RISNumerical Simulation of Contraction Scour in an Open Laboratory Channel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A finite-volume computer code developed at the Institute for Hydromechanics, University of Karlsruhe, has been used to calculate the flow and sediment transport in a laboratory channel with constriction and movable bed. ...
Numerical Modeling of Bed Deformation in Laboratory Channels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A depth-average model using a finite-volume method with boundary-fitted grids has been developed to calculate bed deformation in alluvial channels. The model system consists of an unsteady hydrodynamic module, a sediment ...
Behavior of Geotextile-Reinforced Clay with a Coarse Material Sandwich Technique under Unconsolidated-Undrained Triaxial Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a series of unconsolidated-undrained (UU) triaxial compression tests for investigating the behavior and failure mechanism of geotextile-reinforced clay and the effects of sandwiching nonwoven geotextile ...

Modified Savonius Wind Turbine for Wind Energy Harvesting in Urban Environments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flow-induced rotation of the modified Savonius rotor, for which the blade consists of a semicircular profile and an elliptical shape, is studied using a series of unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. ...
