In recent decades, the effects of blast loads on existing structures have gained considerable attention due to increase in threat from various activities. Site-specific empirical relationships for calculation blast-induced vibration parameters like Peak Particle Velocity (PPV), Acceleration (PPA), and Displacement (PPD) are commonly used estimation impact blasting an adjacent tunnel. However, th...

Preliminary measurements and numerical predictions reveal that simple, and relatively small, horns generate remarkable amplification of acoustic particle velocity. For example, below 2 kHz, a 2.5 cm conical horn has a uniform velocity amplification ratio (throat-to-mouth) factor of approximately 3, or, in terms of a decibel level, 9.5 dB. It is shown that the velocity amplification factor depen...

In the current study, five different atomistic water models (AWMs) are implemented, In order to investigate the impact of AWMs treatment on the water velocity profile and density number. For this purpose, Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) of Poiseuille flow in a nano-channel is conducted. Considered AWMs are SPC/E, TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP4PFQ and TIP5P. To assessment of the ability of each model in...

We consider both the effect of particle inertia on stochastic Stokes’ drift, and also a related process which could be considered as a crude model of stochastic Stokes’ drift driven by an eddy diffusivity. In the latter, the stochastic forcing is a stable Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process rather than Brownian motion. We show that the eddy Stokes’ drift velocity has a peak at a non-zero value of the co...
