Convection-Diffusion Analysis of Sedimentation in Initially Dilute Solids-Suspensions
The settling of suspended solids in solids-suspensions is treated from the viewpoint of the relative fluxes established as a result of the upward diffusion of water and the downward convection...

Modeling the Drying of Dredged Material
The drying of dredged material was modeled mathematically as a diffusive process and the governing equation was solved using an integral method. Closed form solution equations are presented...

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...

Research in Hydraulics at California Institute of Technology
Activities are centered in the W. M. Keck Laboratory of Hydraulics and Water Resources. Research projects active at the Laboratory reflect a continuing commitment to traditional areas...

Porous Friction Course Solves Airport Hydroplaning Problem
Several hydroplaning incidents had occurred at the Greensboro-High Point-Winston Salem Regional Airport, N.C. Hydroplaning occurs when hydrostatic pressure builds up in the field of surface...
