Abstract: Sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) are a major environmental issue. One of the major factors causing SSOs is the rain-derived inflow and infiltration (RDII) to a separate sanitary sewer system. If a wastewater collection ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to describe an autoregressive regression framework with respect to metered sewer flow and simultaneous rainfall data series. The main purpose is to produce more reliable estimates for rain ...

Abstract: A two-sample nonlinear heteroscedastic regression model is described and proposed for the purpose of evaluating a sewer basin rehabilitation by quantifying the reduction in rain-derived inflow and infiltration (RDII). The ...

Abstract: Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) is playing an ever increasing role in the manufacturing of composite components in the aerospace industry. However, the high labor and tooling costs and long ...

Abstract: This paper extends a recent approach to the direct numerical simulation of particle flows to the case in which the particles are not fixed. The basic idea is to use a local analytic ...

Abstract: One important research area of broad interest is the development of highly efficient drug delivery systems for desired site deposition and uptake. For example, controlled drug aerosol release ...

Abstract: Stationarily loaded cylindrical journal bearings with viscoelastic deformable bearing bush is analyzed in this paper. FEM is used to calculate the deformation of bush induced by the pressure of ...

Abstract: A new methodology for a swift and accurate computer simulation of large segments of the human lung airways is presented. Focusing on a representative tracheobronchial (TB) region, i.e., G0–G15, ...
