Abstract: Numerical and experimental techniques were applied in order to study the in-cylinder flow field in a commercial four-valve per cylinder spark ignition engine. Investigation was aimed at analyzing ...

Abstract: In this work, transient free surface flows of a viscous incompressible fluid are numerically solved through parallel computation. Transient free surface flows are boundary-value problems of the ...

Abstract: The Upper Paraná River is the main tributary of the La Plata River basin, the second largest in South America, contributing with an annual mean flow of 12 000 m3 s?1 to more than one-half of the total water flowing in the ...

Abstract: An electrical resistivity survey was performed at the estuary of the Rio de la Plata, as part of more comprehensive geotechnical investigations of the subsurface conditions. The studies were required for the emplacement of a

Abstract: The Pohang University of Science and Technology facility (POSTECH) experiments to mimic the siphon breaker system (SBS) of an open-type nuclear research reactor were simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Two ...

Abstract: Two-fluid models are central to the simulation of transport processes in two-phase homogenized systems. Even though this physical model has been widely accepted, an inherently nonhyperbolic and ...

Abstract: A low-cost vibration-monitoring system was developed and installed on an urban steel-plated stress-ribbon footbridge. The system continuously measures the acceleration [using 18 triaxial microelectromechanical system (MEMS) ...

Abstract: Floods in both riverine and coastal zones can cause significant damage to infrastructure, including possible structural failure of buildings. Methodologies commonly used to estimate flood damage to buildings are typically ...
