Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a hydrodynamic and a salinity transport models were developed for simulations of Sabine Lake water system located on the Texas-Louisiana border. The target simulation area includes several major water bodies, ...
Urban Heat Island Mitigation Effectiveness under Extreme Heat Conditions in the Suzhou–Wuxi–Changzhou Metropolitan Area, China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCool roofs and green roofs are two important methods used to mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) effect. The Weather Research and Forecasting Model was used to investigate the UHI effect and the effectiveness of ...
Coupling of One Dimensional and Two Dimensional Hydrodynamic Models Using an Immersed Boundary Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical simulations of flooding events through rivers and channels require coupling between onedimensional (1D) and twodimensional (2D) hydrodynamic models. The rivers and channels are relatively narrow, and the widths ...
