Work carried out in the last decade or so suggests that the simulators for multiphase flow in porous media should include an additional term, namely a dynamic coefficient, as a measure of the dynamic effect associated with capillary pressure. In this work, ...

The objective of this study is to propose new approaches that can improve hazard zone delineationaccuracy and simulate hazard zones in response to different rainfall intensity. In this study, a two-dimensionalcommercial model FLO-2D, physically based and taking ...

Minimization differences on Cellular Automata approach to predict new inundated area of hot mudflow on LUSI mud eruption disaster which occurred in Sidoarjo area is proposed. There are three characteristics of hot mudflow that is unique such as surface material ...

This document details a typical simulation method and analyses the manner of rockfalls paired with interference of vegetation and other factors.

<p>Based on CFD method, this paper conducted simulation analysis of lorry and car fires for large cross-section road tunnel. The smoke distribution feature was discussed and the corresponding results of critical ventilation velocity were also compared with ...

The effects of near-fault vertical accelerations on the overall response of ordinary highway bridges are investigated. Nonlinear simulation models with varying configurations of an existing bridge in California are considered in the analytical study. A comprehensive ...

Protection forest management requires reliable data on the structural characteristics of forest stands with high spatial resolution, which could be delivered by airborne laser scanning. We subtracted a digital surface model (DSM), derived from the last LiDAR ...

<p>Packer test data and tunnel inflow observations are used to show that the distribution of equivalent hydraulic conductivity obtained for a rock mass from borehole packer testing will be biased if the orientations of the planned tunnel and testing borehole ...

<p>The design of todays state-of-the-art rockfall barriers is currently based on experience and time consuming experimentation. Advanced simulation models are now under development to reduce prototyping time and de- velopment costs and will also provide a ...
