Aerodynamic forces on generic buildings subject to transient, downburst-type winds
Abstract Having been identified as the cause of design load winds in many parts of the world, transient winds such as gust fronts and thunderstorm downbursts have been increasingly researched over recent years. The difficulties in simulating the...

Space decomposition based parallelization solutions for the combined finite–discrete element method in 2D
Abstract The combined finite–discrete element method (FDEM) belongs to a family of methods of computational mechanics of discontinua. The method is suitable for problems of discontinua, where particles are deformable and can fracture or fragment....

Characterization of a Parabolic trough Collector for Process Heat Applications
Abstract In this paper we present experimental investigations on a parabolic trough collector for process heat applications under development which has an aperture width of about 1.845 m. The collector which is installed at the SPF outdoor test...

Modelling of European hake nurseries in the Mediterranean Sea: An ecological niche approach
Abstract An ecological niche modelling (ENM) approach was developed to model the suitable habitat for the 0-group European hake, Merluccius merluccius L., 1758, in the Mediterranean Sea. The ENM was built combining knowledge on biological traits of...

Predicting excavation damage zone depths in brittle rocks
Abstract During the construction of an underground excavation, damage occurs in the surrounding rock mass due in large part to stress changes. While the predicted damage extent impacts profile selection and support design, the depth of damage is a...

Experimental Investigation of Supercritical CO2 Trapping Mechanisms at the Intermediate Laboratory Scale in Well-defined Heterogeneous Porous Media
Abstract The heterogeneous nature of typical sedimentary formations can play a major role in the propagation of the CO2 plume, eventually dampening the accumulation of mobile phase underneath the caprock. From core flooding experiments, it is also...

Hydrothermal alteration mapping from Landsat-8 data, Sar Cheshmeh copper mining district, south-eastern Islamic Republic of Iran
Abstract We studied the applicability of data from the recently launched Landsat-8 for mapping hydrothermal alteration areas and lithological units associated with porphyry copper exploration in arid and semi-arid regions. Sar Cheshmeh copper mining ...

Study of the Effects of Acidic Ions on Cloud Droplet Formation Using Laboratory Experiments
Abstract Atmospheric aerosols affect climate of the Earth, scatter sunlight and serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Yet the reason for many observed events of new aerosol formation is not understood. One of the ideas put forward to explain...
