A continuous/discontinuous Galerkin formulation for a strain gradient-dependent damage model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models that involve gradients of the strain field means that the $C^0$ continuity

On Single Well Forced Gradient Tracer Tests: Implications of Aquifer Physical Heterogeneity and Tracer Behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Single well forced gradient tracer tests are a potential cost-effective approach to estimate in situ aquifer contaminant fate and transport parameters for use in natural attenuation assessments and remediation schemes.

Ocean dynamic equations with the real gravity

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Two different treatments in ocean dynamics are found between the gravity and pressure gradient force. Vertical component is 5–6 orders of magnitude larger than horizontal components for the pressure gradient force in large-scale motion, and for the ...

Fortnightly variability of horizontal salinity gradient affects exchange flow in the Sumjin River estuary

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The horizontal salinity gradient has been reported to play a crucial role in fortnightly variability of estuarine exchange flow in short estuaries. However, spatiotemporal variations in the salinity gradient and exchange flow have not been examined over ...

Errors induced by different approximations in handling horizontal atmospheric inhomogeneities in MIPAS/ENVISAT retrievals [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2016
MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) is a mid-infrared limb emission sounder that operated on board the polar satellite ENVISAT from 2002 to 2012.

Seasonal Gradient Patterns of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Particulate Matter Concentrations near a Highway

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2011
Close proximity to roadways has been associated with higher exposure to traffic-related air pollutants. However, analyses of the effects of season and meteorological parameters on horizontal gradient patterns of traffic-generated air pollutants still ...

Analytical and numerical stability analysis of Soret-driven convection in a horizontal porous layer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We present an analytical and numerical stability analysis of Soret-driven convection in a porous cavity saturated by a binary fluid. Both the mechanical equilibrium solution and the monocellular flow obtained for particular ranges of the physical ...

Reduction of Seepage Risks by Investigation into Different Lengths and Positions for Cutoff Wall and Horizontal Drainage (Case Study: Sattarkhan Dam)

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2022
Seepage from the earth dam’s body reduces the amount of water in the dam’s reservoir and threatens its stability. In this paper, the earth-type Sattarkhan Dam on the Aharchai River has been investigated.

Convection by a horizontal thermal gradient

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2007
This paper considers a paradigm large-Prandtl-number, large-Rayleigh-number forced convection problem suggested by the batch melting process in the glass industry. Although the fluid is heated from above, non-uniform heating in the horizontal direction induces thermal boundary layers in which colder liquid is driven over hotter liquid. This leads to an
