Abstract: Numerical limit analyses have been used to evaluate the stability of the 17th Street Canal I-wall levee during Hurricane Katrina. The potential formation of a water-filled gap along the canal-side soil-wall interface at ...

Abstract: The hydraulic reliability of a water distribution system can be defined as the probability that the system can provide the demanded flowrate at the required pressure head. Due to the random nature of future water demands, ...

Abstract: The companion paper by the writers developed a model for the determination of optimal freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries for the purpose of balancing freshwater demands with the various types of fish harvests. This ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to develop a general methodology for determination of the optimal freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries to balance freshwater demands with the harvest of various types of estuarine ...

Abstract: This paper introduces the experimental device used in the research of the jumping-over-teeth in the roller chain drive, describes the differences and the similarities between the jumping-over-teeth ...

Abstract: COBRATF (Coolant Boiling in Rod Arrays–Two Fluid), or CTF, is a transient subchannel code selected to be the reactor core thermalhydraulic simulation tool in the multiphysics codedevelopment project of the Consortium for ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology that can be used for determining the optimal freshwater inflows into bays and estuaries for the purpose of balancing freshwater demands with the harvest of various types of estuarine ...

Abstract: Air pockets trapped in water pipelines are a common phenomenon and can lead to different air-water two-phase flow patterns: stratified, blowback, plug, and bubbly flows. The two former flows contain a large amount of air ...
