The MuCool Test Area (MTA) is an intense primary beam facility derived directly from the Fermilab Linac to test heat deposition and other technical concerns associated with the liquid hydrogen targets being developed for cooling intense muon beams. In this shielding study the results of Monte Carlo radiation shielding calculations performed using the MARS14 code for the MuCool Test Area and inc...

A one-dimensional hybrid numerical model is presented of a shallow-water flume with an incorporated piston paddle. The hybrid model is based on the improved Boussinesq equations by Madsen and Sørensen (1992) and the nonlinear shallow water equations. It is suitable for breaking and non-breaking waves and requires only two adjustable parameters: a friction coefficient and a wave breaking paramet...

Understanding the spatial distribution of wave overtopping water behind coastal protection structures is essential for assessing safety level regions defences. The volume determines planning and arrangements critical infrastructures (e.g., railways, roads buildings) in regions. This study presents a series laboratory-scale physical modelling experiments to investigate plain vertical seawall wit...

The region of Saemangeum for this study is influenced by two major rivers, Dongin and Mankyung. Currently, a 33km long seawall has been constructed for the purpose of reclamation of 283km2 land area and fresh water reservoir area of 118km2 for the major national internal development project, planned for its completion by 2030. The Saemangeum provides an optimal location for tidal power generati...

Recently, Gilbert and Zare proposed that dynamical quantum effects might explain the poor performance ofclassical trajectory calculations in simulating the vibrational deactivation of excited azulene by the lighter noble gases. They proposed an experimental test: a comparison of 3He and 4He deactivation of azulene. In this Letter, the collisional deactivation of benzene, toluene and toluene-ds ...
