Numerical Simulation of Seepage Flow through Dam Foundation Using Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics Method (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, a mesh-free approach called smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is proposed to analyze the seepage problem in porous media. In this method, computational domain is discredited by some nodes, and there is no need for background mesh; therefore, it is a truly meshless method. The method was applied to analyze seepage flow through a concrete dam foundation. Using the SPH method, the...
متن کاملA single particle multichannel bio-aerosol fluorescence sensor
We describe a prototype low-cost multi-channel aerosol fluorescence sensor designed for unattended deployment in medium to large area bio-aerosol detection networks. Individual airborne particles down to ~1 m in size are detected and sized by measurement of light scattered from a continuous-wave diode laser (660nm). This scatter signal is then used to trigger the sequential firing of two xenon ...
متن کاملSeismic Stability of Subsea Tunnels Subjected to Seepage
Strength reduction method and ADINA software are adopted to study the stability of submarine tunnel structures subjected to seepage and earthquake under different seawater depths and overlying rock strata thicknesses. First, the excess pore water pressure in the rock mass is eliminated through consolidation calculation. Second, dynamic time-history analysis is performed by inputting the seismic...
متن کاملAn Optical-Fiber-Based Airborne Particle Sensor
A new optical-fiber-based airborne particle counter is reported. Unlike traditional light-scatter-based techniques, the particle is detected through the drop in optical fiber coupling efficiency as the particle disrupts the electromagnetic mode of the optical beam. The system is simple, substantially smaller than traditional systems, and does not require high power laser input. This makes it at...
متن کاملStability under Sensor or Actuator Failures
We consider the standard linear, time-invariant, multiinput multi-output unity-feedback system with possiblc failures in the sensor or actuator-connections. We parametrize the set of all controllers such that the closed-loop system is stable when sensors or actuators fail. We consider two classes of failures: the failure of one connection and the failure of any number of connections provided th...
