Application of a Three-Dimensional Coupled Finite Element?Boundary Element Method
Three-dimensional conditions in underground construction occur at the face of a tunnel, at intersections of underground openings and around roughly equidimensional openings. As long as...

Simulation of Groundwater Flows in Leaky Multi-Layered Aquifer
A newly developed computational methodology for simulating the groundwater flows in multi-layered aquifer is presented. The model is based on the finite element method following the Galerkin's...

Simultaneous Withdrawal of Saline/Fresh Waters in a Stratified Aquifer
The objective of this study is to develop computational tools for simulating the flow behavior of an aquifer in response to simultaneous pumping of two stratified fluids from both sides...

Coastal Erosion Management in Australia and the U.S.
Current knowledge and management policies in both Australia and the U. S. favor non-structural over structural responses to coastal erosion problems wherever possible. The trend towards...

Modeling Boundary Layer Flow in Stormwater Detention Basins
An iterative procedure involving an implicit finite difference numerical scheme was implemented on an IBM personal computer for solving steady, uniform and nonuniform boundary layer flow...

Modeling Hydraulic Problems Using the CVBEM and the Microcomputer
The Complex Variable Boundary Element Method (CVBEM) offers an effective and efficient means for modeling two-dimensional potential and related flow problems. The method has been applied...

Boundary Shear Stress in a Meandering Channel
Longitudinal and transverse velocity, bed shear, and water surface elevation were studied in a fixed-bed, meandering, laboratory channel with naturally varying, non-prismatic cross sectional...

Three-Dimensional Simulation of Two-Fluid Movement in Porous Media Using the Boundary Element Method
The paper discusses three-dimensional problems that include a denser fluid overlain by water in an unconfined aquifer. The two fluid regions are bounded by two-dimensional surfaces, including...

Generation of Steady Density Currents Through Boundary Layer Control
The paper reports on a study to explore the conditions that trigger bifurcation of ambient flow/intrusion interaction into one of two drastically different regimes, i. e. current versus...

Principles of Probabilistic Characterizations of Soil Properties
Sources of uncertainties affecting characterization of soil properties in a homogeneous soil layer include inherent spatial variability, systematic test bias, random test errors, calibration...

Consolidation of Multi-layered Clay
Three kinds of clay with different plasticity were pre-consolidated from slurry and combined into typical two layered systems consolidated under 40 tf/m**2 with single drainage condition....

Acoustic Silt Density Measurement
Significant savings can be achieved on the costs of operations for the deepening and maintenance of navigation channels and harbor basins in muddy areas provided that computations are...

Boundary Element Analysis of Flow in Heterogenous Porous Media
The boundary integral equation method (BIEM) is an efficient numerical method which has been applied to a wide variety of engineering problems governed by a partial differential equation...

Avoiding Cavitation Damage to Hydraulic Structures
Cavitation damage often may be avoided by not allowing cavities to form. Where boundaries are not deeply submerged, their shape must be exactly correct, irregularities must be very small,...
