Abstract: Fluctuating jets energized by local excitations can perform operations similar to those of electric circuits but without electricity or moving parts. Some have termed these circuits “fluidic computers.” It is known that ...

Abstract: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive degenerative condition that has various levels of effect on one's memory. It is thought to be caused by a buildup of protein in small fluid-filled spaces in the brain called perivascular ...

Abstract: A 3D computational fluid dynamics investigation of particle-induced flow effects and liquid entrainment from an industrial-scale separator has been carried out using the Eulerian–Lagrangian two-way ...

Abstract: ASCE's Hazardous Waste Liability Committee recently completed a survey of civil engineering firms practicing in the hazardous waste arena. The intent of the survey was to provide information on perceived liabilities in ...

Abstract: A moving-deforming grid study was carried out using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver, FLUENT ® 6.2.16. The goal was to quantify the level of mixing of a lower-viscosity ...

Abstract: A simple approximate method of analyzing the accumulation (propagation) of random error in closed survey traverses is presented. With emphasis on the practical and approximate, a means of assessing survey quality is proposed ...

Abstract: The replacement of liquid-in-glass (LIG) thermometers with electronic thermometers in the National Weather Service (NWS) cooperative (co-op) network and concern for homogeneous temporal temperature records prompted this ...

Abstract: Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ...
