Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the possibilities of the particle finite element method for simulation of free surface flows.

Design/methodology/approach – A numerical simulation of a number of examples for which experimental data are available [...]

Abstract

The field of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) has important
applications ranging from the bio-medical to the civil and
aeronautical engineering fields. Despite the different approaches
developed over recent years the general solution of FSI problems
remains [...]

Purpose
 
– The purpose of this paper is to highlight the possibilities of a novel Lagrangian formulation in dealing with the solution of the incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations [...]

Abstract

Empirical Colebrook equation implicit in unknown flow friction factor (λ) is an accepted standard forcalculation of hydraulic resistance in hydraulically smooth and rough pipes. The Colebrook equation givesfriction factor (λ) implicitly as a function of the Reynolds [...]

Abstract

Measurements of pressure and flow in a number of pumped plastic sewer mains have been carried out in order to compare the actual observed transients with computations. Primarily the situation following pump run-down has been studied. The investigation covered pipelines with steadily [...]

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe a finite element formulation to approximate thermally coupled flows using both the Boussinesq and the low Mach number models with particular emphasis on the numerical implementation of the algorithm developed.

Design/methodology/approach [...]

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. The topicality of problem of the traffic congestion forecasting in the logistic systems of product movement highways is considered. The concepts: the controlled territory, the highway occupancy by vehicles, the parking and the controlled [...]

Abstract

With the rise of privatized automobility and the increase of traffic jams, new sociotechnical systems have emerged that aim at traffic control. Radio traffic information has been a key element in these systems. Through a qualitative analysis of historical radio broadcasts of the largest [...]

Abstract

Inadequate management of domestic wastewater in rural areas, the discharge of which to water bodies without prior treatment, is a major problem of environmental pollution, as well as a risk to public health. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficiency in the removal of [...]
