In this paper, we discuss some novel techniques for modeling sedimentation and compaction using fully unstructured meshes. The numerical modeling of the sedimentation process is a critical part of basin simulation and synthetic stratigraphy modeling. Normally, structured curvilinear meshes are used to represent sedimentary sequences to be deposited during the simulation. Using this approach, 2D...

The link between orogenic activity and foreland basin stratigraphy is well established; however, potential controls by foreland basin stratigraphy on thrust belt architecture have not been fully evaluated. Mechanical properties of typical foreland basin stratigraphic successions influence the structural development of fold-thrust belts in predictable ways. Fundamental features of foreland basin...

Prediction of sediment yield from catchments is essential in the investigation of reservoir sedimentation and other hydrological and geological studies. Many methods have been used in the prediction of sediment yield. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a newly developed model that can be applied to rural watershed. SWAT model has used Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) in sedim...

secondary clarifiers with large areas are widely applied in wastewater treatment plants. a pilot study was conducted to examine the possibility of applying one and two-stage inclined tube settlers instead of conventional secondary clarifiers. tube diameter in the first stage of the two-stage settler was wide as the conventional ones, but in the second stage, it was narrow to improve the efficie...
