building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. it leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. in numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...

On the basis of the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation in the steady form, a differential equation is developed to evaluate the successive water levels within compartments of an upright perforated wave absorber. Then the initial and boundary conditions are introduced and the differential equation is solved as an initial value problem. Finally the reflection coefficient from the wave...

We consider a family of high accuracy, approximate deconvolution models of turbulence. For body force driven turbulence, we prove directly from the models equations of motion the following bounds on the model’s time averaged energy dissipation rate, < "ADM >, and helicity dissipation rate, < ADM (w) >; < "ADM > 2 U3 L +Re 1 U3 L (1 + ( L )) , and j < ADM (w) > j U3 L2 + p 2Re 1 2 (1 + 2 L2 ) 1 ...

Context. Wave energy dissipation by viscous and resistive damping in magnetic coronal plasmas is addressed. A two and one half dimensional, line-tied magnetic channel is considered whose footpoints are disturbed by buffeting motions of the photosphere. Aims. The aim of the analysis is to determine how effectively shear Alfvén waves, driven by footpoint motions and resonating in the channel, can...

We revisit the dynamics of the curvaton in detail taking account of effects from thermal environment, effective potential and decay/dissipation rate for general field values and couplings. We also consider the curvature perturbation generated through combinations of various effects: large scale modulation of the oscillation epoch, the effective dissipation rate and the timing at which the equat...

abstract in this study, the effect of suspended load transport on the characteristics of submerged hydraulic jump (shj) in a rectangular channel was investigated experimentally. sediment concentration and jet froude numbers in the range of 0.424%-16.15% and 1.93-4.96, respectively, were considered. tow grain size 0.15 and 0.03 mm were used in the experiments. characteristics of submerged hydrau...

Temperature microstructure is mapped in two dimensions for a section 6.7 km long and 150 m deep in water which is 200 m deep. The section is located on the continental shelf southeast of Point Conception on the southern California coast. Regions of mixing activity are composed of numerous individual events, some of which are observed to collapse onto isopycnal surfaces when plotted in a distanc...

The entropy generation analysis of non-Newtonian fluid in rotational flow between two concentric cylinders is examined when the outer cylinder is fixed and the inner cylinder is revolved with a constant angular speed. The viscosity of non-Newtonian fluid is considered at the same time interdependent on temperature and shear rate. The Nahme law and Carreau equation are used to modeling dependenc...

We perform direct numerical simulations of an externally driven twodimensional magnetohydrodynamic system over extended periods of time to simulate the dynamics of a transverse section of a solar coronal loop. A stationary and large-scale magnetic forcing was imposed, to model the photospheric motions at the magnetic loop footpoints. A turbulent stationary regime is reached, which corresponds t...
