3-D Free Surface Flow Modeling by Efficient Finite Element Method
3-D free surface flows in highly irregular boundary configurations are among the most difficult natural phenomena to be simulated by mathematical modeling. Not only the problems of accuracy,...

Discussion of a Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model of the Upper Chesapeake and Delaware Bays
A time-varying three-dimensional (3-D) numerical model of the Upper Chesapeake and Delaware Bays has been developed to address the impact of deepening the Chesapeake and Delaware (C&D)...

Numerical Accuracies in Steady Open Channel Flow
The authors have reviewed the accuracy of the individual terms and formulations of the conservation of energy equation as used within the constraints of steady open channel flow modelling....

Major Sedimentation Activities in the Soil Conservation Service
The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Soil Conservation Service (SCS) are cooperating in the development of tools to improve prediction of the magnitude of erosion processes, the...

Three-Dimensional Modelling of Recirculation Behind a Groyne
Extensive investigation on the three-dimensional flow patterns behind a groyne have been carried out in a small-scale experiment. A three-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model is verified...

Validation and Recent Enhancement of a Three-Dimensional Curvilinear-Grid Finite-Difference Model for Estuarine, Coastal and Lake Circulation: CH3D
This paper describes the validation and recent enchancement of a three-dimensional curvilinear-grid hydrodynamic model: CH3D. The model employs finite-differences techniques and allows...

Modelling of Stages of Nile River as a Tool for a Better Water Resources Management
As far as Egypt is concerned, the Nile is not just a river, it is rather the pulsing nerve of life. Consequently, it was essential to maintain detailed information about its levels and...

Overview of Mathematical Models?River Nile/High Aswan Dam
This paper has been directed towards the presentation of seven reliable planning tools (mathematical models) that can be used for the investigation of the planning options facing policy...

Dispersion of Tracers Along the Coast of Singapore
The primary objective of the present study is to model numerically the dispersion of a cloud of fine radioactive tracers along the east coast of Singapore. The results of a hydrodynamic...

Three-Dimensional Model of a Stratified Estuary?St. Andrew Bay System, Florida
A three-dimensional modal is applied to a northwest Florida estuary to provide the initial insights into the circulation and flushing patterns of the system. The model, developed by the...

Research and Development of Wave Pump
A new device, 'Wave Pump' is introduced here. The authors present the mechanism of the system, the analytical method for discharge rate, the hydraulic model test...

A Semi-Empirical Model for an OC-OTEC Spout Flash Evaporator
A phenomenological model for the thermal-hydraulics of a spout flash evaporator is presented in this paper. The model considers the two-phase flow behavior both in the spout and in the...

Model for Nonlinear Behavior of Bolted Joints Under Bending/Tension Loading
A mathematical model to predict the load-deformation relationship of single-bolted connections in wood structures subjected to bending/tension loading is described. The model accounts...

Iterative Global/Local Finite Element Analysis
In spite of the advances in computer technology, there is still a need for more computationally efficient methods for performing stress analysis. One approach which is receiving increasing...

The ENF Test: Critical Analysis and Computational Modelling
We have developed an experimental and computational strategy to moderate the experimental scatter of the interlaminar fracture toughness values (G_IIc)...

Rate Effects in the Deformation of Rocks
This paper gives a brief review of creep and rate effects on the behavior of rocks, within a wide range of confining pressures and temperatures, and with a special emphasis on the physical...

A Microplane Constitutive Model for Soils
A microplane model for the inelastic behavior of soils is presented. The microscopic constitutive equations are defined independentely for a set of microplanes covering all possible orientations,...

Creep of Polycrystalline Ice
This paper discusses the extension of creep models for polycrystalline ice to include the effects of a non-monotonic loading history. Attention is focussed on cyclic loading since it is...

An Extended Mixture Approach for Modeling of Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Materials
A rate-independent, anisotropic model for Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Materials (FRCMs) is presented. A continuum damage/plasticity model for the concrete and an effective fiber model...

Thermomechanical Damage Due to Hydration in Large Concrete Dams
This paper presents the bases of a thermomechanical model able to describe the main evolution of concrete properties with aging. The model is based on the 'maturity'...
