terms of hodograph variables were carried out ...

Abstract: A computational fluid dynamics–based numerical parametric study for the characteristics of the solitary wave–induced forces on typical coastal twin bridge decks is conducted in this study. At first, the second-order ...

Abstract: Marine fender systems at U.S. ports are subject to significant damage resulting in high repair costs and other operating difficulties. The problems resulting in this damage are identified and categorized with their usual ...

Abstract: Least-squares (LS) techniques have been a frequent choice advocated by a plethora of engineers for modeling problems requiring a unique solution based on sets of redundant observations perturbed by random noise. In this ...

Abstract: Terrestrial network solutions prepared by different institutes and/or at different epochs imply different reference frame definitions, since various reference stations and processing strategies may be involved. A combination ...

Abstract: This study investigates the removal of perchlorate in solution using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as sorbents. The perchlorate adsorption capacity, kinetics, and thermodynamics of the SWCNTs were assessed. The ...
