Abstract: Wave interaction with fluid mud in a rectangular trench is studied theoretically based on small‐amplitude wave theory. The motion of fluid mud is modeled using the Voigt model for a viscoelastic medium. It is found that ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of liquid storage tank, including the hydrodynamic interactions, subjected to earthquake excitations is studied by the combinations of boundary element method and finite element ...

Abstract: In this study, perforated plates with sharp-edged orificed openings and finite-thickness straight openings were applied to produce nearly isotropic turbulence in a wind tunnel. At the same nominal ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional (2D) depth-averaged river model Finite-Element Surface-Water Modeling System (FESWMS) was used to simulate the hydraulic conditions at a contracted bridge site. The site studied was the James River ...

Abstract: Flow around a 60-mm-diameter pier on a smooth bed was measured in an open-channel flume. By varying the approach flow velocity and water depth, a wide range of subcritical flow conditions was produced. Water surface elevation ...

Abstract: This paper presents a flame growth model based on experimental measurements of flame speed and mean turbulent strain rate. Methane/air mixtures of 0.7 and 0.9 equivalence ratios were centrally ...

Abstract: The motion of spherical particles (diameter 1.58 mm, specific gravity 2.5) on 2 and 3% plane slope was studied in a laboratory wave flume for shoaling wave conditions. The range of wave-height-to-water-depth ratio was

Abstract: This study is related to the propagation of normally incident water waves past a submarine trench with a rectangular cross-section. The primary objective is to investigate the kinematics of the flow within and near the ...

Abstract: The propagation of water waves in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a rectangular submarine trench is studied for a density‐stratified fluid in the trench. The theoretical and experimental investigation ...

Abstract: This study describes a field experiment on wind waves in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Wind-wave height and period were measured at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas and compared to hindcast results generated ...
