most of river engineering problems are complicated and need to be analyzed by three dimensional models of flow and sediment transport. considering the fact that computers and numerical methods with great ability of flow and sediment transport simulation are developing quickly, using numerical modeling by engineers is inevitable. nevertheless, before application, numerical models need to be veri...

a book review is presented on numerical simulation of groundwater flow and solute transport, edited by l. elango, published by allied publishers pvt. ltd. in 2005, 245 pp, hardback isbn 81-7764-923-x.

a micro-channel heat exchanger reactor with different micro-baffle shapes has been studied numerically. governing equations were solved base on the finite volume method with fluent software. in upper section, oxidation reaction of methanol was occurred and in lower section, steam reforming of methanol was done. two sections were separated with solid part which played as heat exchanger and trans...

1024x768 normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background and objective: numerical modeling of biological structures would be very helpful tool to analyze hundreds of human body phenomena and also diseases diagnosis. one physiologic phenomenon is blood circulatory system and heart hemodynamic performance that can be simulated by utilizing lumped method. in this study, we can predict hem...

buckle folds are common traps for hydrocarbon in several contractional provinces. buckle folds form where stratified sequences rest a top salt or some other utterly weak rock as a decollemet zone in units with high competency contrasts by a compressive stress which acted along the length of the rock layers. an important parameter affecting buckle folding of a competent zone above a mobile decol...

nowadays deep excavations are needed for construction of foundation of high rise buildings, providing space for parking and etc. in some cases deep excavations may be constructed in the vicinity of the subway tunnels and causes unpredicted extra displacements and internal forces in tunnel lining of tunnels which were not designed for them and consequently affect serviceability of tunnel. theref...

performing a probabilistic study rather than a determinist one is a relatively easy way to quantify the uncertainty in an engineering design. due to the complexity and poor accuracy of the statistical moment methods, the monte carlo simulation (mcs) method is wildly used in an engineering design. in this work, an mcs-based reliability analysis was carried out for the stability of the chain pill...
