The directional response and roll stability characteristics of a partly filled tractor semi-trailer vehicle, with cylindrical tank, are investigated in various maneuvers. The dynamic interaction of liquid cargo with the tractor semi-trailer vehicle is also evaluated by integrating a dynamic slosh model of the partly filled tank with five-degrees-of-freedom of a tractor semi-trailer tank mode...

o N-2 o S equatorial strip, for observations (GISST3) and for the CGCMs with no tropical flux adjustment(page 21). More results of the CLIVAR Study of Tropical Oceans Intercomparisons Project (STOIC) can be found in the article by M. Davey et al. on page 21. Note, that there are also results from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) and the Paleo Climate Modelling Intercomparison Pr...

A rise in the shallow unconfined groundwater at a site in Australia is causing water logging of the underground facility in the affected area. Realizing this problem, a study was conducted to identify the source of water that is causing the rise and to develop an implementation and operation plan of the mitigation (dewatering system). Modelling was undertaken using MODFLOW-SURFACT code, within ...

In systems and control theory dynamical systems described by partial differential equations are known as distributed parameter systems. For modelling and dynamical analysis of distributed parameter systems wide possibilities are offered by virtual software environments as ANSYS, COMSOL Multiphysics, ProCAST, MODFLOW, based on numerical solution of sets of partial differential equations by finit...

Abstract Water stress conditions associated with population growth, climate change, and groundwater contamination, represent a significant challenge for all stakeholders in the water sector. Increasing resilience of Supply Systems (WSSs) becomes fundamental importance: along an adequate level service, sustainability targets must be ensured. A long-term management strategy is strictly connected ...

Climate change can have an adverse effect on agricultural productivity and water availability in semi-arid regions, as changes surface lead to groundwater depletion resultant losses crop yield. These inter-relationships necessitate integrated management approach for water, groundwater, yield a holistic system. This study quantifies the future of associated production large agro-urban river basi...
